This online library will help you think about important financially focused questions that you should be asking.
It will also direct you to financial information that may be relevant to you and your current situation or life experiences.
What is a Life Experience?
We often talk about the big moments in our lives as ‘Life Events’ or ‘Life Stages’.
Life events are important moments in our lives but are not always a once off event, but rather a period in our lives that we are experiencing.
These times in our lives are called ‘Life Experiences’. You can live through more than one experience at a time and each experience could go on for a long time.
Most people may not live through some of the life experiences at all and will experience them at different times of their lives - there is no specific order (except for death).
Becoming an entrepreneur
Successful businesses don’t happen overnight. So often we only see the finished product or hear the story of a successful entrepreneur, but we do not hear about the blood, sweat, and tears it took, to get them to where they are today! Everybody who starts a business does so to make money. By starting a business, you are helping to grow the economy of South Africa.
