Entrepreneurial Empowerment

As we see the trend to move towards small business increase in South Africa and especially Cape Town, small business owners are requiring to build networks to support their efforts.

Networks for a business owner is critical, not only for the foundation network that covers the financial, business skills, coaching, product development and legal assistance but for the expansion network that includes skills such as marketing, brand awareness, suppliers, customers and referral networks.

BNI, Business Network International, have been instrumental in developing many small businesses all around the world and link their success to their structure and routine meetings. Each week thousands of small business owners meet at venues close to you to share their products and services and to refer and collect referrals from each other that helps grow their business. The motto ‘Givers Gain’ has proven to be a huge success for all of those who attend. Our branch in the suburbs of Cape Town http://bnichapter.co.za/tokai/ meet each Thursday for breakfast, education and a time of sharing and card swapping. Not only does this grow our businesses but also helps develop the friendship and support structure critical to the life of an Entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurial Empowerment can be taken further with coaching and workshops offered by HEP. Check out www.hep.co.za for more information.

HEP - Human Energy without Load Shedding

Managing the human energy is not an easy thing and does not rely on some maintenance person at some coal plant up country who may just drop a bold into the big fan thing than needs to round and round.

The process of human energy is interesting as it comes from within. During our initial studies we looked at ways to generate energy through music, drumming, great speeches and motivational videos but all this is just hype. Now hype is not a bad thing if you want a massive amount of focused energy to be available for a short time like for a riot or political campaign or to go into hand-on-hand combat. But for companies and families it is wasted. What we need is sustainable long-term momentum energy that will last for longer than the drive home from the rock concert.
This energy comes from within our systems. What we discovered is that we leak energy through our emotional wounds. Wounds such as relational, financial, political, social and self esteem wounds that we all carry around with us. If these wounds are addressed through one of our HEP programmes or workshops we have seen an incredible increase in personal energy resulting in better engagement at work and with family life. Programmes such as our mentoring Life Box and our E2 coaching has proved invaluable in saving people from their own schedule of load shedding and shutdowns. http://www.hep.co.za/

Collective Wisdom

Collective wisdom is not a mysterious state of mind reached at fullmoon with candles and crystals, but mearley a productive use of your startegic networks. Taking time to share and listen can go a lng way toward actually achieving somehting in your life. famly or company.
