Self-knowledge

accreditation
'Before you start your business, you need to search within yourself to make sure that this is the road you're meant to take. This is your foundation, and it needs to be solid. You need to understand why you are getting into this – is it because you are good at it or passionate about it? Too many people are driven by money and by greed when setting up a business, but you will find that this might not be enough to sustain you through the difficult times. And yes, there are always difficult times.'
– Bontle Motau

'Know yourself – it is critical to identify your strengths and be masterful of the things you like and can do. Know your weaknesses so that you can compensate for them.'
– Dudu Myeni

'Money buys the wrapping paper, but your happiness is the real gift waiting to be unwrapped. As you reveal your talents, learn more about yourself and make your impact.'
– Merle O'Brien
