Mind power expert closes off year’s workshops

 International speaker, Robin Banks was the guest speaker at the final Hirsch’s Entrepreneurs virtual workshop of the year on November 26. The workshop was hosted by Margaret Hirsch and business coach, Marlene Powell, and has continued to be a draw card for new and established businesses in South Africa.

Robin said right now entrepreneurs need advice on transformation and not so much motivation. On the subject of the changes that have taken place on the business front in the last two years, Robin explained change should not be feared but rather embraced.

“We are going through change but we need to embrace it. If you want to make a lot of money, work a lot harder. Reduce your overheads and your business will profit more. Hire a business coach to keep your business fit and on track. Listen to talks; study online; and manage your emotional state. Mentorship is crucial. Make sure that your thoughts, words and actions are in alignment. Make a commitment – and stick to it.”

Co-founder of start-up company Clever Cloud, Zo Kunene said workshops have been invaluable to his company. “I cannot speak highly enough about the encouragement and advice given by our hosts and the speakers. As a start-up, this advice is life-changing!” he said.

The workshops are hosted virtually every Friday morning from 11:00 to 12:00
