Shake the blues off yourself and your business with ‘Rise Up’
“Whether you feel completely disheartened and demotivated, or whether you are relatively okay, but still some distance away from the life you were meant to live, this event is an excellent opportunity to reignite some proper, sustainable spark."
South Africa has become a place of near-constant struggle, demotivation, and even hopelessness for many individuals and businesses. On Thursday, September 1, well-known entrepreneur, philanthropist, and motivational speaker Hein Strauss will demonstrate how the exact opposite is true at the five-star Morrells Boutique Hotel.

‘Rise up’, an event that will also include a delicious dinner, is designed for those who feel uninspired and disconnected from their dreams, as well as those who are on a good path but could use some additional inspiration and a solid networking opportunity to maximise their personal and professional potential.
Hein says this session will definitely not be about sugar-coating, telling people that ‘there is no crisis’, that there ‘really isn’t a single good reason to be unhappy’ and that ‘simply reframing your thoughts will fix everything’.
“It’ll be a healthy dose of realism that draws from my own experiences, good and bad – confronting the harsh realities that we face in the news and our daily lives. But it will also focus strongly on how people’s core needs, even across various socio-economic contexts, are virtually identical; how, in addressing these needs, we should make time to proactively revisit and unpack the meaning we want in life, the epicentre of our character, its possibilities and its unique and absolutely infinite potential; to convert wishes and dreams into actions and goals by pushing through the things that hold us back, unlocking and stretching our faith, abilities and skills to the max and growing into a better version of self in the process.”
“Whether you feel completely disheartened and demotivated or whether you are relatively okay, but still some distance away from the life you were meant to live, this event is an excellent opportunity to reignite some proper, sustainable spark. It offers a platform to be inspired, to rise up and reconnect with your destiny. All with a great social vibe and an excellent networking opportunity to boot.”
Tickets are available at R500 each. The event will start promptly at 18:00. Seats are limited, so be sure to secure your booking soon.
