Hello The genesis year is drawing to a close and I have to admit as excited as I am to finish exams and graduate, a part of me is a little sad it’s all over so soon. Time really fly’s when you are working hard and having fun! In true Genesis style, I will wrap this up by sharing some of the many things I will never forget after this experience. Networking is the key to everything Plan backwards from a deadline as soon as you know it exists Write everything down, including minutes at meetings The most important aspect of any business...

Hello It’s taken me by surprise how the final few weeks of student life are upon us and with that of course multiple deadlines to meet. I’ve been reflecting on the process we have taken on the journey known as genesis and of with the current situation a big part of that has been the importance of planning in advance or being ahead of the curve. We are facing the reality of closing our business with minimal sales and a large amount of inventory back into the production line after faults in production. We are not without stock, but have not...

But fear not, as mentioned earlier you can catch me on my blog….originsofhouse.wordpress.com How does one say goodbye………I cant even tell you about the lesson I learnt, cause a recap that would write a textbook.

The whole day spent in the library, this has become the story of my life. I don’t even sweat it anymore. You tend to realise the value of hard work when you are constantly being pressurised to work under pressure. This had led me to think of a life in quadrant two. This is where you are dealing with important things which are not urgent. This is the ideal quadrant to live your life in. As much as I’m tired at the moment, I know I have covered all the important things due on Monday, this leaves me with time to tomorrow to do other things...

Yet another week has come to an end. I keep asking myself where this year has gone, seems like yesterday when I was still attending Networks sessions trying to get to know members of the class. Now nearly 10 months later, I find myself looking back at what I could have done better or differently. It’s only human nature that we critically analyse ourselves, failing to see what good we have accomplished. When we started this course my goals where never to make money, but to learn as much as I can. The money  would have been a nice added...

What to talk about? Today I think im gonna a bit off topic, I will share with you one of my passions. This being house music. I recently started a blog on the origins of house music. One of the lessons that I learnt this year is to follow ones passion. The link for the blog is originsofhouse@wordpress.com One of the recent articles I wrote was on the birth of house music in South Africa. As much as we need to pay homage to Chicago for being the architect for the house that Jack built, they had no idea that their music was fueling the...

Been yet another long day at the office, sometimes I forget that I have to blog. This is due to the amount of work that one has been faced with during this year. Today we were given the breakdown of our final close of business report, and I must say it’s a daunting prospect. But on second thoughts, what hasn’t been this year, however somehow we managed to get through. Sometimes when I look back I cant believe what we have achieved this year. It actually makes me wonder what Im capable of achieving in my life time. Exciting times ahead I tell...
