This guy had reached

This guy had reached at the age of 45. He was married with two children. His wife was unemployed but always had that business mind. At One time she's selling Tupperware one time she's selling perfume. She wasn't that profitable.

When the father was waiting for his money from retirement things got tough as there was no money coming in they were even struggling for food.

They lived in a three bedroom apartment in the surbubs.
The father was mad depressed drinking every day the mother had to stand up and be strong during that situation.

She decided to rent our their three bedroom her and her daughters and husband were now slipping in the living room.

The money they collected from renting the rooms they used it to pay Bill's.
They were actually surviving. That's when the husband started believing in his wife.
He had never supported his wife's businesses and thought she was wasting time and money.

Even though the money was coming in from the rent it still wasn't enough they struggled with school fees.

The family had a van the mother came up with the idea of cooking and selling food at the taxi ranks. They would wake up at 4:00 am start cooking. Around 9:00am they would be at the rank selling food.

They were sleeping with R1000 profit daily. The father fell in love with business when he started seeing the money coming in.

They went on registered a company and got government projects.
Today the father is busy with tenders and the mother is making R3000.00 -R5000.00 a day and sells food in two taxi ranks employs 5 people.

The family is now well off.

My point is.

1. A job is not guaranteed being permanently employed doesn't mean the company is guaranteed not to have problems in the future that will force it it retrench people.

2. Choose your partner wisely. Get a mentally strong partner who will stand up and support you during hard times. Someone who would sleep in the shack with you if she has to.
Someone who will make stew for you even when there are no onions and tomatoes using what's available in the house. Someone who will not complain.

3. If you die today will your children be well taken care of by your partner is he or she mentally strong to use your assets to the best advantage of your children? Like this woman who used the house to generate rental income and used the van to start a food business.

4. The family became richer after the retrenchment of the husband. Because they had nothing to lose that's when they started capitalizing and thinking outside the box. That's when the mother realized her true potential.
You can only realize your true potential when your in danger or when your outside your comfort zone.

5. There are no guarantees in life. Today you can be up tomorrow you can be down always be prepared for the downside.
