This week I had the opportunity to present at the Greater Philadelphia Christian Writer’s Conference. It was a blessing to interact with so many people who have a heart to communicate a kingdom message that changes lives.

During one of my presentations, I shared an A-Z guide (26 things) that I wish I had when I first started out as a writer. Frankly, I was so confused. I thought it would be helpful to share the things with you to get you up the learning curve faster than I was able to climb it.

  • Featured Presentation: Leadership Lessons from South Africa

Featured Presentation

“He [Nelson Madela] always made the point, if they say you must run, insist on walking.
If they say you must walk fast, insist on walking slowly.That was the whole point. We are going to set the terms.” — Neville Alexander, fellow prisoner

I had the opportunity to spend two weeks in South Africa in celebrating my 50th birthday. During the trip, we spent time in Cape Town, Durban, and Johannesburg. We also crossed the border and spent a day in the Kingdom of Swaziland.

During my visit there with my family, we visited many of the most popular tourist attractions including:

During my visit, I gleaned five lessons that are important in life and in leadership.

  • Lesson #1: Your attitude not your circumstances determine your success
    • The Prisoners at Robbins Island transformed the place from a place of oppression to a place of education
  • Lesson #2: The brightest hope emerges from the darkest storms
    • What is now known as the Cape of Hope was originally called the Cape of Storms by the first Portuguese to sail its treacherous waters
  • Lesson #3: You, not your circumstances, define your turning point
    • Nelson Mandela chose to use his power to forgive rather than to rebel and in the process ushered in a new democratic South Africa
  • Lesson #4: Achievements from small to big may be more similar than different 
    • The small 2 foot 11-pound Dassie and the large African Elephant unbelievably share the same DNA
  • Lesson #5: You have to act differently at high altitude
    • At more than 5700 feet above sea level, Johannesburg has a higher altitude than Denver, the mile-high city

I’d love to hear your perspective on these five lessons from South Africa. Leave a comment.

LYH67: Generation One – Teaching Your Children about Wealth [Podcast]

Show Agenda

Featured Presentation

According to CNBC.com, a new survey from UBS asked 4,450 investors what it means to be wealthy. More than half of tthem said that being wealthy means having “no financial constraints on activities.”
In this second half of my life, I want to pursue a life where there are no financial constraints on our activities. My wife and I want to be Generation One when it comes to wealth creation—the last generation to start from zero. 
As a member of Generation One, I’ve identified the top ten wealth lessons that I want to teach and demonstrate to my children.
  • Lesson #1: Employer stability is largely an illusion. It is more stable to have ten of your own clients than to work for one employer who can let you go at will.
  • Lesson #2: Don’t be enamored with a six figure salary, three weeks of vacation, and benefits when you can become the employer yourself and make a seven-figure salary, have as much vacation as you like, and secure your own benefits plan 
  • Lesson #3: Inflation will never allow you to save your way to wealth. You save until you see a prudent investment opportunity that will allow you to outpace inflation.
  • Lesson #4: If you want true financial freedom, you must develop your own business. You will not get wealthy working for someone else.
  • Lesson #5: Look for opportunities to provide a service for which people will pay. If you hear at least three people talk about something they wish existed, then create it yourself.
  • Lesson #6: Thoroughly research your business decisions but avoid analysis paralysis. Look carefully but don’t be afraid to leap.
  • Lesson #7: Always seek the company of others who generate more money than you do. Strive to be the poorest person in the room.
  • Lesson #8: The color of money is green. Shrewd business people will respect green. So, don’t let racial and ethnicity assumptions constrain you. 
  • Lesson #9: See other businesses as possible collaborators not as competitors. Don’t think of business as a zero sum game. Look for ways to expand the pie.
  • Lesson #10: Know your value and your strengths. Do what you’re best at and hire others that can do the other things faster and better than you 

I’d love to hear your perspective on these ten lessons. With what do you agree or disagree? Leave a comment.
