W

hat better way to have kicked off the
Wealth Masterclass in Cape Town
than by drinking coffee or tea on the
deck of the Bay Hotel and watching the waves
crash on the beach a mere 40 meters away.
The day was busy from start to finish, with
unsuspecting guests happily surprised by the
speakers and the events as a whole. Everyone
had the chance to have their picture taken, the
speakers were more than happy to take a few
with the guests. Neale Petersen the owner of the
publishing company Real Estate Media welcomed
everybody and kicked off the Wealth Masterclass.

The Speakers
Jannie Mouton shared his personal victories
and methods on business ownership. Clem
Sunter signed a couple of books and chatted to
attendees, giving them some personal insight.
Gordon Mackay shared his life-changing
story of how a doctor damaged a nerve in
his face, changing him forever and teaching
him to always get a second opinion. Gordon
shared with us how he overcame this, almost
committing suicide twice; his inspiring and
hopeful story showed that despite some failure,
you can still succeed.

The speakers have all succeeded in their
business and taught us their habits, how they
utilized them to help them attain success.
Learning from someone who has gone on to
become a success in property, is the best way to
attain what you want. There is a reason they are
where they are today.
Donald Trump Junior politely declined to do an
impression of his father’s famous saying “You’re
fired” but he was patient and obliging to all the
attendees questions and to sharing his investing
secrets, with a constant grin on his face, his
easygoing manner had the audience in his thrall.
