MASTER INVESTOR PROFILE
According to Daniel , there is no simple secret to success , but he emphasises that growing your team with the right people is essential if you want your business to survive and thrive .
" The goal is to make a measurable social and financial impact and create lasting results in the lives of every stakeholder in the process - the money will follow .”
Sharing a vision is just the start ; but I ’ ve learnt that to grow a business you need a professional team who is passionate about putting that vision into action . This is one of the core pillars of the Assist Group .
Steve Jobs said it well ; if you appoint people with the intention of telling them what to do then you have made a mistake . When you hire specialists for a particular role you need to trust in your judgement and their expertise - they must be able to tell the boss what to do , not the other way round .”
Friendly advice
Daniel ’ s advice to other entrepreneurs is simply to first find the needs , and then find new ways to provide sustainable solutions and win-win outcomes for all participating parties .
“ In the South African property market , I believe there ' s still more opportunity in becoming an investor than a service provider . But be prepared to act quickly and decisively , and make sure you explore opportunities before they expire . Trust in your faith , your team and yourself , and never give up on your vision no matter how difficult it is at times . At the end of the day , success is inevitable if you work with purpose .”
