Random Acts of Kindness Are Best Way to Get Ahead in Life
The Durban Entrepreneurs Club hosted a recent business event at the Durban Country Club with successful business mogul Vivian Reddy offering insightful tips to city business owners.
The Durban Entrepreneurs Club was founded by Grant Gavin of Remax Panache in October 2015 and offers a high caliber of speaker – mostly entrepreneurs – to share their experiences with like-minded business owners. The events also include networking.
“The club was started with the vision of bringing like minded people together to share ideas and ultimately do business together. Relationship building and networking are two important business tools, and that is exactly what we want to encourage at the D.E.C, ” said Gavin. “We also want our members to benefit personally and in business from listening to the stories of successful entrepreneurs.” Vivian Reddy, one of South Africa’s most successful entrepreneurs was invited to speak.
According to a report released by a global research firm, Durban is producing millionaires faster than any other city in South Africa, and it is rapidly becoming the new City of Gold.
Billionaire, Vivian Reddy, is a true testament to that statement. Coming from a humble background, Reddy has amassed a fortune over the past 37 years, “From shear hard work – and random acts of kindness.” he admitted.
Reddy pointed out that over the years he had found people would never forget the way you made them feel. “No man can be rich, without enriching others.” He explained.
Other sound advice? “Don’t harbour hatred. Take a leaf out of Mandela’s book. When he stepped out of jail, he left all his bitterness behind for good. That is the way to live life!”
The next DURBAN ENTREPRENEURS CLUB MEETING will be held on July 21 with Terry Rosenberg, Chairman of Oakbrook Holdings as Guest Speaker. Visit their website – www.durbanentrepreneursclub.co.za to book.
