2023 going to be a interesting year for local e-commerce with Amazon arriving.
Mind blowing numbers: almost 50% of South Africa's 2022 e-commerce spend (R55billon) is on Takealot, they are running at a 3% loss and must now deal with Amazon arrival.

Successful people have two things that differentiate them:
1. They've learned how to embrace and deal with failure from an early age
2. They have a broad set of mental models that allow them to see and approach problems from a different angle

Is there anything worse than a Bot for customer service?
@Discovery_SA thanks for the chat.
Concerning times ahead for Olympic sport funding in SA.
Well done to @carelnolte, @EasyEquities & @cnandco on a great initiative.
.@EasyEquities & @cnandco want to pledge R10k to each of our medal winners. Suspect we can get lots of other corporates & passionate South Africans to join us in thanking our athletes? What do you think @mikesharman ?

When Allyson Felix decided to start a family in 2018, Nike offered a contract that was 70% less & had no guarantees if her performance declined due to pregnancy.
So she left Nike, signed a deal with Athleta, has a 2-year-old daughter & just won her 10th Olympic medal.
Legend 🙏

People need to understand that:
• It's Okay to fail,
• It's Okay to make mistakes,
• It's Okay to admit that you are wrong.
• It's Okay to not have an opinion about something
• It's Okay to say "I don't know"
For the real rowing fans, pick your winners for the Tokyo Regatta.
