Seek ye first the kingdom of God<br />
and His righteousness and all these other<br />
things will be added unto you.<br />

collapsing, lactic acid building up<br />
but you know that you got to push<br />
in order to get the beautiful trophies<br />
and medals. Usain Bolt probably feels<br />
the same way when he is running.<br />
I have felt like quitting before but I<br />
motivated myself like in the bible, it<br />
says David encouraged himself. After<br />
losing a battle, it is important to keep on<br />
keeping on,” Khathola. But he has learnt<br />
that entrepreneurship is about taking<br />
chances and risks.<br />
Khathola encourages an aspiring<br />
entrepreneur to: ‘’Keep focused; don’t<br />
let the troubles of the world distract<br />
you. Right now we have the covid-19<br />
troubles, politics, the government<br />
increasing taxes and tariffs and things<br />
like crime. But at the end of the day,<br />
if you are focused you will achieve<br />
everything.”<br />
In conclusion, Khathola shares<br />
Matthew 6:33 as his favourite quote.<br />
The scripture reads, “Seek ye first the<br />
kingdom of God and His righteousness<br />
and all these other things will be added<br />
unto you.” MBW<br />
KEY LESSONS LEARNT<br />
• Start Small – not having enough funds should not stop you<br />
from starting your dream business, start with the little you<br />
have and grow the business.<br />
• Customers are your biggest investors, take care of them and<br />
treat each as if they are royalty and your business will grow<br />
quickly.<br />
• Aim to be the best at whatever you do and you will reap the<br />
rewards.<br />
• Focus on one thing at a time – while growing your business,<br />
focus on it alone and grow it into a big business before you<br />
can start looking into other businesses.<br />
• Embrace failures – after experiencing big failures in your<br />
business, do not give up, encourage yourself and look up to<br />
the bigger goal.<br />
• Keep focused and do not let all the trouble happening in the<br />
world to distract you.<br />
