“Ambition is the determination and endurance that you have to exhibit in order to realise your dream, and your goal is the articulation of that dream. For instance, if you want to be a pilot, there are certain things you must do in order to get there. But the most important thing is to know in your heart of hearts that you are cut out to be a pilot. Because if you become a pilot nd discover that’s not what you really wanted, you’ll have wasted time. If you have an ill-defined goal and you haven’t really articulated your dreams clearly, your ambition will be wasted.” – Quote from PostNet founder, Ian Lourens, taken from the book, “Conversations with JSE AltX Entrepreneurs”, which was written by Siyabonga Mapoko. I’ve just read the extract of the book and can’t wait to buy the complete copy. It seems to be a great read for anyone considering/starting/operating a new business.
Siya himself is quite an inspiration. I was blown away by the simplicity and impact of his website: www.icaptivegroup.co.za. It’s so cool to see success in action:)
