Consider your Stokvel or small business as a product or services that's going to fill the need of your customers or clients. The reason for this is that everyone is looking and searching for something. We are all looking for something, to find happiness in various ways and forms, like "a job", " good Food", "nice Clothes" or "finding " Love" etc. Treat your Stokvel like a business or enterprise; therefore be serious about it. You never know where it will take you into the future. Life is constantly evolving and changing, so commit yourself to it 100%. Plan or have a recruiting or selling strategy in order to begin building your motivation to move forward easily and fast.

Try and answer these five questions if you want to speed up your progress.

1. How are you going approach these people?
2. where are you going to find these people?
3. when will you execute this plan or action plan
4. How will you do it i.e. (Market) this service or product?
5. Why are you doing it in the first place?

Remember on EP. 11 We talked about Time Management and this is important to reflect on personal goals, you want to achieve. Buying a new car, a plasma screen or buy a new cell phone and so on. In all these processes have marketing resources to help create a professional "image" or "look" for your service or product. Things like business cards, flyers and banner are good resources in becoming successful. Be patient and focus on the ultimate goal. As a saying goes, "Rome was not build in a day". It takes time to build a legacy- be in a business for long-term purposes and not short term, it will defeat the purpose of building a solid foundation of your residual income.

Patience and positive work ethic will pay-off sooner or later. I planned 20 years ago to have my own publishing company and today I can proudly say; I run and own niche magazines, newspapers, and business catalog enterprise and a record company. Please don't get me wrong, I am not bragging about my small personal achievements, they're not accidents that happened out of the blue, nor gifts inherited from my family. No! I don't even have a family to be proud of. I earned them through blood, sweat and tears and through setting goals and working on these goals meticulously. I had to wait for my ship to arrive - Now it's hear. Let's not talk about me- after all this is about recruiting and selling any product or service. Not every person you talk to will buy your service. The more you talk to 10+ people 1 is a good customer for life. Have fund and enjoy it.
