The easiest way to start out in this challenge is to try and sell the dream of making R1 000 000 from a simple 50c piece. Most people will almost give you R5 to help you on your way. This is however not a repeatable feat. So Tanya and I chose to add an additional rule from the beginning in that we decided not to mention the challenge in any way when we are doing challenge business. That means no mention of the challenge in an attempt to secure a better price from potential suppliers, and also no playing the challenge card as part of a sales pitch. Even though a number of "deals" would be within the parameters of the game, it would (in my mind) take something away from the process.
My progress have up until now not been what I would have liked it to be, but such is life. I have bills that need to be payed every month, and so other work and business tend to take up a lot of time that I would have liked to spend on the challenge. I have thus opted for the slow and steady approach. Please join me on this journey, it may be long, you may get board, but I'm in this for the long haul all the way to R1 000 000 and even beyond. Upon reaching one million rand in cash, I plan on writing a book about my journey, the lessons I have learned and the sights I have seen, and who knows maybe that will inspire someone else to pickup one 50c piece from the side of the road and become a millionaire.
