Days Until POPIA is Live!
Private
Individual? Small Business?
You are still subject to The Protection of Personal Information Act.
The good news? Your needs are simpler than those of a big business.
No need for fancy lawyers or highly-paid consultants. If you know what
to do. Learn that now:
Invest in this POPIA course at a better price
than any other. |
The POPI Act (POPIA) is YOUR Problem... Start Solving
it Tonight!
The Protection of Personal Information Act. AKA the POPI Act, or POPIA, goes
live at midnight on June 30, 2021. That is very soon.
If you don't yet know what this means to your business, we can offer three
free options to get you up to speed fast:
If you want to get compliant fast, join our online
Five Day Fast Compliance series. Invest one
hour each day for a week. Then, invest another hour each day in working through
the instructions in the context of your firm. By the end of the week, you will
be more compliant with this new law than 90% of businesses in South Africa.
You don't have to attend the live sessions. All are recorded so you can
access them whenever you want. The videos are often better because you can
rewind and replay.
There is no other practical compliance solution at any price for small
business owners.
You'll also get free coupons to train up to 15 employees. (The Act demands that
you educate them on privacy.) You save R6,000 in training fees if you can find
another option.
Get all of the policies, contracts, and procedures to satisfy the Information
Regulator. You save R10,000 on other offers of the paperwork alone.
Nobody else in SA offers practical training which shows you exactly what to
do and how to do it.
You get a 30-day no-questions-asked guarantee.
Got any questions? Reply to this email and ask.

TONIGHT's POPI Compliance Webinar by
small business expert Peter Carruthers. It's online on Wednesdays, at 8 pm SA Time. You
will understand what you need to do to comply –within 60 minutes. It's simpler than it seems.
Do You
Use Excel? Making Mistakes is Easy!
Finding errors is hard! But they can
kill your company! In 2012, a London Olympics employee accidentally
typed in “20,000” instead of “10,000". The Olympic Committee
then sold 10,000 tickets for non-existent seats at minor events. They had to upgrade them to major events
—at a loss.

Would You Rather be in the Coffin than Giving the Eulogy?
It is said that most people's number one fear in life is speaking in public.
Ahead of any other fear, including death.
Think about it:
That means that, at any given funeral, most people would rather be in the
coffin than alive and giving the eulogy.
Are you one of them?
If you are afraid, or even seriously nervous, about speaking in front of a
group, it's bad news for your career.
Bad news for your future income.
Bad news for your relationships: Are you going to elope rather than give a
wedding speech?
How are you going to ask your future spouse's parents, even?
It needn't be like that. Just as nobody is born able to speak, Nobody is
born a good public speaker.
It takes practice, and a willingness to tackle your fear. One baby step
at a time.
You can do this in a supportive, friendly, fun environment. Amongst people
who empathise because they have been on the same journey.

Thought for the Day:
"It's incredulous!"
No, "incredulous" means "(of a person or their
manner) unwilling or unable to believe something". You are incredulous
when you find it incredible. They don't mean the same.

You Just Have To Accept It
From Daily Stoic:
When the pandemic
hit —as with all sudden or unexpected life events— people responded in myriad
different ways. Some people denied it. Some people hoped to be exempted from it.
Other people cowered in fear of it. As you likely saw among your own peer group,
none of these responses were particularly effective.
When we talked to Jocko Willink on the Daily Stoic podcast a few months ago,
he described the only type of people among his client base of businesses and
nonprofits and military leaders who had managed to thrive during these unusual
times. They were the ones who accepted the reality of the situation
immediately. Unflinchingly.
They didn’t deny.
They didn’t run. They didn’t expect
magical thinking to rescue them. No, they got to work. Remember the
imperative of the Stockdale Paradox—influenced as it was by Epictetus:
You accept with complete honesty the perils of the obstacle in front of you.
You remain convinced that if it is possible to survive, not only will you, but
you will also turn this into the best thing that ever happened to you.
It’s essential
that we do not mistake this realism, this fatalism, for passivity. Because it is
not. However, there is no progress without first accepting the particulars of
the circumstances in which you find yourself. Lying, denying, pretending, hoping
that something —anything— will save you beside yourself is a fool’s
errand.
You have to face
it. You have to see the reality. Then you get to work.
Kouga, a South African Success Story
No matter how bad things are in many parts of South Africa, the story of
Kouga Municipality in the Eastern Cape shows us that things can turn around
swiftly with the right leadership.
Kouga is home to some 200,000 people living in Jeffrey's Bay, Humansdorp, St
Francis Bay and the surrounding areas. When they gave the DA an outright
majority in the 2016 local government elections, we inherited an indebted
municipality collapsing under years of ANC neglect and corruption. To make
matters worse, it was also the start of a prolonged drought.
Five years on, Kouga is a place of hope and progress, where the promise of “a
better life for all” is real for people. The difference between 2016 and 2021 is
striking. Consider the progress made in
the following
(read more here).
The story of Kouga shows that the first step to building a successful South
Africa is to vote DA. In the local government elections on 27 October 2021, a
vote for the DA will be a vote for success because the DA gets things done.
