I am incredibly grateful for the wisdom and love shared by my dad and his brothers, my Uncle Rannie and Uncle Percy. Each of them has left a lasting impact on my life and my journey as an entrepreneur in unique and profound ways. 🎉
These photos, taken 46 years apart, are a testament to the enduring bond and the incredible fact that everyone is still here—happy, prosperous, and healthy. While their gorgeous 70's-style afros are now gone, their wisdom and support remain strong. 😂
My Dad's immigration to Canada in the early seventies was a monumental step that showed me the value of hard work and determination. He has always emphasized the importance of travelling and the joy it brings, teaching me to embrace new experiences and cultures. Most importantly, my dad has always encouraged me to do what makes me happy, a principle I apply to my business every day.
Uncle Rannie has a remarkable ability to bring family and friends together. He’s shown me the importance of maintaining strong bonds and cherishing those close to us. Running a business abroad, he shared the pros and cons, giving me a practical perspective on entrepreneurship and the challenges and rewards that come with it. His insights have been invaluable in navigating the complexities of my own business.
From Uncle Percy, I’ve gained a deep appreciation for philosophy, religion, and the intricacies of current events and politics. His unique perspective as an atheist has enriched my understanding of different beliefs and viewpoints, fostering a more open-minded and inquisitive approach to the world around me. This open-mindedness is crucial in business, helping me to understand diverse perspectives and make informed decisions.
My dad's emphasis on happiness and hard work drives my daily operations. Uncle Rannie's experience in bringing people together and his business acumen have guided my approach to team building and strategy. Uncle Percy's critical thinking and broad perspective have helped me stay informed and adaptable in a rapidly changing world. 😍
Their support and encouragement have been invaluable. Their career and life journeys have been a source of inspiration, and their advice has been a cornerstone of my growth as an entrepreneur. I encourage every entrepreneur to seek insights from their family members about their career journeys. The lessons learned from these conversations can be transformative. 💡
Thank you, Dad, Uncle Rannie, and Uncle Percy, for your unwavering support and the invaluable lessons you've imparted. Your wisdom continues to inspire me every day. 💜
