Passion to Solve a Big Problem

I really like the following quotes by Mike Murdock:

"You will only be remembered for two things: the problems you solve or the ones you create."

"Successful people are simple problem solvers."

"Your passion is a pointer to the problem you are created to solve."

"Your rewards in life are determined by the kinds of problems you are willing to solve for others."

"Business is simply solving a problem for an agreed reward"

The greatest problem in South Africa is NOT the crime. It is unemployment. Solve the problem of unemployment, and you are well on the way to solving the problem of crime.

The unemployment situation in South Africa is of grave concern to many people, I know. Personally, I have been praying for a business idea that would provide employment and in a small way (initially) help solve this problem. If each person in this country who HAD a job (or a business) employed just ONE more person, that problem would be solved or greatly reduced. A business idea that creates employment means something that is labour-intensive. Like bracelet-making for Beautiful Bracelets!  I think that subconsciously, by calling in to Bruce Whitfield on Radio 702 and taking up the #MoneyShowR1000 Challenge, my own wishes or prayers were being answered! I said I would make bracelets, employ 5 ladies to make them and achieve a profit within 6 weeks. Here is an idea that could work..Other ideas may follow. In fact I have no qualms starting up multiple profitable business ventures, each providing employment to 5 people. Just 20 of those and 100 people would be employed! Alternatively, Beautiful Bracelets could be becoming part of a very special story in its own right...
