Amazing can only be contained for so long, that is the simplest description I have of Simangaliso Owami Dlamini. Let his risk taking personality be a wake up call... I managed to interview him and this is what he had to say about himself..

After high school I went to the university of Johanessburg in Auckland park to study Film and TV and in a short space of 3years I archived my degree. 

During my second and 3rd year I interned at a company called Touch Media Plus were I was a cameraman and editor.

Immediately after finishing my degree I managed to acquire myself an internship at SABC and worked on a show that has not yet been aired called "sheroes".

 A month later, I co-created a popular show for SABC 1 called "Sunday Chillaz". The show aims to reflect and accentuate the Sunday mood using soul music and to my surprise, I was promoted to  Executive Producer of the show. At the tender age of 21 I have produced more than 38 episodes on that show making me the youngest executive producer in South African TV.

Working at SABC was a huge learning curve for me however, as days turned into weeks and weeks into months I had an epiphany. I had always felt strange about working for a paycheck, in my mind it was like working for a false sense of security so I decided to make my dreams my priority. Left with only 13 episodes to produce, I decided to quit my job at SABC and start Vuur Val Productions.

Vuur Val Productions is a television and production company specializing in drama for Tv documentaries and film only. At this moment in time it is still a young production company trying to find its place within the broadcasting industry.

Despite all the help that I receive from my mates I am still the only permanent worker here and everyone else is freelancing. Vuur Val Productions creates and produces documentaries, drama series for tv and films. Our aim is to build a relationship with all big broadcasters and distribution companies in South Africa. 

We are not really big on youtube but in the future we may upload our work for promotion purposes because like with every other project, funding poses a big challenge and without it it becomes hard to set projects off the ground. Alot of artists out there experience the same issue but that alone is not enough to pull us down, doing what we love keeps us motivated.

Currently Vuur Val Production is a consultant to Independent producers who are creating new shows and whatever amount of profit we make through consultation is used to generate our own projects. Once our big projects get a green light we will let people know what to look forward to.

Big companies like Quizzical Pictures which has manged over the years to produce good stories for South Africans is where we draw our inspiration from. We hope to partner with them in the future.

My message to the youth is simple. Rather than working for a salary which can only take you to certain point, work on building your dreams.

Do not be afraid to step out of your comfort zone in persuit of your dreams. It might be the best decision of your life!.

This Entrepreneur Almost Gave Up On Himself. Now, He Runs a Million-Dollar Brand.

A backdrop of failed pursuits

Bhakta's plan out of college was to join the Marines, but a shoulder injury ruined that, so he went into investment banking instead. In 2000, he and a friend started a web-based business called Automovia that was bought by Chrysler two years later. While his investors were paid, Bhakta counts that venture as a personal loss as the company never launched the consumer application it set out to create. After that, Bhakta gathered an investor group and led the redevelopment of a hotel in Vail, Colo.

Good day my peoples!

I thought I'd start today by sharing my story so to make you understand the reason why I decided to start this movement. After I graduated  at PC Training and business College in 2012, a sobering slap of reality hit me, in my mind I had managed to somehow imagine a fairy tale beginning where my career would instantly explode into life. But little did I know.

I'm sure a lot of you have been through this similar predicament(some still are) where you hand out so many CV's not a day passes without a signature paper cut on your hand. With not even one call back from all these big companies that I had for years looked up to a kid, I resorted to weekend promotions.

In a nutshell that sucked. I honestly hated it and ended up defaulting and as I was about to quit and pursue my entrepreneurial ventures, a call came in from some big company offering a call center position(I should ignored it!!). Excited at the time I didn't even hesitate, why would I?  It felt like going from broke to rich!!. My first paycheck,love at first sight! I honestly didn't believe that some people spend that kind of money over one weekend.

Little did I know that, that was the beginning of yet another roller coaster ride that would change my life till to day.

Long hours!
Night Shifts!
Working 30 days getting payed once a month!
Too many Rules!
Moody  Management!
Sacrificing the only one chance God gave to Live!
Sacrificing family time!
.....

The list goes on!

:)..so guess what I did...
...I quit! that's right!(don't do this without a plan!)

I am now chasing the only thing that I am willing to die for , my financial freedom.! Amandla!! #fistintheair..
I have realized that after all the long hours at work elevating somebody else's business, only entrepreneurship can save us from all our debts and deliver us our financial freedom.
