Biography

Compuzone Internet Technologies cc

There is some other things and problems such that my friend and I tried to work together and changed the financial business into computer retail, but due to some problems I later withdrawn and started my own business, Compuzone Internet Technologies cc.

Things were not easy. I had to start from scratch, without capital, without support, without any help from anybody I had to design my own websites, I had to advertise, had to create my own business cards, forms, systems and at the same time had to spend time fixing computers, driving around to buy the parts from suppliers, deliver, pack and post it.

To do all those things is not easy if you don’t have any formal training in web design, in programming, in databases and hell a lot of other things. It’s also not easy with the emotional strain when my ex-wife and her new husband sat unemployed in Cape Town with four children (two mine).

It’s also not easy and one of the worst things to be alone through all this, to had nobody with enough or at least more knowledge to whom I can turn for advice, for answers on some critical questions. It’s not easy to spend hours and days to develop a concept and everything with the aim to help and support other people, but such people simply stop answering e-mail once joined.

Through all this I stay motivated, I stay determined to succeed, to show the ABSA and the Unibank’s of this world that I can do it without them. I can perhaps not do everything because I am deaf, but I can work together with other hearing people, I can build a the whole business on a help other to help yourself concept and it’s actually what I already did.

Nearly 10 years since my circumstances was last “normal” in the sense that I had a permanent position that I stayed in my own house, that I was really happy and satisfied with my own family around me.

10 Years of problems, 10 Years of trying and trying. 10 Years is a hell of a long time to be alone without somebody at your side, to stay positive, to stay motivated and determined and at the same time be a rock of support and power for other people, for anybody else except for yourself.

Time is running out and there is so much to do, so much goals to reach and love to give, but yet, nobody are guaranteed unlimited time.

At least I know that I tried, that I always stand up again and go forward to follow my dreams because at very least, a winner is sometimes also a dreamer that just never gives up.

I still have to learn a lot. Don't wait for people or circumstances to changes. Create your own circumstances.
