Old Mutual Legends Magic

September 30, 2011

I was asked to speak at this years Fetola Legends conference. I gladly accepted this and chatted to the group of around 100 entrepreneurs about the urgency of social media as a marketing tool for any small business. This was their comment after my talk:On behalf of the Fetola team, I would like to thank you for speaking at the Old Mutual Legends Magic event.

"Your willingness to share your time and expertise in the area of social media & marketing in business was critical to the success of this legendary event. The audience seems to have been captivated by your energy and enthusiasm; and we have received much feedback about your speech, and the style in which you delivered the information.

Thanks again for providing such an informative and thought provoking presentation and helping to make this a Legendary Affair! I hope we can arrange to have you speak at another event in the near future."

Thanks Guys, t was a great time well spent.

Personal Accountability

April 1, 2011

We grow up as school kids being told what to do and how to do it. Then if we do not do what we have been told we get shouted at, beaten or put in detention. This puts a huge negative aspect on the word accountability. We get used to blaming others for our failures or use the crowd philosophy to justify our actions.

But then we grow up and are required to act more independently, especially if we run our own business. We do not have anyone to shout at us or put us in entrepreneur detention fo...

Personal growth just needs a push

March 5, 2011

I am amazed at how little effort people need to get out of a slump that is often so huge they will dwell in it for years. Once the correct way of motivation and leverage is identified, change happens almost before your very eyes. I, a a coach, have the awesome experience of seeing change happen on a weekly basis with the people I work with. Either individually or in groups, to see the sparkle return to people's eyes and then translate into action and enthusiasm.
What a privilege it is to be an...

What can't be found on Google?

February 28, 2011

A few days ago I ran an survey on Facebook asking the question: What cannot be found using Google. The answers were very interesting, here are some of them:

Forgiveness
My mind
Love
My car keys
Time

Some profound statements but so true. We have become accustomed to just hitting the Ctrl F key to find something that we are too busy or lazy to find ourselves. I must search for up to 20 different things on my system each day. How has this habit taken away the ability to stop think and find things for...

Who is Bruce Wade?

Born in Zambia, educated in Jozi, then spent the next 15 years unlearning all the stuff they forced on us. Did my time in the corporate and NGO worlds. Now living in Cape Town, I have found freedom in self employment, entrepreneurship and innovation.

I am a free thinker creative with a passion for how the world fits together mathematically. I am incompetent in more ways than I am competent but willing to learn new concepts each day.

I love talking to people about new ideas, strategy and world domination. I have the ideal life in mind but may never get there, but am keen to give it my best shot.

I dislike entitlement, power, lies and covert marketing. These things and those people who think they have a right to push in front of me in traffic make me sick and hacked off.

I own and run the Entrepreneur Incubator and Academy. It is my passion to assist Entrepreneurs with the development of their businesses from initial ideas to enormous enterprises. Together with our team of staff and associates we push the envelope on innovation, convenience and cooperation.

I am keen to meet, chat and share ideas on solution based technology, new ideas to move the world forward and ways to build up individuals.
