In episode 32, we talk to Zakhele Myeza about his journey in real estate.
Zakhele was introduced to real estate at a young age by his mom who was a real estate agent. He fell in love with the way sellers described their properties and started understanding what people were looking for in property.
In today's episode we talk to Zamantungwa Khumalo, a full time property investor who started building her property portfolio at the age of 27, from a hospital bed (yep!).
"Caroline Myss, bestselling author of Anatomy of the Spirit, asserts that each of us has a financial prostitute; we’re all capable of selling our minds, bodies and/or talents for financial gain.
Most people balk at this idea, but if you’re in a job you hate and you’re only in it for the pay cheque, then you’re selling your mind or talent for money.
If you’re in a loveless marriage or a relationship for financial security, then you have a price.
If you’re an artist doing creative work you hate, you’re selling out your talent, and that pay cheque is your price.
What keeps this financial prostitute alive? Our need to survive or just plain survival instinct."
In episode 30, we decided to do something different - we wanted to talk about the personal finance and property and why the Property Magicians Podcast exists and is relevant.
Our guest for this episode is Vangile Makwakwa, the host of the podcast.
In today's podcast we talk to Obakeng Gaitate, a chartered accountant who focuses on property tax.
Obakeng has written 12 books and as he says: he has paid for his school fees in the property market by making and losing millions in property.
One of the things I’ve had to stop myself from doing is mothering my mother as both of us get older.
I’ve had to sit with my guilt about how my life is evolving and this feeling that I need to pay my mother back for all the sacrifices she made so I live this life.
My mother never asked me to pay her back.
And part of me knows that this wouldn't be giving, it would be paying my mother back.
Sometimes, we take on financial responsibility no one asked us to take on.
We take it on ourselves and usually it's linked to our mothers and it's tied to the mother wound.
We can sometimes find ourselves feeling guilty the more successful we get and we don't know how to handle that guilt, so we give financially to our mothers.
We give financially, not because we want to, but because we feel guilty because we feel like we owe our mothers.
