We question Simon Ellis, CEO of SmartWage.
Put yourself in the other person’s shoes. Make sure you understand the other person’s real motivations.I began my career at Deloitte in London. But the first time I made some money was when I started a tutoring business in my second year at Stellenbosch University. I gave first-year students lessons in accounting and theory of interest . The amount was very small. Unfortunately I didn’t spend it on anything interesting — probably on buying more milk and Milo, my two favourite things.
Was there ever a point at which you wanted to trade it all in for a different career? And, if so, what would that career be? I was an accountant before this. I liked it, but I didn’t love it. Now I’m trying to become a successful entrepreneur. I love what I do and feel energised by the problems we’re solving every day. There is a small part of me that wishes I could have been a talented musician, but unfortunately I’m not sure I’m gifted enough. Stamp out corruption and double down on education. Take the approach Singapore did in the 1970s.
