Registered my own company in August 2016 in the aim of providing clients with commercial cellphone applications and went into partnership with Harri Paloheimo who heads Coreorient with a cellphone app called Piggy Baggy which is a crowd sourced delivery app which we rebranded as Swooosh for the South African market but due to lack of resources we put the project on hold. I used my time to focus on my software development skillset through online qualifications and not pursuing commercial activities further.

My responsibilities include providing protection for my clients wealth in the event of loss of income. I can insure your income should you become disabled or diagnosed with a dread disease for the rest of your life so you have piece of mind that you will be earning your income regardless of whether you can or cannot work. I am responsible for making sure that you can provide a legacy for your family in the event that you die and you are no longer there to provide the lifestyle your family deserves. I am further responsible to ensure that medical aid and GAP cover are in place to ensure that medical needs are always provided for for you and your family.My responsibilities are also to create wealth for clients. I help clients save and invest for the short term, for example, a trip over seas at year end or a deposit for a car or house in the next 3 years by using collective investment instruments such as Unit Trusts which are flexible and liquid and cheap to set up with growth forecasts that are conservative to aggressive based on the time horizon and goal in mind.My responsibilities is also to grow clients wealth in the medium term, 5 years and longer through instruments such as endowments which are "forced saving". As South Africa is a country that doesn't have a savings culture, it is important for me to help people see the need for saving in a few years time and each year, increasing their endowments as the payouts after maturity will equate to a 13th cheque that can be used to pay off a house or child's school fees for the year. Lastly, my biggest responsibility is to help people reach their retirement goals. This is the single most important,aspect of my job, helping people see the importance of starting their retirement provisions as soon as possible.
