Dr Lourens Bosman, ’n baie senior predikant in die NG Kerk en ten nouste betrokke by strategiese beplanning, sê onlangs jy kan nie ’n belangrike aspek soos die visie van ’n organisasie een keer met die lede van die organisasie deel en dink dit is genoeg nie – jy kan die herhaling van daardie boodskap met 10 vermenigvuldig voordat dit behoorlik gehoor en ingeneem word.

In ʼn wêreld waar welvaartskepping dikwels jare van opoffering en oordeelkundige beplanning verg, is die verbasend hoe min Suid-Afrikaners moeite doen om te beplan vir die dag wanneer hulle nie meer daar is nie. ʼn Onlangse studie het getoon dat meer as 70% van Suid-Afrikaners nie ʼn geldige testament het nie. Boedelbeplanning is nie meer net vir die superrykes bedoel nie – dis ʼn noodsaaklike strategie vir middel- tot hoë-inkomsteverdieners wat hul nalatenskap wil beskerm en vir toekomstige geslagte voorsiening wil maak.

In a world where wealth is often built through years of sacrifice and careful planning, it’s surprising how few South Africans take the time to plan what happens after they’re gone. A recent study revealed that over 70% of South Africans don’t have a valid will in place. Estate planning is no longer just for the ultra-wealthy — it’s an essential strategy for middle to high-income earners who want to protect their legacy and support their families for generations to come.

A few years ago, I had the pleasure of embarking on the Perlemoen Trail at Pearly Beach, a stunning four-day hike in the Western Cape. The experience was nothing short of magical. It was a perfect blend of learning and exercise, showing me that even the toughest trails can be enjoyable with the right mindset and support. This adventure taught me valuable lessons that are incredibly relevant to navigating market turmoil with clarity and confidence.

ʼn Paar jaar gelede het ek die plesier gehad om die pragtige Perlemoen-staproete oor vier dae in die omgewing van Pearly Beach in die Wes-Kaap aan te pak. Dit was ʼn wonderlike ervaring – die perfekte kombinasie van lesse en oefening wat my gewys het dat ʼn mens met die regte ingesteldheid en ondersteuning selfs die taaiste staproetes kan geniet. Hierdie avontuur het my waardevolle lesse geleer wat ongelooflik relevant is om die warboel in die markte met duidelikheid en doelgerigtheid te navigeer.
