Marcus Thompson
Small Business Owner
8 Month JourneyMarcus was drowning in R85,000 of credit card debt while his small carpentry business struggled with inconsistent cash flow. He'd never learned proper money management and felt overwhelmed by financial jargon. Every month felt like a battle just to keep the lights on, and he had zero savings for emergencies or business growth.
Starting with our debt elimination framework, Marcus learned to track every rand coming in and going out. He discovered budgeting techniques specifically designed for variable income and started applying the debt snowball method. The breakthrough came when he understood how to separate personal and business finances, then began building multiple income streams using skills he already had.
By December 2024, Marcus had eliminated R65,000 of his debt and built a R12,000 emergency fund. His business now generates consistent monthly revenue, and he's reinvesting profits strategically. He recently started his first investment account and feels confident about financial decisions that once seemed impossible to make.
