Mogen NaidooIndependent Contractor
Nov. 2017Johannesburg Area, South AfricaI am an Entrepreneur (and hopefully Influencer) on a spiritual journey. My life focus is to: do good, be good and help others. This while having a balance of spiritual, emotional, mental, physical and financial well being. Each and everyone of us must be liberated with knowledge. To gain this knowledge we need to ensure that our overall wellness is maintained by having an effective balance in life so that it is easier to learn. For me, while my spiritual journey is of most importance in attaining knowledge for self and of self, much of maintaining a life balance depends on how all these components influence each other and are integrated.
Taking the knowledge and experience I have attained from my life passions i.e. working in corporate, starting my own businesses, working with the latest technologies, building a global network of contacts, being an accomplished martial artist (and fitness trainer) and studying seeking spiritual enlightenment - I believe that I am able to help those in need of maintaining that balance of spiritual, emotional, mental, physical and financial well being.
My talks aim to be professional and thought-provoking in order to assist with providing the best advice to make informed decisions for your business and financial well being. Having been in recovery has led me to seeking spiritual enlightenment. Using this knowledge I am able to provide motivational talks on how to manage the emotional component for everyday life.
Lastly, I am an accomplished martial artist with 25 years of experience holding black belts in three different karate styles: Shotokan, Budoshin and Kyokushin with key focus on Kyokushin, full contact knock-down fighting. My aim for this is to tackle the mental and phsycial aspects of your life. If you feel that one or many components in attaining your life balance is out of sync, not only for yourself but for your business or if you feel like you just need to chat, give me a shout.
