Special Dedication

This book is dedicated not only to dreamers who live in their own dreamworld but also to dreamers who speak life to their dreams and take action to make their dreams a reality.

Dream it.

Do it.

Be it.

Anyone who is able to answer the following question is very close to defining success their own way:

If we all have the same twenty-four hours in a day, what’s stopping you from achieving your own greatness when others do it in that same twenty-four hours?

Foreword

Letshego Tau is a fellow traveler. I have the privilege of being a Life Coach to this amazing young man. A self starter and a pioneer who dared to rise above the challenges and limitations of his environment. Rising above his environment was not enough. He wrote a book so others can be inspired to rise too. He is proof that; Your background is not a disadvantage .…..your background is the necessary pressure cooker to prepare you for your purpose. He continues to defy the odds and still he rises. This is his second book. I believe it’s the second of many. In our coaching sessions I continue to challenge him to stretch out of his comfort zone. The more I push the more he seems to rid to the occasion. As you read his books, pause for a moment and ask yourself this question. What would become possible if I were to rise above my fears?

This book was Letshego’s answer to that question. What’s yours? May you be inspired not only by the content but by the background of this amazing young author.

Acknowledgements

To God Almighty, the master behind all arts, the provider of life, and the one who prepares and guides us to fulfil our purposes. Without you, Father, we are shapeless and have no direction at all.

Thank you, Lord, for such a creation called life. Through this valuable and indispensable asset called the existence of humankind, I have learned that it’s either we make a decision to influence life or we let life happen to us. To God be the glory.

I will always have a special thank you to the man whom God chose to serve him, who has shaped my unique work of art to become a reality, my pastor, Ditaba Tabane, from New Life Bible Church (previously known as New Life Church) in Bloemfontein, South Africa. You are the best father I’ve ever met. Your book might not have reached the shelves yet, but I know that its last chapter has been written and it’s a powerful book awaited by the world to change the lives of many people. I can’t wait to read it.

To each and every one of you (loyal fans) who bought a copy of my first book, titled From Humble Beginnings to Realizing a Dream, published in 2015, thank you so much for your loyal support. My eyes are filled with tears when I have to describe my gratitude to you for believing in this life-changing book of all time.

You made me realize that you value my sleepless moments when I couldn’t think of anything else but crafting an idea into a reality. You received it well with so much anticipation and a strong belief that it was a well-done product. Only through you, my dream was realized. Thank you so much for your support. Without you, it wouldn’t have sold so many copies. You have shown me the true sense of believing in a dream.

To all media platforms that opened their doors for me when I was running everywhere to market the first copy of my book after it was published. You opened wide your doors for me, and for that reason, I have to thank you one by one. Thank you, News24, the powerhouse media in South Africa, for covering my story. Thank you, Express Newspaper (Bloemfontein, South Africa), for publishing my article on one of the most read newspapers in the province (Free State). Thank you, Centlec SOC Ltd (Bloemfontein, South Africa). You are not just an employer and power supplier in the Free State province, but you also create platforms for your own people beyond their expectations. Publishing my article on your first newsletter will always be a special moment I will forever cherish. Thank you, New Age newspaper (South Africa), for setting aside a space for me on your national-coverage page. The whole of South Africa now recognizes and respects me, and most confessed to me that
