IFA Changed My Life

How So Much Can Change In Such Little Time


I found myself dead in the depth of my debts, trying to look at any solution that could give me money. I borrowed, I loaned, I stole from those who I said I loved. I WAS BROKE.

Before my situation took its toll on me, I always thought that the people who came into our homes to take our belongings while we sleep are the criminals, but without realizing I became a criminal of my own circumstance. I did not break into houses no, but I broke into my life and stole my happiness because I thought I had it all but I was slowly losing it all.

My debts were five times more than my salary, my lifestyle was ten times more than my debts, my expectations where three times more than my lifestyle. I knew how dangerous it could be, I knew how awesome it could be. Not knowing that I would have been retrenched not even a year after I was employed… I WAS LEFT WITH NOTHING

I tried to pick myself up, got a watering job at one of my favorite restaurant, and then my car was taken from me. I tried to close off all debts but then I starved. Where were all the friends I spent my money with??? They went AWOL, no one was there help me; the banks were so friendly with me but only before the "how are you doing" part of the conversation, thereafter it was figures figures figures… Not mine though – what I owed them. I was ready to take my life, I could not cope…

On the Tuesday of the 11th of January the year 2011, I was about to take the order of this young gentlemen wearing a black slim-fit suit which I had a similar kind on table 29 - just before I opened my mouth he said to me “I used to work as a waiter but I was not making enough money to fix the holes my friends left in my pockets” and I thought that this man knows me from somewhere, which was strange cause I didn’t know him at all. I said “uuuurrrggghh” he told me to make time and call him, left his business card with a R200 note as a tip – I had not even served him yet!!!

I called him the very same day and he said to me “would you be at all open to making some money outside of what you are currently doing in the food and beverage industry” and then I said “yes sir, I would be delighted.” He took me to an IFA presentation, I remember when I walked in, so many people were there and I was left to stand, after an hour presentation, there I was – I BECAME AN IFA. It has been exactly three years, seven months and three days in IFA and I can confidently say that I take home R658 235.64 per annum, with a changed attitude and deeply humbled.


“I was asked to share this story with everyone because I know how nice it is to have careless fun with your friends and all, but the truth of the matter is, your friends will take you as far as they have failed, as soon as you are down and out they will dessert your. Do not underestimate the power of the IFA Business Opportunity, it saved me from myself and helped build my failures back into dreams and into reality… IFA I COULD, AND NOW YOU CAN”
