Road to success EP81!
Austin's Road To Success:
Name: Austin Mpho Malema
Occupation: "I am a Film Editor, Video Editor and Photographer."
Goals: "Man I have many goals, my son was born recently and one of my main goals is to raise him in the right way and that he learns to turn his hobbies into a job. I also want to own my own post production company where we can cater to anyone's post production needs."
What is success? "My definition of success is when one has a family around them who support them in what they do, when you walk into a room and people who do not know you personally acknowledge your work (your work is more important than you). For me success is defined by the work one has put out and the recognition the work gets."
What success have you achieved? "My biggest success was the birth of my son, look he is a blessing to me. After varsity in 2013 the film I worked on was nominated to represent South Africa at the student Oscars, we made it to the top 9. We won the Golden Horn (SAFTA) for best student film. I got featured on the cape Argus for my photography. That is some of the success I have achieved."
What success do you want to achieve? "I still am to open my post production company as I still love working in post production. I still want to sell some of my photos to a few private buyers. If I can have a spread on a lifestyle magazine or newspaper based on my work and how far it has come then I am successful. The last one would be making the riches. Money makes the world go round and without it how can I buy that crib somewhere in the north."
All the best on your road to success Austin...

Tessa's Road To Success:
Name: Tessa Gabriel
Occupation: "Going to School and starting to be a Social Influencer."
Goals: "I would really like to graduate. The main goal is to just be proud of myself, at the end of time that's the only thing that really matters. You could run a huge multinational business and people will say you're successful. I personally think that everyone who is happy with their life is successful. Acceptance is a huge part of success."
What is success? "Success is not only about money. Your goal could be money and I would totally understand that. But I will tell you one thing if you only focus on money you're not going to succeed. You need to make contacts (networking) and not only be about the business life, being informal now and then is not bad at all. The informal part of you will make people trust you more and just make them confident with whom they are working."
What success have you achieved? "I reached 14k followers on Instagram and have worked with a lot of companies including designing my own bikini and photo cases."
What success do you want to achieve? "I would like to start my own business but since I'm still not considered as an adult (I'm 16 years old) I can't. I'm planning on starting something for myself as soon as possible and it may or may not succeed in the end but I will at least have a lot of experience. To become really successful you need to fail sometimes. Giving up is not something I support at all."

Road to success EP79!
Twala's Road To Success:
Name: Twala Tawela Ng'ambi
Occupation: "Radio host on KFM, Model, Founder of 'the house of Twala', Architecture Student, Illustrator, Creative, and more recently 'Natural Hair Blogger' yes I'm a blogger now :) @iamAFROYALTY ."
Goals: "To challenge myself everyday, to challenge and inspire others to be great. I don't have conventional goals, my biggest goal is just to live a life of passion."
What is success? "True success is contribution, knowing that you've made a difference, that you contributed to something greater than yourself."
What success have you achieved? "Success is different for everyone, some may look at me and think, "Wow, she has her own fashion line, she got into commercial radio at 20, was given reigns of one of the biggest shows in the Western Cape at just 22 years old, (all this while still being a full time Architecture Student at UCT) now that's success.". Although I see the value of my achievements I don't measure my success by them. I measure my success in the people who's lives I've impacted, that one person who hears my story and is inspired and motivated to keep going."
What success do you want to achieve? "I'm a dreamer by nature, there is always something else I'd like to learn or try."
