Hi all and welcome to www.grantvanzyl.com. This is where you will improve your financial literacy. I will be translating the difficult terminology of economics and complex jargon surrounding it, into something that is as easy to read as the daily newspaper. It’s almost like the ABC’s of the alphabet, once you have the foundation of anything, you can understand it much better.What you want is a coach that takes an active interest in your financial life, not just a planner that helps you once and then disappears. I can be that coach for you.After having many years of experience (started in 2002) in the financial sector and being a large shareholder in the successful financial firm, HvZ Financial Consultants, and having a postgraduate diploma in Financial Planning (and also NQF 4-6 and Cum Laude in Wealth Management), I assure you I have learnt many tricks along the way (and I am still learning more), that I am going to share with you all. However I am not admitting to have all of the answers, so whatever I'm not sure about, we can learn together.Do you want to broaden your mind to business?Then the interviews that I do with top South African business men and women will be perfect for you! You can get a deep insight into what makes them tick and what turns them off.At the end of the day, we can build our community into a thriving haven. The better we all do, the better our community will do and the more opportunities there will be for us all.So on this blog, you will be given as much relevant information as possible and challenged in all of our capacities when it comes to being the next generation of leaders.You can interact on this blog, feel free to email me any questions or post your questions on my articles.If you have any questions on anything to do with the financial sector (investments, loans, debt, health insurance, short term insurance, long term insurance) or entrepreneurship or simply, would like an explanation on certain topics, please feel free to mail me on [email protected] and I will do my best to reply as fast as I can.I am looking forward to the journey and I am excited to see where the adventure takes us.More About GrantGrant van Zyl. www.grantvanzyl.comI am Grant van Zyl, a Certified Financial Planner, with 12 years of experience in the financial industry.
