Been on hold with BMW South Africa roadside assistance for almost 6 min. You only realise how long of a wait that is when you are alone and need help. Surely this wait time at 9am in the middle of the week can’t be this long. 🫠

Finding the right mentor is like finding the right therapist. It’s damn near impossible. So I built a board of advisors. Here’s some harsh truth you need to hear when it comes to mentorship #ownviews #marketing linkedin.com/posts/deshnieg…
