Motivational letter To whom it may concern Good day sir/madam I trust that my letter finds you well and in good spirit, motivated by, the fact that you are honoured with the task of being introduced to an enthusiastic group of individuals. However, it’s worth mentioning that, my letter serves as additional motivation on the topic of “entrepreneurship” furthermore, my involvement, my ambition, my goals and my relationship with the topic. Firstly, I would like to commence by introducing myself as a suitable candidate whose popularly known as Shannon Sivuyiso Sekatane, I am a 23 year old African male, who hails from the small town of Riverlea in Johannesburg Gauteng ‘The city of Gold. Not so surprising that this the place where a younger self, begins his journey pursuing entrepreneurship together with, the introduction to my entrepreneurial learning process, leading to the fulfilment of my personal achievements and knowledge regarding the topic. Introductory to my entrepreneurial process is the pursuit of ‘entrepreneurship as a topic and the knowledge/wisdom behind it. In reality, the topic was first introduced to me in class at primary school and I was instantly intrigued by the contents of the topic and its implications. In contrast, my interest in the topic led me into more confusion and disbelief, this largely motivated by a young boy’s naïve dreams and my expectations of what I thought ‘entrepreneurship is. Hence, marks the start of my entrepreneurial learning process which, I admit is an ongoing life-long learning process with constant shifts, principles, rules and methods of playing the game. For instance, the major E-commerce shift plus the Internet which gave birth to a whole new market together with an online community which was previously non-existent, taught me the importance of innovation, adaptability and keeping techno-savvy. Following this, my pursuit for knowledge on the topic ‘entrepreneurship is further qualified by the obtainment of my B.A degree in marketing on the year 2019, the significance of this time period is marked by the relationships, lessons, projects, together with all the skills I’ve been able to build and acquire over the 4 year term. Equally important, is my personal relationship with the subject “leadership” inclusive of the closely related programs to the subject during my term at varsity, for instance, my inclusion in the Golden Key Honour society and the Spirit of the Youth Program hosted by GIBBS together with my position as tutor for certain modules, influential to my exposure on the subject of leadership. However, my exposure further allows me to cultivate my skills, knowledge and experience on the subject of leadership, which I believe closely correlates to the topic of ‘entrepreneurship. Summing up, I strongly believe that it’s worth emphasizing the fact that, I am a self-driven individual guided by my objective goals, endeavours plus boosted by the idea of Self-Fulfilment. Simply meaning that, aside of my Entrepreneurial obligations I believe that as a human being there are more dimensions or aspects which help fulfil our lively desires and maintain the beauties that make us human, this is best exemplified with living a productive and healthy lifestyle outside of the office/(9/5)or hustle. Derived from, my personal life experiences, life lessons, book knowledge together with my mentors is the idea of “Balance” and the notion of maintaining this “balance” for a more fulfilled life and the livelihood of intimate relationships (e.g. family &friends). Thus maintaining this balance is essential in facilitating my growth in all aspects, plus, in ensuring sufficient drive &my capability in executing the number of set objectives efficiently. In conclusion, I would like to reassure my audience of my relentless capabilities whenever “doing whatever it takes” for the end-goal and achieving the best desired outcome. With that said, most desired outcome in this instance would be in the form of relevant business-growth assistance, incubation and mentorship from the particular platform and/or organisation recipient to this sincerely written text. Kindest regards Shannon Sekatane
