We had the good fortune of connecting with Nikola Botha and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nikola, what is the most important factor behind your success?
O, this is an interesting one, and I think there are so many factors that play a role in ones success and it is not always one thing that gets one there, but the small, seemingly insignificant things that we do consistently that show results. The things that are easy to do, but also easy not to do, but over time led to the success that you are looking for. So I’ll have to say consistency is key! And the one thing that has led to our success. And then also, AUTHENTICITY. It is so so important! And being your true self and speaking form a place of realness is the best you can offer! People don’t buy a product, they buy YOU! If you can share who you are with true conviction and passion, you will attract your ideal audience and people will start to know, like, love and trust you and and this way build a beautiful authentic audience. It has been our biggest lesson and passion to be our authentic selves every day!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Kelly, my partner, we have been together for 9 years, and run our business together. We used to be teachers in Asia, and felt stuck in our lives, we desperately wanted to do more and live a life of true freedom and abundance! We packed up everything we owned, moved to Cape Town, South Africa and started our entrepreneurial journey. We did some vegan markets, I started health coaching and Kelly taught online. We had a bit more freedom, but soon realized we were working ourselves to the bone, trading time for money and still not having the financial freedom we had been looking for.

We decided to do something different, start leveraging our time on social media, working with high profit commissions and utilizing tools and systems to automate our business and create the freedom and finances we had been looking for. We now support people all over the world do the same!

It has been an incredible journey of ups and down and learning curves, and no it is not always easy, but it is worth it for sure! I always think what if we didn’t start, what if we didn’t try, the thought of being where we used to be scares me way more than going through the journey and learning along the way.

We overcome our challenges by focusing on our WHY, eye on the prize of the beautiful dream life of abundance that we wanted to create!

The lesson we have learnt is that your are truly capable of doing anything you put your mind too. Id you can hold it in your head you can hold it in your hand! Be clear on what you want, and be willing to do what it takes to get there!

What do we want the world to know about us and our story? That abundance is your birthright! It gets to be easy to live the life you dream of! You are worth it and once you start living life as your true authentic self and take aligned action, magic happens!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
O my word, we just had our dear friend Sara visit us from America this past week! We had the best 5 days! We actually connected through our business 3 years ago and became best friends, and finally got to meet in person this past week! We had so much fun and it felt like we have been besties for ever!

We live in the most beautiful Cape Town, so there is definitely not a lack of things to do! We went to see the penguins in Simons Town, we visited the organic farmers market, climbed Table Mountain, and took the cable car down! It is one of the 7 wonders of the world! We made delicious dinners and sat on our ocean view balcony by candle light until late at night chatting! We took walks to the beach and had sunset on the rocks! We visited Muizenberg, a surfers corner where the waves are good and coffee shops are many!

We stopped in cute towns and admired the great weather we got for late May!

We ate the best vegan ice-cream in the world, we had delicious donuts and we made sure we sipped on the best selection of South African wine and beer

It was a short and sweet trip and it is such a beautiful thing to see our home town through the eyes of a friend and foreigner!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Oo, I’ll have to say that I could not do this without my partner in life and business, Kelly! We have been running our business together these past 3 years and have been together as a couple for 9 years! We have grown so much and have worked together on self development, learning new skills, doing brave things and stepping into our power.

We get inspired by books, especially The Slight Edge, The Magic and Money and the Law of Attraction have made a huge impact on us!
