Ghost Stories #83: Winners vs. missed opportunities in 2025 - and finance tips for entrepreneurs

Duma Mxenge (Head of Business and Market Development at Satrix) joined me right at the start of the year to talk about some of the things we would be looking out for in the markets this year. With the benefit of hindsight, we could now dig into some of our winners, overall surprises and missed opportunities in 2025.

We also took the opportunity to talk about the nuances for entrepreneurs when it comes to personal financial management. Drawing on my own experience, I shared some of the strategies I use for dealing with variable income. As Duma has these conversations with other entrepreneurs on a regular basis, he threw some great insights into the mix about how entrepreneurs tend to think about their wealth creation journeys - and the biggest mistake they make: treating their businesses as their retirement plans.
