Am 46 years old black guy I never owned even R5000 in my bank account.3 years ago I was homeless staying in the streets of Durban.I am working now as a gardener and studying fashion design course part-time.you must never loose hope.Never! Believe in God and yourself you will make it.
WHOEVER THAT'S READING THIS , I PRAY THAT ONE DAY YOU WILL REACH YOUR DREAMS. ALWAYS KNOW THAT THE SECRET OF YOUR FUTURE IS HIDDEN IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DO DAILY WHAT THE UNSUCCESSFUL DO ONLY ON OCCASIONALLY.. *which is investing persistently a little to get more*
I wish my brother was like that, instead all he wants is money instead of figuring out his life so that he can make money to help himself and his kids.
Here’s a man trying to CLEAN UP his stupid life decisions... His story is why William Buffet lives in the same house he paid $60K for so many years ago!
I'm convinced that the big investors and analysts are trying to scare us to keep us poor and ignorant to the market.. because its steady doing good after all the jobless and market crash talks
Sadly, family and friends are the first to turn their backs when you're seeing hard times. It's a stranger that recorded his story and it's a stranger that will pick help him up. Praying for change for Richard.
Kudzai Dube it's not always like that, even people who have degree lose everything.. sometimes universe test us in a different way Some of us never get up, we fall whats matter is how we put yourself back again Dont ever say that statement again you limiting yourself❤❤💫
I would really love a Man like Richard to be my Business Mentor.... This is someone who can teach you what not to do. He has some really important Life Lessons he can teach , that we can all learn from.
I got emotional here. Even family shuns a person when there is no money. This is just so sad. Thanks for being open minded Nicolette and lending Richard your ear.
Anyone in the business development field, you need to hire this man cause he has a lot of knowledge to give to all entrepreneurs, don't be intimidated by him hire him and work with him.
@@Lazirus951 I would.When you that low in life all you want is an opportunity to prove and bounce back.I don’t think he will do the same after living on the streets.
@@khulekanimtshali622 I think he certainly deserves opportunity, but just maybe in sales or management to start. Something where if he fails, it doesn't collapse your whole company and negatively affect the lives of hundreds of employees.
'I'd like to rebuild my life. I think I still have enough fire in me to do it again. Hopefully, I'll get to do it again'. Oh my. Thank you, Nicolette for sharing, and for introducing Richard to us. As touching and as sad as it was, I enjoyed listening to him. It's wonderful that, even after all of his setbacks at the age of 53, he doesn't seem to pity himself or play victim. He's taken responsibility for his life. I respect that. He lost the battle, but not the war. With a mighty, enduring spirit like his, Richard will rise again. Please do keep up posted! We'd love to see a happy ending here.
Nicollette, this is gold ... he can be the next Vusi Thembekwayo... with all that experience from financial crises ... he can help others to think of future scenarios just from his story. Well done for sharing this.
This guy sounds like the Job of our time. Anything could happen to anyone. He had the choice to do the wrong things he chose not to. He will bounce back. Stay humble my brother.
His story broke my heart 😭😭. He seems smart & knowledgeable. I do hope he gets another chance and things get better this time around. Thanks for sharing with us
@@kamauwilliamk really sad but he had nothing and had a plan to better himself he can do just... it's never 2 late 😊 n we share a birthday so I know his strength
wow this insert literally put tears in my eyes, at the age of 54 he still says its never too late , not giving up hope , really motivated and its true when days are dark friends are few , really appreciated and thinking he lost his friend at the age of 19 (suicide ), many would have given up but taking this a lesson learned , i always say experience is the best teacher. All The Best Richie Rich
#ThankYou Nicollete.. Richard's story juss indicates how the tide can quickly turn from bowling to begging, if any of us ain't as conservative with our spending & don't prioritize saving for the future
And to add to that he didn’t look into other types of business to bring in the money.. he just kept putting the money into this mineral cash cow...hope he learns
Ooh wow, what an inspiring life story. I'm 53 years old and working hard as an immigrant in the US to build my business. I have tried many businesses in the past and had my rollercoaster and so I understand where Richard has come from. But I encourage Richard, don't lose hope there's light at the end of the tunnel. It can never get worse than that but better. When you hit rock bottom there's always a way back up. Staying flexible to change and focused has help me a lot and like you well said it not may friends are friends indeed and we all learn the hard way when life situations change and especially for the worst. God bless you abundantly 🙏🏼!
Richard's positivity is amazing, I really hope he finds work and manages to turn his life around again. Thank you Nicolette for sharing his story with us.
I lost a third of my investment with an endowment policy...15 years of saving, I cried big tears. I've always been frugal and lived well below my means so I managed to turn things around. I'm now happily retired, I'm no millionaire but my house is paid off, live fairly comfortably with no debt. How about an update on where Richard is now?
Wow thank you Nicolette for bringing us such stories! One see these guys on the street, but forget that they all have their own stories! Wishing Richard all the best! God is a God of second chances...keep the faith
He has my respects. If I was an investor watching this I'd immediately look for him. He's an asset worth investing In... He inspires me that we should never loose hope.. Wishing Richard all the best ... Finally big up to Financial Betty, it takes a genius to spot such talent out of the millions one comes across....
He is gonna be a motivational speaker.. one day wen he is on his feet.. and I hope he will see my comment and reply to it and say I was right back in 2019
@@FinancialBunny Keep doing the good work sister. The Lord is working through you my sister. I get the feeling Richard is in touch with his spiritual side since he still has faith he'll soon get back on his feet so do your part and God will finish off! Stay blessed.
That could be a starting point to get back on his feet too without any financial assistance. He can actually start making money from that as he is well spoken and sounds very experienced. Can talk about financial pitfalls to avoid and then how he got back to his feet once he starts rolling in the millions again
The guy is so positive and confident! I wish he can get another business opportunity because he sound like a proper, experience business man. Please advise him not to only focus on motor or gold business instead other business opportunity because his business acumen is strong! Thanks my sister!
I guess its true that its not all people who are living in the streets who are living there by choice but its because life happened and great doors were closed but it hurts that he has family members who are too heartless to help. I pray he gets back on his feet
I'm amazed at how he kept his emotions when telling his story... this should serve as a lesson to everyone in all aspects of life. friends, family and how quickly things can take a turn. I'm humbled
when you asked Richard a last question and he said, "He has gone old" his respond and facial expression made my heart to melt, I wish for him to bounce back really... sad part is that even his family forgot about him.
Wow, I was born on the 11th of September and truly I appreciate Richard for sharing. My dear Lady keep pushing and thank you for the story.🤗 More blessings...
Wow , I have never watched anything like this without stopping for one single minute!!! This was eye opening, the level of wisdom he has is off the charts!!! He is very engaging , intelligent and have a great heart , God bless you Richard , and oh yes he really deserves a brought platform to share his experiences , please help him with creating his own RUclips channel when he gets a job to buy video needs 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Lesson learnt.. when you go into trading business.. be flexible... if something is not working anymore.. liquidate and try another product.... timing and being flexibile is very important in business!. "Change" is a law of nature! embrace it!
Such a touching story; this is a great conversation. Thank you for letting him tell his story, no distractions, only relevant questions asked. I feel 10 minutes is not enough with this bucket of wisdom. Please consider having him on for more chats, particularly... to his parting point... on the things not to do whilst in the position he used to find himself in because he seemingly did the right things of investing in shares, property, etc but they didn't quite come off well for him in the end.
Great life lesson here, something they won’t teach you in school. Worth more than a coarse in university thank you Richard. Hope you bounce back soon. True entrepreneur 💯
I like what Richard said about sticking to what you know and i am also glad that he has learned from his experience. Sticking to what you know is a good idea but i also recommend that people read a book called " who moved my cheese". To me its a book about realizing change, and adapting to the change.
Love his attitude about the situation. Not depressed. Taking it as it is and making strides forward. Praying he can recover and rebuild himself soon. 🙏
That what l like.He is not making noise about people disappearing.I know for the fact that in my community there are people who will be guilt trippin the people he have helped and try to assassinate their character.That why some societies manage to move on
Richard will bounce back he is good in what he does best..its a test for him he will come back stronger...all the best Richard..he is a good person..GOD bless him.🙏
Richard can still afford a smile despite all the ups and downs . We can tell you are a good and humble person and we hope and pray that somebody somewhere will give you a chance to start all over again. Wish you all the best Richard .
Financial Bunny...THANK YOU for having this wonderful.....practical.....compassionate♥️.....that has brought Richard's plight to light! Yes! Loss can happen so fast...you spin! Richard...I ask... God's richest blessings in your heart.....to carry you forward ..dear one.

Richards story got me really teary . It's a sad but very inspirational story . I hope he finds his feet and make great of himself again . Thank you ausi Nico for sharing this . The whole needs to see this and learn.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
@@FinancialBunny These are the stories we need to hear. I love it. More of those please. If you can ever get an opportunity like this one. I hope he came right ✨
Crying actual tears, this was so hard to watch. So many lessons in this story. It’s terrifying to think that this can happen to anyone of us. Wow 💔💔 I hope something comes up for Richard, he looks like a good guy.
Wow sis that was truly inspirational. My goodness it's amazing the journey people embark on in life. I'm believing for Richard that greater things are yet to come from him. X
Wow, what a story to share. The most painful thing is that Richard is (or was) clearly a smart businessman and knew what he was doing. One would argue that he must have diversified his business portfolio to reduce risk, but this is a man who fell victim to circumstance and legislative rulings beyond his control. Very sad. I pray and hope you find something soon, you come across as a decent and good human being - for that, you deserve to be happy. All the best!!!
This made me so sad! Because of our history in SA, and tbe racism I've endured from SA white people, to be honest when i pass white people on the streets i never felt much empathy for them til watching this video.thank you for the video. And my perspective has changed.His heart, still hopeful. Wow
FLYTAILS MOBILE SALON ....I doubt it. Everyone watches youtube, or reads something on facebook, and then makes these type comments. The reality is that you likely would not buy the book. It always seems that when its time to pull the money out....well, everyone quickly disappears
Watching a little over 4years after the publication of this story, and I am WOW... Thank you for sharing this story with us, it is both enlightening and heartfelt. This man's humility is something we all can learn from.
Rich! You are still a business man. Get up, find someone to help you with putting your story and write your Book! YOU ARE NOT DONE!!! You have learned the lesson and peoole need to here what you have to say! Go get it!!! You are an inspiration!
Sorry guys I downloaded this video, I had to...needed to show my kids that even in the darkest hour...there is a god-given reason to keep on fighting even when it looks like all is lost. God Bless You Mr Richards...I hope that you have been given this opportunity to start over that you so deservingly entitled to ...this really inspired me. Keep your head up! This is the realist message I now know...
Happy belated birthday to Richard. Sometimes God takes to give something bigger back. May this humble soul trust N believe in him to see him through this. ❤️
Strong character despite adversity. His story is a revelation of how money attracts people around you but when you become poor every finger around the street will be pointing at you. That's the society we are living in unfortunately. You will stand again dad. Your stamina and acceptance of the situation has given you courage and power to overcome the guilt. Your story is a testament that friendship is a societal construct anchored by MONEY! I hope your God has given you an opportunity now. Thanks
I like the way you are not bitter at those you helped but have abandoned you. God help you to rise again sir, you have learnt your lesson. God bless you.
Richard my brother. Your life isn't over, you are still alive. We've all hit bumps in road of life. You've not been singled out. You just need to be around the right people.
Man you are so strong. You never thought of committing a suicide, you don't cry when you share your painful story, you don't blame those you once helped when you have money, you admitted and simply say it's the way of life. I have learned something.
Am 46 years old black guy I never owned even R5000 in my bank account.3 years ago I was homeless staying in the streets of Durban.I am working now as a gardener and studying fashion design course part-time.you must never loose hope.Never! Believe in God and yourself you will make it.

That's true.
Anyone who is not investing now is missing a tremendous opportunity.
Yes. It's better to take risk and make sacrifices than to remain poor or settle for less..
lnvestlng in financial_market is what all rich people do. This is not a living but to grow our portfolio.

With that mindset,he'll bounce back real quick and it will be greatest this time.
Trust me....
Richard will bounce back he is good in what he does best..its a test for him he will come back stronger...all the best Richard..he is a good person..GOD bless him.🙏
Richard can still afford a smile despite all the ups and downs . We can tell you are a good and humble person and we hope and pray that somebody somewhere will give you a chance to start all over again. Wish you all the best Richard .
Financial Bunny...THANK YOU for having this wonderful.....practical.....compassionate♥️.....that has brought Richard's plight to light! Yes! Loss can happen so fast...you spin! Richard...I ask... God's richest blessings in your heart.....to carry you forward ..dear one.
“Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real”.
They say “more money 💰 more problems” 🙆🏻♂️ but Richard you are 💪🏻. Guess there is nothing to be grateful for than life itself.

Definitely eye opening and made me see that at times what you put in is not always what you get out.
“When days are dark, friends are few”
well said and articulated
Profound
Powerful. There's fire in you Richard, just like everybody else, keep it burning! 🔥
Richards story got me really teary . It's a sad but very inspirational story . I hope he finds his feet and make great of himself again .
Thank you ausi Nico for sharing this . The whole needs to see this and learn.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
This is what strong-minded people go through, but eventually - they usually find their way back.
Amen
Hallelujah!
"When days are dark friends are few"... This speech made me cry. May God bless you Richard...
When days are dark friends are few is true
God will help you don't worry
Wow. What a story. Thank you very much, Richard shows hope in his face. Positive vibes are needed even when you are down 😍😍😍😍😍
His expression told the story for me. He is sincere
@@FinancialBunny These are the stories we need to hear. I love it. More of those please. If you can ever get an opportunity like this one. I hope he came right ✨
Crying actual tears, this was so hard to watch. So many lessons in this story.
It’s terrifying to think that this can happen to anyone of us. Wow 💔💔 I hope something comes up for Richard, he looks like a good guy.
Wow sis that was truly inspirational. My goodness it's amazing the journey people embark on in life. I'm believing for Richard that greater things are yet to come from him. X
What a nice and humble person,Richardt God bless you,you are still strong,you still gonna make it.
Wow, what a story to share. The most painful thing is that Richard is (or was) clearly a smart businessman and knew what he was doing. One would argue that he must have diversified his business portfolio to reduce risk, but this is a man who fell victim to circumstance and legislative rulings beyond his control. Very sad. I pray and hope you find something soon, you come across as a decent and good human being - for that, you deserve to be happy. All the best!!!
This made me so sad! Because of our history in SA, and tbe racism I've endured from SA white people, to be honest when i pass white people on the streets i never felt much empathy for them til watching this video.thank you for the video. And my perspective has changed.His heart, still hopeful. Wow
I am with you sis. It is an eye opener.
U are a good woman. We all go tru life but ya.
Best interview EVER. Nicolette, you're a Star!!! That's why you were able to reveal Richard. Thank you.
God bless you, Richard. You will get it all back in less than 1 year, brother. Wait and see. Come back and we can celebrate with you, man!
Richard is going to bounce back, he is just positive and smart. I am routing for him
The right people will watch this video and open doors for him. God bless you Richard
"It will be easier because I know what to do, but most importantly I know what not to do" 😭😭😭
This is the truth, im in the same position
True😥
Brother write a book that will be your bounce back couple hundred thousand you can bounce back
i was literally just thinking that and then i see your comment lol
I would buy it
FLYTAILS MOBILE SALON ....I doubt it. Everyone watches youtube, or reads something on facebook, and then makes these type comments. The reality is that you likely would not buy the book. It always seems that when its time to pull the money out....well, everyone quickly disappears
Good idea but he should select a good Publisher. Most in this country offer authors peanuts.
''i still have the fire in me,even though im 53','' lesson learnt it is never too late if the desire still bruns inside of you...
Watching a little over 4years after the publication of this story, and I am WOW... Thank you for sharing this story with us, it is both enlightening and heartfelt. This man's humility is something we all can learn from.
Rich! You are still a business man. Get up, find someone to help you with putting your story and write your Book! YOU ARE NOT DONE!!! You have learned the lesson and peoole need to here what you have to say! Go get it!!! You are an inspiration!
Sorry guys I downloaded this video, I had to...needed to show my kids that even in the darkest hour...there is a god-given reason to keep on fighting even when it looks like all is lost. God Bless You Mr Richards...I hope that you have been given this opportunity to start over that you so deservingly entitled to ...this really inspired me. Keep your head up! This is the realist message I now know...
Me too Martin to share with my businesses school mates. Some powerful macro and micro economics lessons in here
with high income comes a big lifestyle! so true, I see it with so many of my clients!
This is the myth we need to fight.
We need a youtube channel from this guy.his fireee🔥🔥
Idiot will u marry your grandfather answer me
@@col.gaddafimalema2349 wats u talking about my man.wats stressing you financials or family problem
@@amapianomusicentertainment4378 you are pessimist and sadist aren't u vagabond.
Yes. On HOW NOT to run a business.
Great speaker and charming!
The saddest part of his story is not losing the money but losing his friends and family 💔... Shame man God will lift this man up again. 🙏
Happy belated birthday to Richard. Sometimes God takes to give something bigger back. May this humble soul trust N believe in him to see him through this. ❤️
I really hope he finds his feet and gets a second chance. He seems like such a grounded person.
he will
Thanks for sharing Nicolette. the man is definitely an asset and has so much fire in him. How else can we help him get back?
Hope God smiles upon him. Thanks for the great video Nicollette. OMG saw you at Alexander Forbes, I had such a groupie moment.
Strong character despite adversity. His story is a revelation of how money attracts people around you but when you become poor every finger around the street will be pointing at you. That's the society we are living in unfortunately. You will stand again dad. Your stamina and acceptance of the situation has given you courage and power to overcome the guilt. Your story is a testament that friendship is a societal construct anchored by MONEY! I hope your God has given you an opportunity now. Thanks
I like the way you are not bitter at those you helped but have abandoned you. God help you to rise again sir, you have learnt your lesson. God bless you.
Very inspiring Richard thanks for sharing and I believe you’re actually going to bounce back big time man ... I believe
He's so chilled and positive.Imali mase iningi iyabhayizisana..shame poor guy.
Thank you for this, am in the office and all teary... You are so sweet
Richard my brother. Your life isn't over, you are still alive. We've all hit bumps in road of life. You've not been singled out. You just need to be around the right people.
Man you are so strong. You never thought of committing a suicide, you don't cry when you share your painful story, you don't blame those you once helped when you have money, you admitted and simply say it's the way of life. I have learned something.
