Russell Simmons, the great entrepreneur and philanthropist a pioneer of influencing hip-hop culture, fashion, finance, television and film, as well as the face of modern philanthropy. Simmons co-founded Def Jam Records in 1980, he helped launch the Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Nas, Jay Z, Ludicris and many more.

Simmons is in South Africa to be a speaker to share some of his business insights for the next destiny forum event hosted by Ndalo media, the event will be exposing the masses to business Strategies tips on how to deal with work challenges, guidance on work objectives and goals and also offers networking with like-minded people.
The second installment of Destiny Forum will be on Friday September 21, at Johannesburg’s Hilton Sandton Hotel and is brought to you in association with M-Net and City Press. Tickets cost R850 (including VAT) per person, which includes cocktail dinner and an after-party with Tumi and The Volume.
This event will be a great opportunity for young people to learn about self-mastery and entrepreneurs, learn how to start their business and it will energise South African business, with the consummate help of the outstanding speaker.

Russell Simmons, the great entrepreneur and philanthropist a pioneer of influencing I think this will be a great highlight for the Destiny Forum to have one of the best entrepreneurs who is the top 25 Most Influential People of the Past 25 Years in USA; this will attract more audiences to come and attend their inaugural the destiny forum because such a key speaker is what the young business women and men want to be influenced.
This is a good idea think that Russell Simmons is coming to South Africa to give tips to business entrepreneurs but the cost price of the tickets is too expensive.
ReplyDeletei agree with you it would be fair to others
Deletewow! this tickets are expensive,bit you know what they say expensive = quality
ReplyDeleteyes pebetse they might be expensive but his tips will be worh it for your career
Deleteokay you said a ticket is R850 not bad for a reputable bussiness man like him. Can you please clarify the directions for me Mam. If possible will met there.
ReplyDeleteit is at the Sandton hilton hotel
Deletehim being here will give us the opportunity to gain something from him, but unfortunately some of us will not be able to attend because the price ticket is not affordable
ReplyDeleteyes i know their expensive but as a Public relation Practitioner it is reasonable because it is not usally that internationally people like Russel accept this offer
DeleteI fully believe that Simmons's coming to South Africa is going to benefit us all as many young stars will gain ways on growing their business. This is the opportunity to spent money knowing that good results will be gained.
ReplyDeleteyes i think such events are for a better cause unlike the fact that beyonce is coming to peorm and she experts a huge amount of money in return without any great learning from the performance
DeleteI believe that there is nothing special with internationa celebrities...why not empower our own people. We always are supporting people from overseas and not our people.
ReplyDeleteyes i think we should support each other as South African and not Support intenatiionals but i think Russel will bring a great deal in giving us the great ideas in improving South African companies unlike someone performing and making money wihout the benefit to us as South African
Deletethats good to hear that his is coming in our country but im complaining with tickets-they're so expensive
ReplyDeletei agree with but is worth it don't you think
DeleteIts always good to have some one from outside to share their ideas and achievements, we could really learn alot from them.
ReplyDeleteyes because as they are developing we might as well learn how to do that in South Africa because we also need to develop.
DeleteThis is a great initiative, and I am certain that young people will learn a lot from this mogul in the entrepreneur industry. Its nice to have such succesful people to give advice to minor, and growing business people...
ReplyDeleteyes it is a great intiatives because this will give young business owners, young and upcoming business student to have the knowledge and learn from russel
DeleteSuch an event, puts our country on the "map". Someone like Rusell Simmons is a brand, and him coming to South Africa shows that we as a country are developing and progressing.
ReplyDeleteyes because people may think we are supporting people from INternational and local but the fact is that they are very well developed so if we learn from them if stand a chance o improve too
Deletethis is great initiatives especially sharing ideas to young once in our home soil which is charaterised by opportunities and freedom in a free market and highly rated competition
ReplyDeletethey say the more we learn the more we improve this is a chance for us to pat take in such events to grow or improve
DeleteYou know they say its better if you hear something from the horses mouth. Rusell is such an insipiring individual who doesnt let anything get in his way.
ReplyDeletethat very true nqwaba because you can even have a clear perspective and ask question and interact with him who knows he might consider hearing you plan to break throuh the business
Deleteit is good that he is coming to south africa maybe people will start taking the music industry ve4ry serious
ReplyDeleteyes if they learn from him they stand a chance to being good publicity and artist
DeleteHe might recieve a poor welcome, meaning less fans during the event because tickets are expensive and we South Africans we sometimes have poor organisers.
ReplyDeleteknow themba i think the organisers are not targeting the righ audience such a seminar you will first target people in the business companies and consider even student
DeleteRussell Simmons is coming to South Africa to give tips to business entrepreneurs but the cost price of the tickets is costy
ReplyDeleteyes but don't think it is worth it for to attend such a seminar
DeleteWow i think it's great for him to come to South Africa as he will inspire most South African to think outside the box and build the future for themselves. I hope most of us do attend as this will benefit us especially those who want to leave a legecy.....
ReplyDeletethis is a great opportunity to make a break through with the help o russell's knowledge and advice will grow to be successfull
