What if the job that gives you security is also keeping you stuck? For Talifhani Banks, staying in corporate while knowing he could do more became harder than leaving. The founder and Group CEO of AnalyticsX joins me on The Shift for an honest conversation about the fear that follows you into business, and who you have to become to move through it. We get into: Leaving a comfortable career when you know you want to build more. How what you believe about yourself shows up in the fees you charge. Holding onto faith when the business gets difficult, And many other topics. If you’re a professional or business owner trying to work out your next move, there’s plenty here to think about. 🎥 BUILD YOUR BRAND WITH MEEK MEDIA https://www.meekmedia.co.za 🎁 GET THE FREE GEAR GUIDE TO ACCESS A LIST OF ALL OUR EQUIPMENT https://meek-media.kit.com/7c9a0f339c CONNECT WITH KEVIN LinkedIn:   / kevinbotes   CONNECT WITH TALIFHANI LinkedIn:   / talifhani-banks-199279ab   AnalyticsX: https://www.analyticsxhq.com/about CONNECT WITH TALIFHANI LinkedIn:   / talifhani-banks-199279ab   AnalyticsX: https://www.analyticsxhq.com/about CHAPTERS 00:00 Imposter syndrome and the fear of bigger rooms 00:29 Welcome to The Shift with Talifhani Banks 01:29 Why accountants can become risk averse 07:16 My free podcast and video gear list 07:45 The reality of going full time in business 09:07 Leaving corporate and running out of money 12:38 Building an analytics company 13:19 Undercharging and learning to value your work 18:06 From client projects to building your own product 20:41 Spaza Eats and the township data opportunity 23:26 The shift towards fintech and MYXPAY 27:30 Why mining became part of the business 31:32 Becoming a capital allocator 33:32 When the founder becomes the bottleneck 36:15 Waiting for the right time and acting on faith 38:08 The lows behind the success story 41:05 Faith and financial forecasts 43:33 Podcast production with Meek Media 44:03 Continuing the conversation on faith and forecasting 46:05 Wealth and learning to serve 53:07 Different perspectives on seeking the kingdom 57:41 Combining your skills to build differently 1:00:45 Community impact and multiplying resources 1:04:26 When is enough enough? 1:09:27 Insecurity and overcoming imposter syndrome 1:12:43 Finding business ideas in painful experiences 1:14:53 A closing thought on gifts, faith and service What is one move you know you need to make, but keep putting off?
