CEO Today - June 2022

THE CEO INTERVIEW www.ceotodaymagazine.com 14 What does a typical day look like for Dr Daniel Moses? I think over the years, one thing I did actually struggle with was how to really structure myself. How I have learned to structure myself is by getting into a very serious morning routine. So normally, when I get out of bed in the morning, I say my prayers to God, for giving me another opportunity to live my life to wake up to see my lovely wife and my kids. After I will just go downstairs, have a sit down by the dining table, whilst I have a glass of water. I will then get a 5k run in and by the time I’m done, what I used to do until recently was to get my daughter ready for school and drop her off there. As of April however, when my wife quit her 9-5 job after a 25-year career she now does the morning school drop-offs, I get some extra time to listen to a podcast, watch a motivational video on YouTube, or anything else that will feed my mind. I tend to also map out the five major tasks to complete for the day and plan my delegation to my team. So this is how I normally start my busy day. Once in a while, every other three months, I usually will have a property project ongoing. Most of my projects are very local to where I live. So normally I would visit my sites three times a week as well. A typical day in my life is usually very hectic but I think at the moment I’m trying to get into speaking with investors almost every single day and doing sales calls every other day. But for now, it’s basically still me on the come up where I’m really trying to structure myself to have a more productive day. What do you think is the biggest reason for your success? I think the biggest reason for my success is my family. I’m one of the youngest in my family (brothers and sisters) and in the past few years a lot of them look up to me, even the older ones. I’ve also got my amazing son and daughter and of course, my wife who is the greatest human I’ve ever come across. People say that charity begins at home, right? If you’re not able to inspire those that are very close to you, then who are you going to inspire outside? Success is something I’m very passionate about and I’m so glad that I can show my family that if I can achieve it, they can achieve it too. Why do you think people fail? Why do you think people fail? I think the reason why people fail in life is a lack of purpose. Purpose has always been very important to me. I’ve been on an entrepreneurial journey for over 17 years now. For the very first 12 years, I did not “ My biggest regret in business was not knowing that successful people buy themselves a seat on the table. And it took me a long, long, long time to discover that successful people don’t wait to become successful. They make success happen. “
