Let’s help you move to the beat of your business

This is the story of Miggs FoReal, a South African young DJ with a heart and soul for his community. 

What did you want to be when you were growing up… a teacher, doctor or maybe a nurse? And were those really your dreams or the collective aspirations of your family? 

Eutrice ‘Miggs FoREAL’ Motsepe, is a prime example of the age-old saying, “It takes a village to raise a child”, where a family prescribes for you what you ought to become in life by looking at the prospects of certain career paths that have a good reputation.  

While you take the path less travelled…Sinawe

For Miggs FoREAL; as he is fondly known by his fans when he is on the decks... music has always coursed through his veins and from a young age, he knew his rhythm would ultimately land him in the business of music. Yet, without a clear plan as to how that vision would manifest, he pressed on in hopes of getting the business tools he would need to become a beacon in the industry. 

Born, bred and raised in Ga-Rankuwa, Pretoria, popularly known as eMahlanyeni, he curved his path and never lost sight of his dream of being a house music sensation. And, not only that, but he also had a deeply seeded desire to teach others how to be DJ's as well – much of which, has fuelled his entrepreneurial ambitions. 

Measure twice, Cut once...The birth of a business empire: FoREAL House Music Academy

Miggs FoREAL’s business is a cross between a music equipment outlet and a house music academy with a passion to teach others how to become formidable house DJs. In his own words, “From a young age, music was always in my system. I never spent a lot of time outside playing like other children, I was always indoors playing music”. As a token of appreciation and a means of giving back to his community for endlessly supporting him throughout his house music career, he founded his own business to allow other aspirant music lovers to learn the business and art of DJing. 

We now walk this journey with him to ensure that as he spins the tracks on the decks, his business thrives and accepts payments wherever, whenever. 

Business needs funds to thrive, where would he get the cash from?  

With the consistency and drive he poured into his business, Miggs FoREAL struggled to build his empire and applying for mainstream funding without collateral was his biggest challenge. Notwithstanding the safety guarantee, he needed to put in place when transacting with his valued clients and students. He purchased a VodaPay Kwika Card Machine at just R799 once off to accept quick, safe and seamless transactions even during loadshedding and best of all, after 4 months of trading making at least R3000 a month, he would be pre-approved for business funding of up to R1.5 million to expand his business.  

Where is he now? 

Miggs is thriving and realising his dreams, he has the right support and financial tools in place to allow him the freedom to dream limitlessly.  

His, is not an isolated story, it can be your reality too.
