HelpING Entrepreneurs

Start and Grow Their Dream Businesses

Kevin Purves, along with his dedicated, hand-picked team, has been guiding small business owners and entrepreneurs to success since 2018.

Through his Training Academy and one-on-one personal coaching and consulting, Kevin has assisted hundreds of entrepreneurs to start, build, and FutureProof their businesses.

The Sky's The Limit

Let Kevin FutureProof your business Dreams

Kevin has been involved in entrepreneurial activities his entire working life, initially as ‘sideline’ ventures, while spending a large chunk of his career in the corporate world instead of following his passion.

In addition to his ambitions of growing his own businesses, he always dreamed of working with business owners and entrepreneurs to help them with their own companies.

Finally, in 2018, after 28 years of diverse and educational experience working for somebody else, but he did it …
He transitioned full-time into the world of helping Entrepreneurs to help themselves.
 

Take charge of your own destiny

Kevin's Background

After qualifying as a mechanical engineer in South Africa in 1990, he started his working career in the construction industry. He spent 5 years in this industry and learned a great deal during this time, but it wasn’t a perfect fit for him.

He then changed focus away from engineering and moving into supply-chain and logistics management in the manufacturing industry.
 
After 23 years in this environment, initially as a Distribution Manager, then Logistics Director, then Chief Operating Officer, and ultimately as Chief Executive, he left the corporate world in 2018 . . .
 
and FutureProof Academy was born.
 
In addition to his engineering qualification and his 28 years of business exposure, he acquired significant coaching and tutoring experience that comes from dealing with the personal problems of over 1,000 employees from unskilled labourers to directors; as well as the introspective knowledge that comes from several failed personal relationships.
 
He is also busy completing his BCom in Industrial & Organisational Psychology.
 
Kevin’s view on FutureProof: 

“I can think of no better pursuit for me than to share my knowledge and experience in these fields in an effort to help other entrepreneurs reach their dreams”

Networking 101: Mastering Networking as an Aspiring Entrepreneur

Now, if you were a professional athlete like a golfer, swimmer, runner, gymnast, or soccer player, then I wouldn’t be writing this.

After all, you wouldn’t need convincing that coaching is a necessary and valuable tool. As an athlete, you would already know this, and would probably have at least one coach involved in your career.

So why is it that we, as small business owners and entrepreneurs, feel that we can walk this journey alone?

Do You Read Enough?

A recent survey in America found that more than 3 out of 10 adults stated they wanted to read more. It also found that book reading is second only to exercise as the most desired activity.

Pretty surprising?

If this statistic includes you, then opening a book may have become something to do when you’re not busy with something else. And if you read my article last week, you’ll know that busyness is a bad habit that most of us are guilty of. In other words, we always seem to be “too busy” already.

Why You Secretly Resist Work/Life Balance

Many of us are not too busy because our time management is poor. It is because we are addicted to being busy. Like all addicts, we lament the impact on our performance and well-being. But the “high” we get from being busy makes it easy to justify to ourselves.

Why is this “too busy addiction” so powerful? Let’s investigate . . .
