Samke Mhlongo talks about her new reality show, her debut novel and the one lesson she wishes she had learnt earlier in life.
Samke Mhlongo is a founder and CEO of The Next Chapter Wealth Partners, a consultancy that specialises in corporate training workshops in the fields of personal wealth management. She regularly offers her advice on the radio, features in the new reality showYou’ve just brought out your bookThe book deals with non-financial challenges and barriers to women’s financial empowerment.
Absolutely, and that’s why I didn’t write a finance how-to book. I wanted to write a book that spoke to the 25-year-old me who was living in the lap of luxury, [who had a] beautiful home in Dainfern, a Porsche Boxster, who travelled internationally. You couldn’t tell me anything about the fact that things may not always be this way.
I highlighted the consequences of not taking the right financial steps in the book as a call to action for women to take those steps and seek out the necessary help after identifying the gaps in their ring fence, which is actually an investment term for the invisible structures that a company puts up to protect its most valuable assets and income streams when going through a risky transaction.
The riskier transactions for women in life are marriage and divorce and/or death of a spouse. We know that those events have the biggest negative financial impact on a woman’s life so we need to ring fence ourselves against those negative impacts.
