Dr. Richard Nel: Founder of Wealth Report Magazine

As a self-made success in the finance industry, Dr. Richard Nel hopes his story of triumph will encourage others to become independently prosperous in their own ways. In 2008, he started Wealth Report Magazine, a publication in South Africa that shares stories of business success to inspire others.

Dr. Richard Nel appointed Claudia Henkel as the CEO of the publication. As former Miss South Africa, Henkel exemplifies the strength and motivation it takes to rise to the top. The launch of the magazine came at a time that Dr. Richard Nel saw as strategically perfect. When money markets are afflicted with uncertainty and the word “recession” echoes through stock exchanges, people tend to persist in their dreams of owning the luxury sports sedan or that big house on the cul de sac, or that posh vacation yachting in the Maldives. These are the very things that drive people to success and to the overall pushing of potential among the human race.  And as a successful businessman himself, Dr. Richard Nel sees it as his civil duty to keep that dream alive, so that every day people will try to be more productive in their capacities.

Dr. Richard Nel believes it is imperative to the building of great civilizations that people continue to pursue their aspirations with unwavering determination. Without a particular goal or token of achievement to work towards, it is easy for people to lose their way and eventually sacrifice their maximum potential. Dr. Richard Nel says that we need to hold on to that potential, if not for yourself then for everyone else.
