Ex-pastor turns evangelist of wealth

Desire to do more than pray for poor drives him to create wealth foundation.

For 15 years until 2002, he worked as a pastor in south Africa but could do nothing more than pray for them.

It was only in 2002 that Mr Carstens, now 48, realised he could do more if he became a successful investor and created a wealth foundation.

He started reading feverishly on finance. He did well with property investments when South African had a real estate boom between 2002 and 2006

The key to your success in wealth creation lies with the knowledge and skills in investment. Skills can be improved over time through real-life practical hands-on experiences in investing through market cycles. Learning to live with the bulls and bears as it is too difficult to avoid them.

Start reading feverishly in finance and investment if you haven't really get going.
