Boasting 1.6 million subscribers after less than three years in the market, Capitec Connect has quickly become South Africa's largest MVNO – and it has an ambitious plan for further growth. Dalene Steyn, head of Capitec Connect, tells the TechCentral Show (TCS) that the MVNO – or mobile virtual network operator – market in South Africa is poised for further expansion as banks, retailers and other brands muscle into the mobile business through wholesale partnerships with network operators. According to Steyn, although Capitec Connect is not a loss leader for the bank, the focus for now is building a critical mass of subscribers from Capitec Bank's customer base – Capitec Connect users must be bank clients to sign up for the service. In the interview, Steyn tells TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod about: • Why Capitec Connect recently cut its prices, matching another MVNO, Afrihost AirMobile, as the cheapest MVNO provider in South Africa – spoiler: it's all about building scale; • Why Capitec is pulling ahead in the MVNO market and how big the bank wants to be in mobile – and why it's so important to its business; • Capitec Connect's plans to introduce post-paid contracts later this year and how this aligns with its push into business banking services; • The company's plans for device financing; • Its relationship with Cell C, whose network it uses to provide mobile services to its clients, and why it's pleased with the relationship; and • The unconfirmed market talk that Capitec might buy a strategic equity stake in Cell C.

Send me your feedback! Today, Dalene shares 6 ways to build your faith as a Christian writer. We tend to bypass God – the source of unlimited strength, wisdom, and nourishment – as we rush to create things that we think will satisfy.  Most of the time, it's not done intentionally. Often, it's because we get so wrapped up in the busyness of life that we put Him on the back burner. And never is this more prevalent than during the Christmas season – the time when we should be placing all our attention on the love of the Father, the grace of Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit instead of chasing perishable gifts, overindulging in foods that don't satisfy, and spending money on things that don't yield returns. Throughout this Season for Holiness and beyond, may we opt to become like clay in the Potter's hands and let Him fashion us into the strong, unbreakable, and purposeful vessels He desires us to be. Now that we laid a firm foundation in Episode 96, Part 1 of A Season for Holiness: A Renewal Plan for Writers, it's time to start putting our faith into action and establish a solid writing framework. Ready? Listen in!Resources Mentioned in this Episode:1:1 Coaching Session - a single breakthrough session to gain strategy and clarity1:1 Coaching Bundle - Your choice of 1, 3, or 6 months of weekly coachingConnect with Your Host, Dalene Bickel:Ink and Impact Free Facebook GroupEmail: info@inkandimpact.comWebsite: inkandimpact.com Thanks for listening!

In this message, Dalene looks at the spiritual journeys in the book of Genesis. We, as Christians, are called to be transformed from glory to glory into the Lord's glorious image, 2 Corinthians 3:18. God predestined us all to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, Romans 8:29. The transformation takes place when we yield to the process.

Today, we are joined by the Executive Director of BNI Maritimes, Dalene Allen. We talk about her business, how she started from just giving out her business cards to strangers to now having a wide network of people and being in the center of it all. She also talks about how she continues learning from the people she meets daily.   Over 30 years ago, Dalene Allen signed up as an independent sales rep with Mary Kay Cosmetics and built a multi-million-dollar direct sales business.  As both a woman and a new entrepreneur, building her business gave her experience that could be gained in no other way, and the company provided excellent training.  Like any entrepreneur, she was always learning and growing as an individual and searching for ways to promote her business.   This career, through connections and sales, led her to find BNI.  After attending her first couple of meetings, she was immediately impressed by how organized BNI was and that members were actually giving referrals.  She was also delighted to learn about BNI's core values, especially “Givers Gain,” which is much like the Golden Rule. She learned so much from other members; presentation and speaking skills, business experience and advice, and a boost of self-confidence and self-esteem.  It is a commitment of time and money, but as with any investment, it takes time to grow your network – but BNI is truly the fastest and most effective way to build a huge network that works for all parties. You truly get to know people, and when they know, like, and trust you – referrals do happen.   After being a member and now the Executive Director of BNI Nova Scotia, she believes BNI's philosophy and core values align with hers.  It is a great way to live your life and build a business.  Each BNI chapter becomes a real community and builds lasting relationships.  This network opens up a world to connect with other women entrepreneurs, and she believes we are stronger together.   Connect with Dalene: Website: http://bninovascotia.com/en-CA/index LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daleneallen/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/dalene.allen.1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/daleneallen/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaleneAllen     ——— I love connecting with Work at Home RockStars!

Dalene Joy Fisher (PhD, University of Kent) is assistant provost, dean, and associate professor of English at Oklahoma Wesleyan University. She is the co-author of Academic Writing and the Emerging Scholar. She and her husband, Steven, have four adult children and live in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Purchase a copy of Dalene's book, Resisting the Marriage Plot, here: https://amzn.to/3qxvp0rBook Description:"I cannot suppose any situation more distressing than for a woman of sensibility with an improving mind to be bound to such a man as I have described."Mary Wollstonecraft's response to one of her early critics points to the fact that fiction has long been employed by authors to cast a vision for social change. Less acknowledged, however, has been the role of the Christian faith in such works.In this latest volume in IVP Academic's Studies in Theology and the Arts series, literary scholar Dalene Joy Fisher explores the work of four beloved female novelists: Jane Austen, Anne Brontë, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Mary Wollstonecraft. Each of these authors, she argues, appealed to the Christian faith through their heroines to challenge cultural expectations regarding women, especially in terms of marriage. Although Christianity has all too often been used to oppress women, Fisher demonstrates that in the hands of these novelists and through the actions of their characters, it could also be a transformative force to liberate women.About Marbeth Skwarczynski:Though born on the east coast, I spent most of my life in the American Southwest, eventually settling in California where my husband and I raised two sons. Later we welcomed two fantastic daughters-in-law and four grandchildren into our family. After teaching history and literature for eighteen years, I resigned to write full-time. My preferred genre is Christian contemporary fiction. I keep my characters grounded in the real world and the real problems that Bible believers face today. While they grow, learn, and find possible solutions to their issues, my characters must also deal with the detritus of the past. Living well today doesn't mean that yesterday is erased. I write what I know, either first-hand or through close observation, injecting the joy, happiness, and humor that comes with spiritual freedom and love.Purchase Marbeth's book, Plague of Lies, here: https://amzn.to/3FtIjk5Support the Show:https://www.patreon.com/preacherboysPurchase a Preacher Boys shirt, mask, sticker, or other merch to rep the show! https://www.teepublic.com/user/preacher-boys-podcast________________Find more stories regarding the IFB movement by visiting:– preacherboysdoc.com– https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/– https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc– https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/To connect with a community who share the Eric Skwarczynski and the Preacher Boys Podcast mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/preacher-boys-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
