Latest trade: "Rock the House" with WONDERboom
31 January 2012
"Rock the House"
A private house party for up to 200 people with WONDERboom!

Life is wonderful! There is so much to celebrate! And what better way to celebrate whatever is full of wonder in your life, than to throw a party with all your friends and their friends and their friends too!
And no party is complete without music. And if that music is a live band – how cool is that?
After finishing my epic-long 2 year Springleap T-shirt trade last year on 22 September, and then re-energising and also exploring and researching quite a few options for my next item to trade, this is it: a “Rock the House” Party with WONDERboom
WONDERboom will play their awesome rock tunes at your home, for your friends and their friends, your mom and dad and the rest of the family, your dog, the neighbours, (and the second biggest fan of the band who begs you to attend your exclusive party).
Offer includes:
- An exclusive WONDERboom experience at your home
- DJ "JP Silver" to keep the party rocking after the mini-concert
- All production and lighting costs and equipment needed to rock the house included
- Travel costs for the band if the party happens in Gauteng is included (if outside Gauteng, you'd need to cover additional costs- ask me about this)
- Date is subject to the availability of WONDERboom

I lost my mojo... but found it again
13 January 2012
Wow! It's the New Year already and I haven't written a post since finishing the Epic T-shirt Trade in September last year.
Well, that is how I felt.
It had been a year of studying full time at Raizcorp, working full time on and in Inner Coaching, starting my own online TV Show Let's Talk Possibility, becoming a director of YBSA, helping to develop the MCF's supervision programme, only wearing T-shirts (that wardrobe restriction did cause a level of stress for even the tom-boy in me!), and creatively engaging all my gears to finish trading the springleap T-shirts.
So yeah, I was pretty tired.
Rest is good. Time contemplating is useful. Re-connecting with my purpose and my reasons for turning a matchstick into an office ignited something again. Throw in a couple of transformational coaching sessions too, and time with my family in Cape Town, and voila- I've found my mojo again.
I'm back. I'm ready.
With also many calls and meetings and emails and options explored over the last few months, and becoming a full page spread in the Brainstorm Magazine, I've now made some decisions. And that will lead to an announcement of my next step.
So, just a little more patience please. You'll know soon enough what the 375 Springleap T-shirts have turned into, that you can then make me offers on, in order to help me get to the offices. And help those entrepreneurs we need to create more jobs. Yeah!
Till then, rock on!

Hallelujah! I've finished!
22 September 2011
This is what I've been hearing in my mind since Wednesday morning 21 September. As it was then that I got the final nod from the awesome team at Springleap – to say they have accounted for all my 375 T-shirt trades that they facilitated for my tenth trade.

ONE left! Be my Hero!
07 September 2011
So I now have one Springleap T-shirt left to trade, as part of finishing my tenth trade.
Exactly 1.
O-N-E!
So, who is going to be my T-shirt Hero and trade with me for my last T-shirt?
It's taken me nearly 2 years to trade 374 T-shirts... so how long will it take to trade the very last one?
If you want to be the onematchstick Hero and my Hero, then all you need to do is follow the below instructions, and then contact me with your order number! Email or sms 0837302979 or tweet me!
How to trade with me by buying your T-shirt and make it count towards my onematchstick trade:
1. If you haven't registered yet on www.Springleap.com, now's the time to do so.
2. When you are logged in, choose the T-shirt you want. You can choose ANY design. Click on the SHOP button to see the available designs.
3. When you find the T-shirt you want, click on the size you want (there is a link which explains the sizing and the ladies T-shirts are a lady's cut). Once you click on the size, it gets added to your "shopping cart".
4. When you've finished adding your T-shirt to your shopping cart, click on the shopping cart icon on the top right hand of the screen.
5. Enter in your delivery details, and where it says "if you have a Springleap coupon, enter it here:" you enter the code, which is: onematchstick (all lower case, one word). This is a VERY IMPORTANT STEP! Please remember to add the code! this is how springleap tracks that it is a trade with me, and it costs you nothing.
6. Choose your delivery options, then click the confirm and pay button.
7. Check your details, and then you can choose to pay by EFT or by credit card.
8. Just follow the prompts and you will have finalised trading with me, and your T-shirt will be delivered to your door by courier in about 3 days.
9. Email or sms 0837302979 or tweet me your order number so I can add it to my list of trades as the FINAL TRADE!
Yippeeee!
Thank you!

My "Ellen DeGeneres Look"
07 August 2011
On the 2 August 2009 I started my long Tshirt Trade with Eric and Eran of Springleap. What an epic long trade it's turned out to be: a whole 2 years and 4 days to date.
We threw a competition to design the official onematchstick Tshirt. And then I traded nearly a hundred in a few weeks of launching the code to track the trades. Then things slowed down...
I am often asked if I think I made a mistake making this trade. I don't believe I have. I made it for very specific reasons, which will unfold as I progress with my future trades. And though I did not think that it would be such a difficult (at times), and long process to trade on the 375 T-shirts (especially such awesome, funky, designer T-shirts like Springleap T's), I will finish this trade. And soon!
To keep myself motivated and show the few nay-sayers my commitment to this trade, I pledged on 27 August 2010 to only wear Springleap T-shirts until I finished this trade. That meant that every day I would put on a Springleap T-shirt, and remind myself of my mission. And then it was easy too to show a sample to people I met who expressed interest in trading with me.
And I have kept that pledge to date. And will for however long it takes me to trade the last remaining 27 T-shirts.
I had some challenges with this dress-code pledge in the last year. Like when I had business meetings to go to – I soon learnt how to "corporatize" my T-shirts. Then there was a formal wedding a friend asked me to attend as his date. I hired a Tuxedo Tailcoat and added high heels, to dress up my T-shirt for that occasion. And then the elegant Feather Awards, where I was a finalist, I dug out my glitzy poncho that I got on my travels to India for a friend's wedding.
Recently I noticed that I’ve developed a certain "look". After starting my own podcast show with my friend and co-host Jack, I started looking for mentors to help develop my skills. I've been getting some inspiration from watching TV talk shows, and often catch the Ellen DeGeneres show while I have lunch. And then I noticed how my pledge has led me to pick up an "Ellen look".
Living in jeans and a T-shirt and a blazer sure is comfortable. And even though it's comfy, I am so looking forward to finding my own look again, and exploring some girly-girl dresses this summer, and less of the T-shirts and jeans.
So, with only 27 T-shirts to go, I am wondering if I'll manage to trade them all by the end of the month – making it a yearlong Pledge and a 2 years and one month Trade. I have this Adventure Talk coming up, these 3-way trades, and also the Tattoo Picnic Party to help finish this trade.
Do you think I can do it?
