My Story
Hey there! I’m Vigeon Richen, and I’m excited to share a glimpse into my life. Alongside my wonderful wife, Vanidha, we’re proud parents to two amazing daughters and an amazing son, all happily married with two wonderful sons-in-law and a wonderful daughter-in-law. And let me tell you, our five delightful grandchildren are the true stars of our family!
Travelling is one of my passions—I make it a point to explore new horizons at least twice a year, in addition to countless local adventures. I feel so blessed to still have my incredible mom, who is now 84 years young, inspiring us all with her wisdom and love.
But what truly lights my fire? As an avid entrepreneur, I’m committed to making a difference in society through my digital marketing platform. I believe in the power of innovation to transform lives, and I’m on a mission to enable and empower others to join me in this incredible journey. So, let’s connect and create waves of change together!
Early Life
I grew up in a modest home with my mother and five siblings in a small township called Lenasia. I followed the prescribed route, like many others, attending nearby schools and earning a C average in grade 12. The message was unambiguous: if you have an education, you will be able to find a "good" job. That's precisely what I was pursuing.
Now that I'm retired, however, I've come to realise that the J.O.B. (Just Over Broke) mentality isn't meant to uplift us; rather, it's meant to keep the masses trapped in a cycle of mediocrity.
At that point, I made a crucial choice: I wanted to contribute to the solution. These days, I work with entrepreneurs who are truly making a difference in the world! For the simple reason that governments aren't in They are more concerned with filling their own coffers than they are with improving lives.
Let's connect if you're prepared to leave the grind of living pay cheque to pay cheque and work with me to change the world! We can empower one another and accomplish great things together. Are you in? It begins with you.
Career
I developed my skills in the information technology department of one of South Africa's five major banks for more than forty years. I continued my journey by working for six years in the retail and gas service industries, where I gained important experience in money management. Indeed, banks are your best friends when deposits come in, but they quickly vanish when things go south.
I worked for an outsourced company at the end of my banking career, providing onsite technical software support. Despite the years I spent there, I continued to develop, obtaining a Postgraduate Program in Management, several certifications, and ultimately an MBA.
After I retired, I made the decision to use my experience to help others—my friends, family, non-profits, and business owners—succeed. In the ever-evolving field of digital marketing, I found my calling, which perfectly matched my desire to inspire others.
As a Funnel Hacker today, I'm making big dreams come true with the help of ClickFunnels' knowledge and resources. I lead the way in providing creative business solutions at Richen Consulting. Come see how we can work together to inspire, connect, and change lives.
Giving Back
I'm excited to announce that by taking part in the ALx Ventures Do Hard Things Challenge, I've taken a risk. This experience has been crucial to my goal of enabling the most creative businesspeople to face obstacles head-on with perseverance and grit.
As a proud member of the coaching program, I had the privilege of being one of the first judges, assessing some incredibly talented semi-finalists in Johannesburg. Everyone contributed something unique, which made my job an exciting adventure in finding ground-breaking concepts.
