Press Release

Wartovo Puara Jnr to Leave PNG Hunters for Agmark Gurias

January 9, 2025 – Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea

The SP PNG Hunters announce with both pride and heartfelt gratitude the departure of long-serving player turned coach Wartovo Puara Jnr, who has made the decision to transfer to the Agmark Gurias for the upcoming season. Wartovo’s decision was made with the best interests of his family at heart, reflecting his commitment to both his career and personal responsibilities.

Puara, a stalwart of the PNG Hunters since their inception in 2014, has been an integral part of the team’s journey in the Queensland Cup competition to winning a premiership in 2017. Known for his exceptional skill, leadership, and sportsmanship, he has been a true ambassador of rugby league in Papua New Guinea, inspiring countless young players to follow in his footsteps.

“This was not an easy decision for me,” said Puara. “The Hunters have been my family for over a decade, and I am proud of everything we’ve achieved together. However, after much thought and discussions with my family, I have decided to join the Agmark Gurias to better support my loved ones and continue supporting the sport I love closer to home.”

Worth reading.
Sadly we ended another era...

One day, a group of kids had their last pop gun season, marble season, bottle top season, cricket season and hockey season without realizing that was an end of an era.

The era that played outside till street lights came on and raced home before mama starts yelling. The era that drank ice block on the curb while telling stories about movies or urban tales of bottle meri and banana man. The era that almost played in all the yards in the street.

A social era indeed with simple kids and simple needs.🇵🇬😌😭

Oh sorry 😔

3 STEPS FORWARD FOR MY EMPLOYED FRIENDS

Are you tired of being stuck fortnight to fortnight? I know. I was once there. Tired of being stuck in the Rat Race and always wanting a way forward. Well here are 3 Steps Forward that you can try...

1. Register your Consultancy & Open a Smart Business Account with BSP.

2. Transfer 10% every fortnight to your Smart Business Account for 12 month to Qualify for an SME Loan.

3. After 12 Months, use that Startup Capital plus that SME Loan and Build your Company or a Trade Store, PMV, Boat, Chicken Project, or whatever.

Here's a Truth I want all SMEs to know...

NO ONE WILL GIVE YOU STARTUP CAPITAL

So pay yourself first every fortnight. That 10% you save every fortnight is your Startup Capital. Because you can use it after 12 months with no struggle. And now that we've solved the Problem of Startup Capital, let's focus on our next hurdle... Building your Consultancy Business.

The Main Reason why I advise people to start with Consultancy Services is based on experience in our family. You can start from Zero. No Taxi, No Store Goods, No Boat, No PMV, No Chickens, No machinery needed to start.

You can send out a hundred Proforma Invoices today with an Expression of Interest with your Profile Attached and do Business Development today and this month with zero money in your Bank Account to OFFER the following services.
1. Induction Programs
2. Auditing Services/ Document Review
3. SOP Drafting/Editing Services
4. Workshop Services
5. Service Contracts

It doesn't matter if you have or don't have money in your Bank Account. What matters is you sending out 100 Proforma Invoices today after doing your Business Development. And then you follow up with a call and wait until a deposit hits your Bank Account and then you can move. Don't deal with a Purchase Order unless you can survive without pay for 30, 60 or 90 days or you have other streams of income.

In Step 1, here's what you need

BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENT
1. IPA
2. IRC
3. Business Profile
4. Smart Business Account

Then you can start saving your Startup Capital for 12 months.

In Step 2, while you are on your 12 month Journey, invest in Personal Branding, Business Development & Customer Relationship Management. You can invest your Time in the following:

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
5. Website
6. page
7. Facebook Advertising
8. Virtual Assistants
9. Strategic Partnerships
10. Community Obligations

Establishing yourself as a Subject Matter Expert in your field of expertise is a way of making effective use of the Years of Skills, Knowledge and Experience you've gained. There's a Goldmine of Knowledge in your head right now but you can let it go to waste if you don't do steps 5 to 10.

Step 3 is what most people are familiar with, finish from Employment & Invest in a Trade Store, Table Market, PMV, Boat or Pyramid Schemes & Scams. All the best to that.

Anyways, these are your 3 Steps forward if you are currently employed & stuck every fortnight.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

Your friend
