I teach men and women how to better manage their finances, move closer to their goal of financial freedom and achieve their dream life.
Dr Daleen Smal is an economist and had a high-profile corporate career in the central bank of South Africa spanning 37 years. The last 14 years in the Bank she was a technical advisor to the Monetary Policy Committee (which, among other things, decides on the interest rates in the country). She also served on numerous national economic policy committees deciding on national strategies to help grow the economy.
Throughout her life she constantly wanted to learn more, accomplish more and achieve more. In 1990, she was the first woman to receive a PhD in Economics from the University of South Africa since its inception in 1918. She was an Honorary Professor in Economics at the University of Pretoria. She was a finalist in the country-wide Lebone Woman of the Year competition in 1996. She was a finalist in the category Women in Finance for the 2017 Woman of the Year competition.
In 2014 she retired comfortably from full-time employment. She left behind a big corner office and a 7-figure income. She owned stocks, properties and a well-funded retirement fund.
However, she felt her life’s purpose was not over yet.
She had a burning desire to still contribute to society. She still wanted to make a difference in the world and influence the lives of many, as she did previously as part of a policy making institution.
Her mother, who played a big role in her life, set her on a new course (She lost her father in 1986):
When her nephews and nieces were younger she started a series of “millionaire letters” to them, teaching them the principles of finances and wealth creation. Her mother suggested that she use those letters, her lifetime of experience in the financial and policy environment, and her lecturing experience at the Reserve Bank College, as basis to change the lives of many more people.
That was when she took the decision to shift her life-long focus from helping to grow THE economy to helping you grow YOUR economy. After all, core financial principles remain the same whether it is for a country, a business, or an individual.
Subsequently, she founded her company and started her Win The Wealth Game brand. She set about publishing her book “The Art Of Money: How To Win The Wealth Game” and it became a best-seller. Then she created her signature wealth creation system called Grow Your Own Economy Solution™ to help others achieve financial freedom.

Director and Chief Economist of the Efficient Group
I have known Daleen for many decades. At first as a colleague at the South African Reserve Bank, but later as a one of the foremost econometricians and theoretical economists in the country. Finally, I have known Daleen as a friend that shared a common love for the dismal science. Daleen’s passion and insights in economics never failed to inspire me and everybody prepared to share in her wide knowledge.

Daleen’s sincere commitment to see people moving out of the poverty cycle and achieving abundant success is a quality much needed in our financially turbulent times.
