Hi, I’m Grant Deetlefs!
I’ve spent over 30 years running businesses, managing projects, and leading teams across retail, manufacturing, shopfitting, and construction. I founded and ran Retail Store Aid, where I handled everything from finances and staff management to operations and project execution. After selling my company, I wanted more freedom, flexibility, and the chance to explore new opportunities. That’s when I discovered the exciting world of online business and began my affiliate marketing journey, focusing on subscription-based marketing models.
Living in the breathtaking Hidcote Valley in the KZN Midlands has been a game-changer for me. Surrounded by nature, I spend my days hiking, fishing, birding, and soaking in the outdoors with my wife, Dibs. This lifestyle inspires my work and keeps me energized, proving that it’s possible to combine business success with adventure and personal fulfilment.
Alongside my online work, I also run my own tour company, XHUMANISA ECO-SAFARIS, and work as a freelance field guide and tour guide. You’ll find both my guiding services and online business journey showcased on the same website. So please don’t think you got lost, if you see a safari page while you actually looking at making a few extra Rands on the side.
Together with Dibs, I run the blog ‘Irresponsible Adults’, where we share stories, lessons, and inspiration for anyone looking to rediscover their passions, take bold steps, and embrace change. Our goal is simple: to show that midlife can be a time of transformation, new beginnings, and exciting opportunities.
Through my “Grant Connects” affiliate marketing journey, I aim to help others create financial freedom, build confidence, and explore new ways of living and working. I believe anyone can take control of their future, and I’m passionate about guiding and inspiring others to make their dreams a reality.
