– Let us try to find a way to win

When wrestling difficulties of expanding the business, protecting it against major setbacks that could result in its premature closure, may be the last thing and least priority on the owner’s mind.

Documentaries have been created detailing stories of economic difficulties of life during world wars, and those who lived long enough in this country, can also attest to difficulties of life for many during apartheid. But life in South Africa today, especially for the youth, is difficult to bear. Coupled with their parents lacking material resources to help them, and burdened by heavy debt of trying to improve their education and skills, many are still faced with bleak prospects of being active participants in this poor economy.

For now, it does not matter who you believe or believe in. What matters more is what you believe. Our plans, strategies and actions are premised on expectations of a good outcome. In fact, it is impossible to live without expectation of good outcome in the future. I wish many aspirant business owners could remember this fact always the next time they feel tempted to give up on their businesses. By Nimroth Gwetsa, 30 October 2018. Continue reading

– The Joy and Pain of Entrepreneurship

By Nimroth Gwetsa, 15 December 2015.

Summer holidays are upon us. Whether one is on vacation elsewhere or is enjoying the tranquility of the local environment, summertime is the season expected to bring good fortune. It’s as if living things are doing their best to show off their appreciation of summer: with flowers blossoming, birds singing their early morning glorious melodies, succulent fruits falling-off trees, people getting together and strengthening their relationships.
