"The great resignation is becoming the great revolt" Are you one of those that are leaving your job, looking for something meaningful or different?
Do you have a plan outlining how you will create this meaning you are looking for!?

Join our 3 Saturday workshop in March, information on our website's events page.

There are enormous opportunities for freelance workers in the wake of pandemic-related "quits," but also real hazards unless they keep an eye on the horizon.

Excited to share the Success Story of Karin Roman and her clothing business Truly Karin. We have been working with Karin over the last 16-months and have seen her grow. With Karin's permission, we decided to share her uphill and downhill journey as a start-up entrepreneur because it is real and it can be tough and you need to know that. But that said we are so excited to see where she will grow from here. Thanks for sharing your journey, Karin❤❤.

A reminder to small business owners:

Running a business is really hard.
What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid back people.

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.

Friends will expect discounts on everything and value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work life balance. You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend...

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5-10 years. It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially this past year.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient….. and hopefully more of us will stick around!

I copied this from a friend and thought it was pretty spot on with regards to most small businesses!

Coaches are here to support you. You are not alone.

We spent the day with the Gr11's of Kgatelopele Secondary School in Braam Fisher JHB this week talking about their hopes and dreams. The maths teacher Ms Bomikazi Madikizela who is one of our coachees noted that this years Gr12's were not excited for their futures and did not dream about it. So we started early and helped the Gr11's to Dream of a bright future.

Loved to hear the plans and progress from these entrepreneurs. They are addressing the problems in their community while making money.
Sadly their biggest obstacle is outside politics and community greed. But they are finding creative ways around it. So chuffed.
