15 January 2022 My 1st Entrepreneurial blog

This is my 1st time writing a blog, I never understood the why of it... I guess with time I will learn.

 

 I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur, my grandmother is a good example of an Entrepreneur. She owned a food stall, she sold food at Dube in Soweto, the spot she sold at was close to a radio station, train station, a hostel,  sports betting, and a student residence. She had a lot of customers and she always had money. Watching her prepare the food and serve her customers taught me a love for work and business. Her business helped her accomplish a lot of things.

Growing up, my mindset changed and I doubted my skills as a wannabe entrepreneur, I was filled with fear and I pushed it aside. In 2012 I registered a company to build a construction company, I obtained building skills but I was too slow for the market, I didn't have a mentor and cheap labor was my competition... So I decided to look for a job since I needed a stable income.

I am now working on resigning as soon as I can to pursue my dream of becoming an entrepreneur and building a sustainable company. Through BYU I hope to gain confidence and learn skills that will enable me to build a company. I hope this becomes a wonderful journey filled with purpose and determination.

This quote stood up to me this week:

Make no small plans, for they have no power to stir the blood.

—Daniel Burnham

This is true, small plans do not keep you up at night nor do they inspire you to be buried in hard work. I am grateful for this inspiring journey to lifting others and accomplishing greatness. This journey I dedicate to my grandmother and my posterity.
