2020 Testimonials
In November 2020, my company sales exceeded R800K. This was the highest invoiced sales of the year and in fact the highest monthly invoiced sales ever in the history of the company. This will mean that despite Covid and lockdown, our turnover will most probably exceed that of 2019.
I realized after participation in the program that I rated myself and my potential very low. After a few sessions I gained confidence in myself and the direction to take to grow my business.
What makes this program special is that it allowed me space to check in with myself first as the driver of the business and it helped me to look at my business in different ways and develop new strategies to grow.
Now I know the channels to look for funding, the funders’ expectations and how to match my ask from funders with the stage of my business. That was my WOW moment. The program has not only benefitted us individually and our businesses, but its impact has also trickled down to communities as a way of transforming them.
