Lechien Becker (photographer): "The secret to starting your own business is to take that leap of faith and trust in your decisions. It takes a lot of hard work, passion and consistency. Never give up."

Cindy Pretorius (restaurant owner): “First of all, be passionate about what you do and believe in yourself. Also make sure your product or service is something unique.”

Tanya Smit (beauty salon owner): “To start a new business you have to stay on trend with the latest in your field, advertise on all social media platforms and believe in yourself and your business.”

Carina Rossouw (interior designer): “Most importantly, believe in what you do and in yourself as a woman. When things get tough, as they inevitably do, it helps to be doing something you feel is important and that is a passion. Know that things take longer and cost more than anticipated.”
