Being in Business is Serious Business

FOR MANY, THEIR entry into business starts as a hobby such as a passion for cooking, baking cakes and biscuits, fixing computers and electronic gadgetry, designing and making garments or providing social media platform maintenance or photographic services, hairdressing and beauty care services.

Then, products made or services offered become popular outside of the family circle, to the extent that others are even willing to buy products or pay for services.

Soon it becomes an income generating activity and thereby the spark of entrepreneurship is ignited.

For fledgling entrepreneurs, business is initially conducted on a trial-and-error basis, with learning and behavioural correcting forming part of the early-stage entrepreneurial journey.

As business gains traction the importance of money discipline, keeping records of expenses and income, and quality service delivery, become a norm.
