Small Business Success Stories

 

 

Running a small business can be both a lonely and fraternal experience. It’s lonely in the sense that no two small businesses are the same.

 

Every entrepreneur has to deal with a unique set of circumstances and factors that are specific to their business. On the other hand, it’s fraternal in the sense that small business owners stick together. 

 

The communal nature of small business ownership is what keeps many entrepreneurs going when times get tough, and the forecast begins to darken; it’s also what inspires entrepreneurs to share information with their peers willingly, as opposed to selfishly safeguarding their principles of success.

As a small business owner—or at least someone with an entrepreneurial mind who one day hopes to launch a business—there’s tremendous value in immersing yourself in the small business community and studying those who are experiencing positive results.

 

Here is at some small business success stories that provide insight into how making key decisions and sacrifices has helped these entrepreneurs grow their business. 

5 Entrepreneurs Who Started With Nothing - and 3 Lessons to Learn

 

 

It's not uncommon to hear about entrepreneurs who used the wealth they made from a previous endeavor to build a thriving new startup, or about seasoned business owners who took over a decades-old franchise and transformed it into something new. These stories are inspiring in their own way; but to me, it's even more inspiring to hear about people who started with nothing.

These are entrepreneurs who started their journey with no capital, no funding and sometimes no education or experience, yet despite the odds were still able to build massive successes.

12 of South Africa’s Top Women Entrepreneurs

 

 

 

According to The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, Africa now has the highest growth in businesses started and run by women. In many fields, women entrepreneurs are leading the way.

At The Workspace, we love seeing this in practice. The women entrepreneurs among our members do everything. They offer tax advice to manufacture personal protective gear, build business software systems, run catering businesses, manage important NGOs and much, much more.

We’re also proud to have capable businesswoman, Colleen Mansour, as our CEO.

Towards the end of the ten years that the African Union has declared as African Women’s Decade, and in time for Women’s Day, we profile some of South Africa’s top women entrepreneurs.
