After a chance meeting with a stranger in Gordons Bay who hired Brenda and I to edit and proofread a poem she had just written - our first venture into editing, we decided to take the plunge and try to make some extra money by proofreading and editing manuscripts. We designed and printed some pamphlets, distributed them around the area and started getting orders for proofreading work.
That was around twelve years ago and now - here we are today with a very busy fully-fledged proofreading and editing business.
We have been working twelve hours a day; 7 days a week for a long time and are now in desperate need of a break - hopefully very soon!
The fact is that if you have some skills and are prepared to work very hard, you can start a business in South Africa and make it work.
Despite the blocks against entrepeneurship; the good news for South Africans is that compared to the rest of the world; South africa is extremely unregulated; which creates huge opportunities for entrepeneurs.
You don't have to be a slave to a boss; you can choose your own hours, plan your own vacations and avoid all the red tape and regulations that plague South Africans across the board.
The only way to avoid this trap is to take the grants offered, keep your 'side hustle' going but fight your way out of the poverty trap by identifying your talents and by hook or by crook - start another small business; which is easy to do; due to the lack of regulation; and work your ass-off to make it grow.
Now - you knew it was coming - so here comes the sales pitch;
