Thank you for your email and it’s great to see your determination from the word go.
There is never the “right” time to open a business. If you “too young” you don’t have the experience, when you older you have huge responsibility (family , house and commitments). When I was your age I directly challenged my lecturer as he said it was better to wait to your 30’s. Needless to say I opened my first business shortly after to prove him wrong.

Look forward to meeting you and if not, your determination alone will take you places.

Kind Regards, Mike

I’ve just heard your interview on 5fm and got really excited to hear someone speak about owning business like its possible.
I’m a student at the moment (Communication Design) and all I can say about my future at the moment is that I will own my own business, the problem is that I don’t know what I would do and also when to do it, it seems like its a good idea to wait till I have my degree because that piece of paper means so much these days and then need to have an income to start paying my massive student loan off. Most entrepreneurs with my degree tend to only do corporate identity cause that is the opportunity available here which is just bleugh! I cant help but feel stuck, I’ve always been in a rush to get what i want but now I don’t know where to go. So my question is as a young woman who is mostly dependent on her loving boyfriend how can I start moving towards owning a business of my own and becoming the youngest female millionaire in South Africa? :)

Any advice would be so greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Regards,
Jessi

I also had an “ah-hah” moment dealing with the same restaurant you are referring to … I deal with tour groups and negotiating prices and menus for them and when I contacted “that” restaurant, the reply I received made me realize that some people/ business either have a supporting attitude, or they are simply just greedy. Let’s just say I never have and never will contact them again, refer business to them or put my foot there ever again.
