Creating Jobs in South Africa
How are we going to create employment in South Africa?
Certainly not relying on government or the private corporate sector to “generate” jobs, is my belief.
Let us not sit back & wait for others to do it for us – it simply won’t happen.
We have to do it, for ourselves, is the only answer.
Those with energy & passion will persevere & become successful & prosperous business professionals.
This guide will give you some pointers, as how to be successful in starting & running your own business.
I do urge you to join & make use of your local Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
These are people committed to assisting us SMME business Owners, & even more important, connecting us with larger organizations, who can make good use of the services you offer.
Chambers are never about enriching themselves, but are ALL about serving you, their loyal Member & entrepreneur.
But, can I do this?
Yes, of course you can, provided you are dedicated & self-disciplined.
99% of companies in our country, are small businesses, who employ close to 50% of the workforce.
No, you don’t need special training, or even fancy degrees, to run a successful business.
It just takes heart & action.
That is the desire to succeed & total commitment, to get up every day & follow your dream.
- You can do it from home.
Did you know, 52% of small businesses are home based
- Enjoy tax benefits.
You can quite legally write off a number of expenses, including travel, telephone bills, food, car repayments, rent etc.
And, depending on the business, there may also be various government grants available to you.
- You get out what you put in.
This amazing opportunity allows you the freedom to be your own boss & do the things you are most passionate about – & all the while, earn money from the enterprise& passion!
Over the next 4 weeks, the Fourways Chamber of Commerce & Industry, will unpack an easy to follow, step-by-step guide, to launching your successful small business.
At any stage, you are most welcome to call us for advice – we serve YOU, our Chamber Members.
