Before you became the business titan you are today, enlighten us about the thrilling adventures of your pre-business life.
Before starting my self-discovery journey, which led me to who I am today, I was very shy, had no confidence or belief in myself, and never thought big amazing things were possible for little me. I lived day to day doing various sales and restaurant jobs, feeling like my life was being wasted. At one point, I found myself homeless, sitting in a restaurant with my suitcase. I had deep dark moments where I wanted to give up but felt I had a bigger, more important purpose than just existing. I remember the moment I thought I couldn’t be born to just live like this. I was scared but started to think seriously about my fears and took action to step out of my daily grind. Magic started to happen from that day on!
Without a day’s experience, I came up with an idea and won a tender at Johannesburg Tourism Company. I resigned and started a business, renting offices and putting out ads. Within three months, I had 10 telesales staff and published my first tourism guides. Without a day’s experience or degree, I founded a 5-Star Child Care center, franchising it into 5 branches. I also started a Day Spa ZenJu Day Spa and got into a Boutique Hotel. I sold all my companies when we decided to immigrate to Australia. Looking back at those early days to what I became and created, I still can’t believe I am a self-made millionaire! I have since transitioned to a Life & Mindset Coach, focusing on teaching others what’s possible with faith, courage, and belief in oneself. I am now also writing children’s books to teach youth these skills from a younger age.
Could you elaborate on the nature of your initiative/business/current role, highlighting its purpose and the ways it benefits people?
I am a Life & Mindset Coach who focuses on the youth, a Counselor, Motivational Speaker, and a Children’s Author. My purpose is to empower people, especially the younger generation, to live with heart, courage, and responsibility. Through coaching and speaking engagements, I help people take control of their lives, achieve their dreams, and overcome setbacks. By writing children’s books, I aim to instill these values from a young age so they can grow up with a strong sense of purpose and resilience.

As a woman entrepreneur, what changes do you hope to see in the world and what opportunities are you seeking?
I hope to see every woman, especially those who feel less than they are, step into their power and spread kindness and love by helping others see the light too. Women today stand shoulder-to-shoulder with men in the workplace, breaking through glass ceilings to reach the top.
Women now stand shoulder-to-shoulder with men in the workplace, breaking through glass ceilings to reach the top. What are your thoughts on women’s leadership today?
Women have a solid and deep connection and understanding with people and the world around them. They have great intuition and instincts, making them excellent leaders who can lead with strength, courage, and understanding. Women need to be recognized for who they are today and what they bring to the table.
