I hope there are people reading this Blog who really want to start a business. I want to give hope to others who may be in a situation where their back is against the wall, where if a kind person would sponsor a friend or family member R1000 perhaps this example might give hope that it's possible and anyone can do it. There are many reasons a person may start their own business. In South Africa (and due to the World's economies, it seems many countries are in a similar position) where our official unemployment statistics are 25% it becomes a grave necessity for Beautiful Bracelets (and I hope many others out there) to become successful businesses so that we can, one at a time, address the problem of unemployment. The reason I chose this kind of business is because it is labour-intensive and in a small way I would be helping the unemployment situation in South Africa by giving jobs to people in a desperate situation. Actually the Charity that will receive the Profits from this 6 week R1000 Start Up Business challenge, being the Starfish Foundation reminds me of the well-known Starfish story. I might not be able to help everyone, but if I can just make a difference in ONE person's life by starting this business and building it up to success, that would be an awesome achievement.
If you are in a tough place, start by expressing gratitude. Be thankful for what you have. We all have things we can give thanks for. Very soon, your mood will lift, depression will leave, and you will begin to recognise that just like the oak tree, the SEED for a thing is WITHIN itself. You have every resource you need to fulfil your destiny. And don't be shy to ASK for what you need. The people placed around you are there for a reason. It's a beautiful day!
