Under the intense mentorship of the talented McCann team, my professional capabilities grew tremendously. One of the biggest lessons I learned was how much things cost! The actual cost of providing a service astounded me. McCann’s financial team was instrumental in teaching me how to manage this aspect of running a business, and to cost myself appropriately.
 

To be honest, my creative juices are not flowing at the moment. I find myself floating in a dark space without a ray of light. Yet being as always the positive woman, I am looking forward to next week.

The Kiln is a cool project that has introduced me to some highly creative and ambitious young entrepreneurs. I thought young South Africans were not taking the initiative and playing a positive part in their economy but, boy was I wrong. There are some clever chaps around, I tell you.

Lately, the team at Ntswembu Mobile has been actively pitching for a variety of interesting new business prospects. I thought ‘snagging’ a cute girl was hard but pitching for business is five times as challenging.

Firstly, a “yes” or a “maybe” takes less time to elicit when talking to a prospect of the opposite sex - whereas it takes much, much longer when dealing with a potential client.
Secondly, clients need a longer speech and ‘pick-up’ lines don’t work with the same efficiency.

The Kiln has had the opportunity to go live on air to talk about the project and it the opportunities it presents. Here are two interviews that aired on Jozi FM.
