I didn’t have any experience in the working world and therefore started as a secretary for a small insurance company. Time went by, and I job hopped from the one to the other until I found myself smack bang in the middle of the corporate rat race. At the age of 20, my corporate career in the banking industry started. I went from one department to the next, trying to find what I really enjoyed doing and eventually landed up in the merchant sales department. After being in the banking world for about eight years, working under extreme pressure with targets and sales, my first child was born. It would have been amazing to be a stay at home mom, but it was not realistic at that stage. Shortly after returning to work after my maternity leave, my future looked dark and ominous as I was stuck.I was stuck in my position with no chance of being promoted. The situation was inevitable, and I felt trapped, unhappy, and demotivated. I wanted OUT.I wanted to start my own business but had no idea where to start. A few years passed, and in 2015, we moved to Cape Town for my husband’s career. This is when I saw the opportunity to start dreaming big, do my own thing and spend more time with my children.I decided to explore options in the wedding industry as I saw a huge gap in the market. I started by buying into a franchise, doing imported wedding dresses, bridesmaids dresses and evening dresses.I was surrounded by beauty … Beauty in the clients, beauty in the products and beauty in my small little boutique I started from scratch.So many issues arise with the quality of the product, shipping delays, customs issues, that I decided after six months to change the business model to a “Proudly SA” bridal boutique named Smoorverlief Bridal. No more imports. No more inferior products and no more customs. I searched long and hard to find the perfect, the best designer possible to suit my specific needs. I now stock beautiful wedding dresses by a SA designer. The bridesmaid’s collection is manufactured in Port Elizabeth, and I have a local designer that does all my custom design work. My small business, my beautiful baby, has grown so much in the last four years. I am blessed to be a successful entrepreneur and no longer a corporate slave. … See MoreSee Less

MEET THE ENTREPRENEUR #3Ahead of the month of June, JTB Consulting (Just in Time Business Consulting)‘s "Meet the Entrepreneur" series is proud to introduce yet another passionate entrepreneur.Business Name: SA CV WritingFounder: Liesel CloeteDate Founded: 2014Industry of Operation: Human ResourcesLocation: GautengMarket: GlobalWebsite: sacv.biz/Facebook: www.facebook.com/sacvwriting/LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/lieselcloete/YouTube: bit.ly/2M931iTMeet our Entrepreneur, Liesel Cloete:Working in an administrative and Human Resources environment since the age of 21, I had the privilege of working with various types of people from different backgrounds for more than 17 years. It is here where I first saw the need for people working in a corporate environment had for a well-written CV. I saw CV’s coming in and not even looked at if it did not attract the Manager’s attention. It was the same boring document with irrelevant information that could put anyone to sleep. I didn’t think much about it until the opportunity to work for myself became a reality in 2014. It was frightening to take that step into the unknown. If you’ve worked in a corporate environment for so long, you feel overwhelmed, and sometimes I second-guessed myself. Fortunately, I had a family and a mentor in my brother who assured me that I could make a success of this new venture. All I had to do was believe in myself and find my entrepreneurial voice!Following a lot of research and sleepless nights, I wanted to create a company that was different from all the other CV Writing companies. I wanted the website to be interactive, fun, and creative. After brainstorming for a couple of weeks, SA CV Writing was born with the catchy slogan: “As easy as walking the dog.” From the get-go, it was important to me to deliver CVs of exceptional content and visual quality rather than pushing hundreds of generic CVs month after month that looks exactly as the next one. I had to admit that I was a nervous wreck in the weeks before the website went live. Again, I wondered if I would be able to run my own company, and if I had enough knowledge to assist clients in marketing themselves. It’s ironic that my first client was a gentleman that came from a Human Resources background, which also became a repeat-client in the years to come. What makes SA CV Writing different from its competitors is that we do not do things the normal way. We focus on designing Personal Profiles, Infographic CVs, and Animated Explainer CVs. It allows me to utilise my creative side, which is so much fun. Look, it is hard work running your own company, but worth every minute!It’s 2019, and by the grace of God, SA CV Writing has only grown into a successful entity that it is today. I am grateful that this opportunity came at the time it did and will never look back! … See MoreSee Less
