THEY say once in a lifetime, opportunity knocks on a door right in front of you, but it is always up to you to turn the knob and let it enter the room. For these young ladies, their moment arrived and they took no chances, the young ladies have seized an entrepreneurial opportunity to become successful Network Marketers. But one then poses to ask if they were ‘‘born’’ Network Marketers or if passion led them to it?
Salome Isa a vibrant, 23-year-old young lady grew up in Bulawayo amid a very loving and supportive Christian family. Their constant cheer and encouragement moulded her into a friendly and confident individual with unstoppable willpower in regards to any endeavour she sat her mind to. For Salome, the idea of Network Marketing was birthed in June 2018 during a conversation with her aunt Zelda Khoza. Her natural inquisitiveness led to a fascination in regards to the concept and she fancied the idea of working with various individuals, and was even willing to learn more about it. Considering that prior to being introduced to the world of Network Marketing she was no marketer at all, Salome had no idea what she was getting herself into or any requisites for success. But, as a firm believer in God coupled by supportive parents, she knew she would succeed and took the plunge and learnt about the business.
Partnering with Salome Jamu, an independent 27-year-old female from Bulawayo too, these ladies have come a long way from where they started.
“I discovered myself to be a quiet but innovative person, so network marketing wasn’t my first choice of business in life but having grown up in a business oriented family I became familiar with the concept and had the opportunity to be a part of it. In my little experience I have learnt that not all days are the same, but if you are passionate about going forward and become persistent you can reach your life goal. It was a leap of faith; and faith is what has brought us to where we are today”.
While some people think that to be successful in their line of business you must be a full-time network marketer, both these ladies are only doing it part-time. Isa and Jamu are students currently pursuing a BSc degree in Operations Research and Statistics at the National University of Science and Technology and Design and Technology respectively.
So ladies and gentlemen, no matter how difficult your circumstances are, it’s never too late to pursue new opportunities because all you need is a jump-start. If a chance presents itself, don’t be too pessimistic and cower in the shadows. Be adventurous, take a few risks and be open to new ideas and business ventures.
