Locked and Loaded – building business in difficult times
FOURWAYS – Hirsch invites entrepreneurs to their next workshop to be held on 23 October.
New and established entrepreneurs attended Hirch’s Entrepreneurs Workshop webinar on 16 October, and they already look forward to another one, to be held on 23 October.
The keynote speaker was one of South Africa’s most successful young entrepreneurs who consults businesses globally, Nic Haralambous. The workshop was hosted by Margaret Hirsch, award-winning businesswoman and executive director of the Hirsch’s Group, and one of the top business coaches in the country, Marlene Powell.
The workshops are held on a weekly basis.
“The combination of Margaret and Marlene is dynamic. During these sessions, I have learnt so much from every speaker that they have brought on and it has been so uplifting,” said Heidi Black of InTheBlack Accounting services, a regular attendee of these workshops.
“It has just pushed me to do better every time. When I have bad days, the highlight of my week is always Hirsch’s Webinars on Friday’s. I just feel that I can do so much more at the end of the sessions.”
The recent session was titled Locked and Loaded, and Haralambous, who has sold three businesses in the past decade and has, in his words ‘learnt many lessons through failure and success over an intense and exciting 20-year obsession as an entrepreneur’ spoke to attendees via Zoom and FB Live. Haralambous said his work focused on helping people start and build businesses. “If you can change your perspective then your perspective can change your business. Don’t knock pressure. There needs to be panic in your life because things are changing, and pressure is a privilege. Many successful businesses have been built during a recession, constraints cause creativity,” he said.
Powell suggested that business owners reset their success triggers, and work with a firm plan in place – finding time to work on their business and spending time doing what they were passionate about outside the business to avoid burn out.
Hirsch suggested that attendees subscribe to Haralambous’s newsletter nharry.com, to get more valuable advice from this young icon in the business world. “Connect with him on LinkedIn, He posts every single day and has tremendous success on this platform.”
Join Hirsch and Powell for the 23 October workshop between 11am and 12pm entitled How To Future Proof Your Business, with guest speakers, Mark Sham from Suits and Sneakers and attorney, Robyn Hey. Follow the link to join, https://bit.ly/33ZMg0i
