What are your thoughts on CBD Oil and the benefits in treating people with ailments and conditions?
CBD oil is absolutely beneficial to each and every one of us as we have what is known as an endocannabinoid system in our bodies and this controls all of our other systems such as our central nervous system, immune system, sleep and wake cycles and so on. The endocannabinoid system is kept healthy by way of cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. When we ingest oils containing these essential cannabinoids, we are assisting our bodies to create the state of homeostasis – where everything works in perfect alignment. Just as one can be nutrient deficient, we are cannabinoid deficient. This in-turn, has a negative knock on effect to our health.
What are some of your best entrepreneurial lessons you would like to share with us?
Human beings are always going to have needs. However, those needs can and will change. We saw our needs instantly and drastically change with the onset of Covid and lockdown. Being a smart entrepreneur knows how to spot and pre-empt those changes long before they become mainstream. As an entrepreneur, I have had much success by simply staying “ahead of the curve”
Did you have any struggles/challenges starting up the business and what have you learnt?
I started with approximately R10 000 to buy the botanical extractor and the first batch of dry herbs I needed. I then used those sales to expand as I went along. For the past four years, most of what the business has made has gone straight back, as I have seen this as the foundation phase of the legacy I am creating. I have also used some of the bank’s money at times to buy stock and equipment and have sold shares in my stores to open them. I also acquired agents very early on to sell my products and used the money from their sales to further the business’s growth and expansion. Another challenge was circumnavigating our way around the law and the restrictions placed on CBD oils. We have to ensure that we are certified and compliant at all times.
How have you survived the pandemic – in fact, thriving to the point where you have opened up more stores?
We quickly diversified when Covid hit. We applied for our essential services provider certification, we immediately offered free home delivery service and we created a new range of medicines specifically targeting what people were struggling with, such as immune boosters, respiratory aids and lots of organic medication for stress and anxiety.
What else do you have planned for 2021?
Recently we added a body scanning device to our list of offerings which scans the entire system and gives us a complete picture as to exactly what is going on with the person’s health, right down to the last nutrient deficiency. It even completes an emotional matrix and can gives us a picture of the emotional state of mind. This means no more guessing or expensive, inconclusive results, but we can diagnose with accuracy. We have also added a rife machine which as with the body scan, uses quantum healing to eradicate the body of any disease or unhealthy cells. Together with our products and energy healing, there is absolutely no disease or illness, at any stage which we cannot treat. This is how our forefathers treated us and this is our treatment of the future. Then, once the person is healthy again and feeling better, we have the ability to assist with the natural aesthetics side, so that their outer appearance can make their inner health. I have a goal of 10 stores by the end of 2021 and have already started the process of looking into exporting our products.
Do you have any advice for other female entrepreneurs?
- Find your calling. When you align yourself with that calling, magic starts to happen.
- Do not be afraid to fail. It is all part of the cycle to success.
- Create a long term plan and break that down into bite sizes achievable goals, but also allow for deviations in that plan.
- Keep going, never ever give up on your calling. It is why you are here and when you honour your calling, the heavens conspire to make it happen.
- Work smart. Alignment is the new hustle.
- Do not listen to the naysayers. They have been placed on your path to deter you.
- If your idea or business is not aligned to the greater good of the planet or helping humanity in some way, it is doubtful that it will take off.
- Find a way to incorporate your business idea into helping humanity by adding a strong social upliftment angle.
- Always, always give back where you can.
