Actress Lusanda Mbane has taken to her social media to share the lessons her business journey has gifted her.
The star who founded her youth empowerment movement back in 2010 took the decision of going into a business.
According to her, she shared all she went through when she is pushing her brand, Zazi Zithande Zithembe and the lessons she has learnt.
Lusanda revealed that she has finally awaken the entrepreneur inside her but she was not told on how she should get prepared for the challenges she was to meet.
She sad: “One month ago, I took a leap of faith. Zazi Zithande Zithembe. A vision that has been brewing within me, a baby that has been growing inside me. I decided that the time was right.
“That was the first lesson: timing is everything. While the movement was launched 8 years ago, I was never ready for this step. I needed to feel it, to live it, for my heart and my head to be in sync.”
Lusanda stated that starting from the scratch was a very big part of her journey and it was difficult time for her.
However, she had to find a way to still be grateful, even in the hard parts of her journey, because she had asked God for everything that was coming her way.
One of the most important lessons for Lusanda has been to learn not to talk badly about herself or allow others around her to fall into that trap.
She concluded: “I have stopped to reprimand a few who speak badly about themselves while ordering. We are in the business of the self and it’s been amazing to have those ‘self’ conversations while processing an order and to hear someone say, ‘Thank you Sis’ Lusanda. I will be aware from now on. I will not talk down on myself.’”
