7 . DO YOU HAVE HABITS / THINGS THAT YOU DO THAT SET YOU UP FOR SUCCESS ? RUNNING MY OWN BUSINESS MEANS I CAN SET MY OWN TIME SCHEDULE . THIS IS BOTH A BLESSING AND A CURSE AS I TEND TO OVERWORK , SO FINDING THE SWEAT SPOT IS IMPERATIVE ! YOUR HEALTH IS MOST IMPORTANT , SO FIND TIME TO FILL YOUR CUP DOING THINGS THAT INSPIRE YOU ! GET UP EARLY , EXERCISE , EAT WELL , HYDRATE AND GET OUTDOORS . SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY AND LOVED ONES , BUILD MEMORIES . HAVE CLEAR HOURS ASSIGNED FOR WORK AND IN THAT TIME STRATEGISE AND DELEGATE , YOU CAN ’ T DO IT ALL . SURROUND YOURSELF WITH FELLOW ENTREPRENEURS AND BUILD A COMMUNITY THAT WILL INSPIRE AND SUPPORT YOU . SHARE YOU YOUR KNOWLEDGE FREELY . I BELIEVE IN COMMUNITY OVER COMPETITION . THE BEST BUSINESSES SERVE OTHERS AND IF ONE WORD COULD SUMMARISE CNS IT WOULD BE SOLICITUDE [ NOUN ] " CARE OR CONCERN FOR SOMEONE OR SOMETHING ". CHEMISTRY NATURAL SCIENCE WAS BORN FROM A DREAM TO POSITIVELY IMPACT THE HEALTH OF HUMANKIND .
8 . HOW DO YOU FACE A CHALLENGE ? HEAD ON . I LOVE A GOOD CHALLENGE ! DEADLINES MAKE ME TICK ! LOL ! I NORMALLY ATTEND TO ALL BURNING ISSUES QUICKLY BY FIRST ASSESSING THE SITUATION , BRAINSTORMING A SOLUTION , PULLING IN SUPPORT FROM MY TEAM , AND DELEGATING WHERE I CAN . IN CASES WHERE THE PROBLEM REQUIRES SERIOUS PROBLEM SOLVING , I FIND PRAYER AND CONTEMPLATION ALONE HELP ME COME UP WITH THE BEST IDEAS .
9 . WHAT WAS THE MOST COURAGEOUS THING YOU HAVE DONE AS AN ENTREPRENEUR ? TAKE THE LEAP OF FAITH A YEAR AGO TO LEAVE MY FULLTIME CORPORATE GIG TO PURSUE CNS FULL TIME .
10 . WHAT WAS THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU HAVE EVER BEEN GIVEN ? IT TAKES 5 YEARS TO BUILD A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS , BE PERSISTENT , KEEP CHIPPING AWAY .
11 . WHAT DOES YOUR TYPICAL DAY LOOK LIKE ? 06H00 WAKEUP , COFFEE , QUIET TIME READING MY BIBLE AND PRAYING , EXERCISE , SHOWER , AT MY DESK BY 8H00 . I ALWAYS START BY PROCESSING ANY ORDERS , THEN APPLY THE REST OF MY DAY TO IMPLEMENTING STRATEGY WHICH NORMALLY INVOLVES TALKING TO MY PR AND SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER . CHASING UP PAYMENTS AND HANDLING ANY BURNING ISSUES . SWITCH OFF 17H00 TO PREPARE A MEAL AND SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH MY HUBBY .
12 . WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH WHO DO YOU RELY ON FOR HELP OR SUPPORT ? GOD , HE IS ALWAYS MY GO TO IN ANY CRISIS . AND FROM THERE THE RIGHT DOORS ALWAYS OPEN . I LIVE MY LIFE AND RUN MY BUSINESS BASED ON PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7 “ BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING , BUT IN EVERYTHING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION , WITH THANKSGIVING , LET YOUR REQUESTS BE MADE KNOWN TO GOD ; 7 AND THE PEACE OF GOD , WHICH SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING , WILL GUARD YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS .” HE HASN ’ T FAILED ME ONCE AND I AM BLESSED THAT HE HAS SURROUNDED ME WITH THE BEST NETWORK OF LIKEMINDED BUSINESSWOMAN AND MEN WHO ARE ALWAYS WILLING TO SHARE NUGGETS OF ADVICE .
