Peggy-Sue Khumalo
A
force to be reckoned with, Peggy-Sue Khumalo shares her tips on making a success of your
entrepreneurial goals. Having had to work hard for her own success, Khumalo realises the
importance of self-discipline and dedication. Below are the former Miss South Africa and successful
businesswoman’s six P’s, a helpful guideline for those looking for some much-needed inspiration.
1 Purpose: Have a purpose greater than yourself. Serve others. Make a difference.
2 Passion: Your purpose becomes your passion. Whatever it is – children, community, family – it is what gets you out of bed every
morning and keeps you moving forward, through good times and bad.
3 Persistence: Never give up. Life is full of surprises. Don’t quit. Have a zest for life. In South Africa, many of our parents had
nothing but made it work. Be careful of becoming complacent or dependent on others. Challenge others who have fallen into this trap.
4 Patience: We get impatient too quickly. Be patient; not everything happens in the time you want it to. This is an unbelievably
important quality.
5 Performance: Give your best. If you want something to happen, get on with it and do the job. This isn’t only about work, but also
about work-life balance. There isn’t one perfect balance. It is all about the integration of all aspects of your life.
6 People: People and relationships are everything. You are who you are because of the people in your life. You are also accountable
to these people. Serve those who matter to you.
