Accountability

Being an entrepreneur is a mixed bag. It can be very liberating as you run your own show, you decide what to do and when. However, you are mostly alone and making decisions can be tough. In the long run, you reap the benefits of your success but also feel the pain when failure strikes. This is where accountability comes into play. The lack of accountability can be a real problem and may lead to loss of control, to becoming pessimistic and create a situation where you are not able to get up and fight again.

Cultural Integration in South Africa

Cultural Integration is a part of everyday life in South Africa which can be seen in many aspects such as schools as well as the work environment.

Heading: Eating disorders

Anorexia nervosa is a psychological illness characterised by a consistent reduction in food intake. Fear of gaining weight and a warped body image cause the anorexic to strive constantly for weight loss. It is a disease that leads to self-starvation to maintain an abnormally low body weight. It can occur in people of all ages, gender, race, and economic status, although it occurs mostly in adolescents and young adult females.

The relationship between inventory, sales, and cash

The relationship between inventory management and sales is important because you can only know what inventory you have – if you know what has been purchased and what has been sold – with the net effect being the impact on the cash flow. In order to track the profitability and cash flow, the business owner must make good decisions about key operations in the areas of re-ordering products, how much to purchase, where and when to purchase.

Diversity is a woman’s tool

Transitioning back into the world of a woman after spending years in a ‘Dudes’ rugged environment was not easy according to Marcel Cronje, the proud owner of Belle Vue Guesthouse in Hartbeespoort. ” I literally had to knock on my girlfriend’s doors to get advice on how to get dressed, match colours and apply make-up. I believe that a woman can do anything she puts her mind to. The world of a man is less complicated and more practical when it comes to aesthetics. It definitely helped me to be more independent.”
