According to her, Her start off point was not too convincing in terms of yielding good prospects, but she was keen in getting good results from the small she had.

“I started at the very basic and that is the module I have kept and practised over the years. We really never needed to raise capital. It’s been basically about re-investing in my business and not taking much money out…. we started very small and very basic and we only spent on things that were really necessary and not things we would like to have.” she said.
