Reflections of the PDM Entrepreneurship- Monday 19 August 2013


It is a few days after launch, the pinnacle event of the diploma, aside from graduating. I began this diploma after graduating from an undergraduate degree at age 22. I wasn’t interested in studying further in the field of science and was fed up with all the theory! I didn’t feel ready to start working and had no idea what I would do anyway. This course offers a practical component alongside theory and a completely different approach to anything I had experienced, which is why I decided to do it.

In all honesty, it is probably the best decision I have ever made. The theory got heavier and the pace faster, but in a unique, fun and sometimes alternative approach. I could list the things I have learnt and it would be endless. Every day brings a new opportunity, challenge, experience and lesson. The reflections that have come to me over the last month are the value of networking, seizing each opportunity as if they will never ever exist again and committing to a life of continuous change in which you are adapting, learning and developing.



I am still unsure of where the journey will take me, but am certain that the lifestyle of an entrepreneur and culture of entrepreneurship and start-ups is the right space for me as a young, dynamic and motivated South African woman.
