Eight Inspiring Stories of Eight South African Start Up Businesses

23 June 2013 By admin

This week the TrepEdu brand launched the first of its products, the Start Up to Stars book. This book is the first of a series of books that will profile start up businesses in South Africa with the aim of inspiring other entrepreneurs.

The book tells a story of eight South African start ups and captures some strategic moves they had to make in order to overcome the challenging survival phase. The stories are told through the voice of author, Sibusiso Nkosi, in a heartfelt manner and capture’s the uneasy road these start ups had to travel.

This book features the story of Wandile, a young lady who experienced rape twice and turned her experiences into a business that motivates others to believe in themselves. It also features the story of Tracy Ray Gore, an upcoming Cape Town designer who started her business with only five rands. The story of Sabelo who looked beyond his poor background after struggling to find a sustainable job and started a cleaning services company is also featured in the book.

You can also read the stories of the owners of Summertime, Your Name Here Productions, ShiftApps, LIA Network and Lisanele investments. Their inspirational stories look at the risks they took to build these brands.

The book is developed in a CliqueBuk format, a concept by a digital content development and dissemination corporation called Ukondla under its Deegypro products. It is the first CliqueBuk produced by the company since it developed the concept in March 2013.

The CliqueBuk format can be read on any computer with a web browser since the viewing of such books takes place on the web browser, however internet connection is not required to read the book. This format provides pleasurable viewing and quick navigation of the book.

This partnership with Ukondla will see TrepEdu releasing a few more series of Start Up 2 Stars books and resource CDs that are aimed at providing helpful content to entrepreneurs in South Africa.

TrepEdu first came onto the scene when it held its first seminar titled “Own Your Success and themed Fail Your Way to Success” on the 16th of March 2013. The seminar received media coverage from one of the biggest breakfast shows in Africa; Good Morning Africa.
