365 days ago, I was working as a Marketing Manager for three years, planning to grow even more in the corporate world, all while running my "side hustle," Suitable Focus At the start of this year, I had been retrenched and had to make my "side hustle" my main focus. I’ve always been the kind of person who gives 1000% to everything I do, and these past nine months have been no different. Running my business full-time has been an amazing journey and a blessing in many ways. I’ve had the chance to work with amazing clients, partners, and most importantly like-minded individuals. This week, I (we) reached a massive milestone: by completing a national tour for Suitable Focus’s first-ever independent event, the Let’s Elevate: Tangible Way Series 🇿🇦 A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in each city, to our sponsors, and to everyone who helped make this possible. Here’s to moving forward and growing stronger. ONLY GOD! 🙌
