THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE BEAUTY OF THEIR DREAMS SHOULD FOLLOW THEM. I joined INUKA on 19 April 2019 after watching Zukhanye Zonke posting her INUKA achievements on Facebook for almost two years. I was wondering why I am not also joining INUKA and why Zukhanye is not approaching me to join her network. I took leave from my permanent job and went to her workplace to sign me up. I have always been a hustler who has been part of various network marketing businesses and selling clothes from local factory shops and clothes sourced from other countries. I never made it far with previous business adventures and I vowed to make INUKA work for me. INUKA was a dream come true. I always wanted to travel the world and with INUKA, I now also had the opportunity to work towards achieving the travel challenges. HOW DO YOU PLAN ON GROWING YOUR BUSINESS TO DOUBLE DIAMOND STATUS? Understanding the INUKA Business as stipulated in the Business Guide and recruiting are the very critical steps in moving to the next level. While trying to get more Members on board, I also need to strengthen and nurture my existing Members and continuously revive their purpose in business. It is easy to lose focus. To nurture my current team, I stay in contact with them via various media platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and face to face meetings. I also use social media to promote and expand my INUKA Business to other provinces and countries. I encourage and invite potential new entrepreneurs and existing members to attend events to build stronger relationships. I will continue marketing my INUKA Business to everyone I come across. I also often invite other INUKA Leaders to come and present and inspire my team.
easily, but rather craft a plan that will work best for me. I am never comfortable with what I have and always aim for the next level. When I fall, I bounce back. The INUKA incentives always make me push forward. When I achieved the INUKA International Trip to Turkey within seven months it made me realize that nothing is impossible when you believe you can do it. My team is also my source of inspiration. They always surprise me. At times they are quiet, but the results tell a different story. I am super proud of them.
annual challenges to create a shared understanding of what is required of us individually and collectively. We plan and create a platform to have conversations about new ideas and approaches to achieve the incentives. I encourage my team to also attend the quarterly events and bring back the lessons and experiences. I encourage my team to invest more time, energy and to never give up on their dreams. HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE YOUR GROUP AND STAY IN TOUCH WITH EVERYONE IN THE GROUP? My success in business depends on my strong leadership skills. Our INUKA slogan, “We Value, Encourage and Empower the Lives We Touch”, is the foundation of my business success that keeps the team together. Every Member that joins my INUKA Business is appreciated and valued, not only in terms of productivity, but their general well-being as well. I encourage every Member that joins the business to reach their goals. I assist with their new potential recruits when they are still not confident enough to explain the business. I focus on their dreams and goals. We work towards their aspirations and I achieve my goals by default. We need each other in this business. I am because of who they are. I offer training continuously, so that my team does not get lost during the initial stages of their business. I also encourage them to introduce their own team so that they can get confident and grow their own successful business. I work closely with all the Members, encourage them to look beyond the current situation and believe in themselves. I encourage my team to dream big and to chase their dreams by taking bold steps. DO YOU HAVE A ROLE MODEL AND IF SO, WHY IS THIS PERSON YOUR ROLE MODEL? There can never be another person to look up to than ME: I am a hardworking, loving, and caring person. I draw my strengths and inspiration from my mother who raised 9 children alone as a domestic worker. I salute you mamNcobeni, Allison. TO MY FAMILY AND KIDS, I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.
HOW DO YOU PUSH THROUGH YOUR MOST DIFFICULT TIMES?
Tough times never last, but tough people do - Robert Schuller
The Status came at the most difficult time when the world was down on its knees with COVID-19. I used every opportunity to strengthen the bond between myself and the team and we supported each other. Together, we managed to find strength through the pain of losing our loved ones and family losing their jobs. I instilled a positive mental attitude that this too will pass and INUKA will always be there for all of us to realize our dreams and goals, despite all odds. August 2020 was my most challenging month, but I rose to the highest level. My philosophy has always been tough times will never last, but tough people do. There was no better time to witness that again in my INUKA Business journey. We can plan, but God’s timing is always perfect. My team stood strong, like bamboo during a hurricane, and we bounced back. HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE YOUR TEAM TO WORK FOR THE INUKA QUARTERLY AND ANNUAL INCENTIVES? After two months into my INUKA business, I attended the 2019 Annual Gala Recognition Event in Johannesburg, which is a decision I would never regret. My business success was drawn from that event. I was inspired by other people’s achievements. I took that excitement and success stories home and shared this with my team. I always lead by example. I work towards achieving every INUKA incentive and I never expect Members to do things that I do not achieve myself. Furthermore, I conduct training sessions for the team so that we can be on the same level of understanding. On a quarterly basis, I set clear goals and objectives for my team. I clarify and explain the quarterly and
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR GREATEST STRENGTH?
Nothing happens by chance but by choice. For this reason, I choose to be a SUPERHERO.
My greatest strength is coming from within. I have a conquering spirit and an “I -Believe- I -Can” attitude. My life, in general, has been characterized by perseverance, resilience, and a passion for everything I endeavour. I am very passionate and confident about my INUKA Business. Understanding the dynamics of this business, helped me to achieve every incentive that INUKA launches. When I set my eyes on INUKA challenges, I do not get distracted
