The Biggest Obstacles I Had To Overcome

The Biggest Obstacles I Had To Overcome

My biggest obstacles were financial. I had to somehow create backup capital to be able to
venture into the unknown. The risk of having no income was a big reality to me, as I had
two boys by the time I went on my own. So I needed a salary from day 1. This obstacle
was overcome by saving a portion of my salary since I started my business thinking. By
the time I was ready, I had enough capital to survive for three to six months. I also
managed the salary issue, by improving my relationship with the company I worked for. I
made myself a very important part of their project (Which I knew would last for a few
years) to the extend that when I left, they already promised to their clients I'd be part of the
project even though only as a contractor.

About The Author


Henk Boshoff
(Visit Henk Boshoff's Website) Henk started his career with a diploma in electrical engineering. He then worked as an electronic lab and production line technician gaining valuable experience on manufacturing and testing processes. During this time he obtained his BTech degree in Engineering at the Tswane University of Technology. Soon afterwards he obtained a Bsc(Honours) degree from the University of Pretoria.. This allowed him to move into an engineering position where he spent 6 years on electronic hardware and software designs focusing mainly in data communications and data communication protocols. During this period he obtained his MSc from the University of Pretoria. His mini thesis provided a new method of investigating organisational learning capability and the management style requirements to achieve it. With the help of a case analysis it showed that the organizational structure and culture generates a feedback cycle, which can be used as a baseline for future organizational learning. The MSc allowed him the opportunity to move onto engineering management projects. Henk then ventured on his own by starting the company S-Curve technologies, which is currently 8 months old.
