Jy die entrepreneur: Wees betrokkeDAVID MALHERBE

Om ’n suksesvolle ondernemingte hê, moet jy fisiek daarby be-trokke wees.

Jy moet elke dag saam met jouwerkers daar wees, het EleanorSwart, eienaar van Alona FreshProduce in Botrivier, gesê nadat syas die beste vroue-entrepreneur indie kleinboer-kategorie aangewysis, berig Samantha van den Berg inDie Burger.

Verlede week het ek ’n strategiese beplan-ningsessie vir ’n familiebesigheid in dieNoord-Kaap aangebied.

Tydens ’n koffie-breek gesels ek met die eie-naar se seun wat na my mening, moontlik een-dag sy Pa se besigheid kan oorneem. Hy rekentoe ’n paar goeie bestuurders behoort hom in

staat te stel om net so af en toe sygesig by die besigheid te wys sodathy dan meer tyd op die gholfbaansou kon deurbring.

My reaksie was dat dit nie ’ngoeie idee is nie. Geen werknemerof bestuurder het dieselfde belangby die besigheid as die eienaar selfnie.

Twee weke gelede vertel ’n anderkonsultant my dat hy vir ’n ekstrainkomste ook ’n motorwasbesig-heid het wat deur ’n bestuurder be-

dryf word. Hy noem toe dat hy op ’n dag beginagterdogtig raak het oor die aantal motors watdaagliks gewas word en toe kameras laat in-stalleer het.

Nadat hy ’n klompie dae se videomateriaaldeurgewerk het, wys dit toe dat daar gemid-deld 6 tot 8 motors per dag meer gedoen wordas wat die bestuurder aanteken. Die spreek-

woord, “Ver van jou goed, naby jou skade” isinderdaad waar.

Dit is ongelukkig so dat daar altyd menseis wat dink hulle kan ’n klomp geld uit ’n besig-heid maak, sonder om self veel te doen. Mensewat so dink, leef in ’n droomwêreld en weetbeslis nie watter harde werk dit verg om ’nsuksesvolle entrepreneur te wees nie.

’n Bestuurder hou ’n besigheid se stelsels instand en sien toe dat alles reg verloop. Die rolvan die eienaar of entrepreneur is leierskap.Dit is sy/haar plig om nuwe projekte aan tepak en die besigheid te laat groei.

Daar is sekere verantwoordelikhede wat ’nbesigheidseienaar nie kan delegeer nie. Diewoordeboek is die enigste plek waar suksesvoor werk kom.* David Malherbe is ’n besigheids- en loop-

baankonsultant. Hy kan gekontak word:www.jedidiah.org.za of T/F 021 873 0262 of opFacebook by “Jy die Entrepreneur.”

Attorneys to draft wills for freeIt has become tradition over the past fewyears that members of the public will be ableto have a basic will drafted by an attorneyfree of charge as part of National Wills Weekform 15 to 19 September.

Law firms throughout the country are par-ticipating in the National Wills Weekproject.

“By ensuring that you have a valid will,you as the testator, can protect the interestsof your loved ones and ensure that there isno delay in settling your estate after yourdeath,” Law Society of South Africa (LSSA)co-chairpersons, Ettienne Barnard and MaxBoqwana, said in a statement.

“It also ensures that your executor will actaccording to your wishes as set out in yourwill.”

A valid will allows to state who should in-herit assets and property, to appoint an exec-utor of choice and also a guardian for minorchildren.

Persons who have been recently divorcedor widowed, or those who are cohabitatingwith their partners, should consider havinga will drafted. If you have been cohabitatingwith your partner, it is advisable to have awill to ensure that there are not competingclaims on your estate.

Similarly, unmarried persons, particular-

ly those who may have a number of peoplethat depend on them financially shouldensure they have a will in place, as severalpeople could make a claim on their estates.

During Wills Week, attorneys participat-ing in the initiative will display posterswith their contact details so the public canmake appointments with attorneys in theirarea.

A practising attorney has the necessaryknowledge and expertise to ensure that awill is valid by complying with all the legalrequirements in the Wills Act and also thatit complies with your wishes.

An attorney can also give advice regard-ing any problem which may arise with awill and assist your executor.

Often a will is not valid because theperson who drafts it does not have the nec-essary legal knowledge to ensure that theall the legal requirements of the Wills Actare met.

These include the fact that the will mustbe in writing, it must be signed by the testa-tor in the presence of at least two competentwitnesses, and also signed by the witnesses.

Dying without leaving a valid will, theassets will be distributed according to theprovisions of the Intestate Succession Act.

These provisions are generally fair andensure that the possessions are transferredto the spouse and children, siblings,parents and if required to the extendedfamily in terms of degrees of relationships.

Problems may arise if one dies withoutleaving a will such as assets may not be leftto the person of choice or there could beextra and unnecessary costs to name a few.

The contact details of all participatingattorneys can be accessed on the LSSAwebsite at www.LSSA.org.za or bycontacting the relevant provincial lawsociety.

For attorneys in the Western Cape call theCape Law Society at 021 443 6700 or call theLaw Society of South Africa at 012 366 8800.

Millions to fight abuseThe impact of women and child abuse onsocial wellbeing and our economy is stag-gering.

In a study conducted three years ago by theUniversityofKwaZulu-Natal, theaveragecostof each domestic violence incident wasR4 864,64 compared with an average monthlyincome of R3 393,28 re-sulting in a householddeficit of R1 471,36.

Aside from the mas-sive strain, caused byabsenteeism fromwork,Post Traumatic StressSyndrome (PTSD), de-pression or dissocia-tion, on an industry’sworkforce, the relianceon subsidised publichealthsystemsandserv-ices becomes even greater.

“Business can no longer sit back and donothing about an issue that not only affectscivilsociety,butoureconomyaswell.Wehaveto do more,” says George Grieve, managingdirector of Vital Health Foods, the companythat has leveraged its brand to focus on issuesrelated to women and child abuse.

Celebrating their first birthday this week,the Vital Foundation has achieved a target ofraising in excess of R3,9 million, largely be-cause of the overwhelming support they havereceived from the public following the initialR1makesadifferencecampaigninAugust lastyear. It is funded entirely by consumers of Vi-tal supplements; for every Vital supplementpack sold, R1 is donated to the Vital Founda-

tion.“The World Health Organisation (WHO)

classifies health as a state of complete physi-cal,mentalandsocialwellbeing,andnotmere-ly the absence of disease or infirmity, so theimperative is on us as a business, and againbusiness as awhole, to dowhatwe can for peo-ple on a mental and social level too,” com-

ments Grieve.With the rate of do-

mesticviolenceinSouthAfrica being among thehighest in the world, re-sulting in a workforceshaken by chronic fa-tigue; PTSD, depres-sion, sexually transmit-ted infections, loss ofconfidence as well asanxiety and stressaside from soaringmed-

ical costs and a drain on our public health sys-tem the Vital Foundation opens for fundingbiannually and pays out on a monthly basisto registered organisations focusing on issuesrelated to protection, prosecutionandpreven-tion of women and child abuse.Variousorganisationshavealreadybenefit-

ed from the first cycle of funding.“Our policy is such that after organisations

are invited to apply for funding, during twofunding application cycles a year, these appli-cationsare thenpresented to theboardof trus-tees for funding allocation,” comments And-readuPlessis, spokespersonof theVitalFoun-dation.Organisations are encouraged to apply on-

line by visiting www.vitalfoundation.co.za.

Rules for electrical safetyTo play it safe around yourhome, justremembertherulesfor using electricity the rightway.1. Don’t plug a bunch of stuff

into one outlet or extensioncord. It could damage the elec-trical system in your house oreven cause a fire.2. Make sure all electric

cords are tucked away, neat and tidy. Petsmight chew on electrical cords, and peoplemight trip and fall.3. Don’t ever climb the fence around an elec-

trical substation. If a ball or pet gets inside thefence, ask a grown-up to call an electrical com-pany – they’ll come and get it out for you.4.Don’tyankanelectricalcord fromthewall.Pulling on a cord can damage the appliance,

the plug or the outlet.5. Fly your kite far away from power lines
