Wakanaka Business Solutions
Have you ever had a preconceived notion of what it means to be an entrepreneur only to discover that your path to success could be entirely different? That's the story of my entrepreneurial journey and it all began with a twist of fate.
I used to believe that being an entrepreneur meant selling products like clothes, perfumes, or the famous local word .. makwebo:· However, my life took an unexpected turn when my last employment contract came to an end and I found myself pregnant with a complicated pregnancy. It took a while to get back to my normal self after giving birth and I realized that a full-time job wasn't the best option for me at that point.

Fast forward three years and Wakanaka Business Solutions is thriving. I’m providing remote administrative support to busy executives, helping them manage their entrepreneurial dreams, and offering top-notch CV services. Additionally, I create presentations and profiles for small businesses, assisting them in standing out from the competition.
