Here's how we know it works

A man, who had a successful job was faced with a dilemma one day, when he had to make the decision of leaving his job to help his parents run his family-business which was in trouble or stay at his successful job and continue to live the comfortable life he was living. He was the eldest son and felt an obligation or duty to take care of his family as many of us find ourselves in today. He decided to take the risk and left his job, with a stable income, to help his family in need. They had a panel beating ship in their dad's back yard at the time. He focused on making sales and marketing his business to ensure they were doing as much to promote their business services so they could have income coming to sustain the business and eventually do more than manage to cover costs. They preserved and kept focus on their goals. Today, they have highly successful companies and have manage to establish good principles. He made a pledge to help businesses to grow so they don’t have to face they same struggles on their own and in return we can all contribute towards eradicating the social ills in our economy. This man is David Venter, the President of the IEDF, whose vision is to help every informal and micro business to grow.
