Life is full of changes. What works for you today might not be suitable five years down the road. Personal circumstances can shift dramatically ?" relationships change, family needs evolve, and new opportunities emerge. This is life, ever dynamic and unpredictable.
Meet Anlé, a remarkable woman I recently learned about online. Her journey of self-employment began in the early 1990s when she and her husband moved from South Africa to Germany. It was a daunting transition; while her husband quickly found work, Anlé struggled due to her limited German, knowing only a few basic phrases. Back in Africa, she had been a promotional and advertising manager for a major wholesale company. Now, she had to find a new path.
Searching for inspiration, Anlé turned to the internet and discovered Bizymoms.com, a site featuring stories of women running their own home businesses. "I couldn't stop reading," she recalls. "I decided that I, too, could start my own business."
Her first step was to identify a local need. At the time, English was becoming essential in Europe due to the opening of borders. Despite Afrikaans being her native language, Anlé was fluent in English. She took a five-day course to learn how to teach English as a second language, overcoming fears of inadequacy and language barriers. "I lost confidence in myself," she admits, recalling the difficulty of adapting to a new country. Yet, she persevered and ultimately mastered German.
After completing the course, Anlé advertised her new business in the local newspaper, unsure if there would be any interest. To her delight, clients began to reach out, and soon even large companies contacted her to teach their staff. "With determination and preparation, success is possible," Anlé asserts.
Later, when Anlé became a mother, she brought her son to her teaching sessions. However, as he grew older, she realized this was unfair to him, prompting a shift in her career once again. Returning to Bizymoms for ideas, she was inspired by stories of women opening daycares. Thus, she started "The Zwergenstübchen," a daycare that her son loved. "I learned so much from the children," she reflects fondly.
Life took another challenging turn when her husband suffered a serious accident, leaving him with a slim chance of walking again. Despite this, his optimism helped him recover, though it cost him his job. Anlé faced mounting debts and an unfinished house in the midst of winter. Yet, her resilience shone through.
Once more, she sought guidance from Bizymoms. She found advice to "do what you really love," leading her to embrace her passion for painting. Combining her love for art and family, she began drawing portraits, focusing first on her son. Her talent was undeniable, and she turned it into a successful business. "I can't wait to start each day," she says, now working on commissions with family and friends supporting her journey.
Anlé's son is particularly proud, enthusiastically sharing her business cards with friends. This networking led to additional commissions, showcasing another layer of support and pride in her work.
Determination and a positive outlook have been crucial to Anlé’s success. She embraces quotes like, "I always do the things that I can't do; that's how I get to do them," and "it's always too soon to quit."
Anlé’s story is a testament to the power of persistence, adaptability, and following one’s passion. You can explore her work at www.ass-atelier.de.
