Congrats are in order for actress Salamina Mosese who recently graduated with a Regenesys Postgraduate Diploma in Business Management. The actress already holds a degree in Corporate Communications from the University of Johannesburg.
Mosese decided to study Business after launching Aza TV, a digital TV channel in 2015 with her business partner, actress Stephina Zwane. “I have to be honest, it was so hard, especially studying during the first year of a new business”, she said. Of course, starting any new business is difficult, however, Salamina now has business management experience from her degree to help her.
Before one starts a venture of their own, it is essential to know how to and what entity to register your business as, especially in a country like the USA. While many opt for C-corporations, start-up businesses tend to gravitate towards S-corporation or LLCs. As S-corporations tend to be pass-through entities, they are not liable to pay corporate tax. However, to register as an S-corporation, you would first need to meet certain requirements, following which you would need to file for IRS Form 2553. If you were a business owner, you could opt to look at various online resources to know more about how to file form 2553 online for your S-Corp election!
When running your own business, another important thing to do would be to get your name out there so that people start hearing about you. One way of doing this is through brand awareness. Qualtrics has a post about brand awareness, so some people may want to check this out to try and boost their brand awareness. Hopefully, Salamina will start looking into that soon.
“My friends often told me that there’s no problem in not completing it, but my husband kept pushing me. It was tough for him as well because I attended weekend classes and would need him to do small chores around the house and help out with our four-year old whenever I ran out of energy”, she told Destiny Connect.
The mommy of one is a girl on fire, she plans to do an MBA in several years’ time. With the level of knowledge and experience that she will have gained by then will put her in good stead when it comes to completing an MBA and growing a business that she may have established by then. She definitely has the credentials to do so, and all she would need to do is put these practices into action. From looking at how cheap merchant services can supplement your main processor to help you accept any form of payment, to effectively managing your employees, and checking that you have the right amount of stock in order to perform highly at all times, are all important factors that need to be considered when starting a business of your own.
By the time she completes her MBA, if this is something that she decides to do, she could be a very successful businesswoman, and this could only be the start. Talk about brains with beauty. She’s amazing.
