Munguva yekukurukurirana ikoko, Janet akandipa basa uye akandipa mukana wekuona kuti zvinorevei kumhanya nekushanda mubhizinesi rinogara kwenguva refu. Ndichangobva kufona kuti ndiwane tii, ndakazopedzisira ndawana ruzivo rwakakosha. Ndakararama uye ndakaona kuti nzira iyi yekuita zvinhu inoshanda. Iye zvino, pandinenge ndichitaura nevanhu nezvekugara kwenguva refu, ndinogona kuti, 'Ehe, ndakashanda mukambani inoita izvozvo'. 

Pandakabva kuLittlePod, ndakapedza mwedzi mishoma ndichigadzira Heart Leaders. Chinangwa chiri pakuti zvinorevei kutungamira bhizinesi zvichibva pamoyo. Ndakapedza nguva ndiri muzvisikwa uye ndakazvipa zororo kubva kubasa uye zvinondikanganisa. Zvaive mufaro mukuru. Mushure mechiitiko chakanaka chekutanga, ndakasarudza kupa maworkshops uko vanhu vaigona kugadzira nzira dzekushambadzira dzakavakirwa pachinangwa netsika. Asi zvaiita sezvisina kutungamira chero kupi. Ipapo ndakazoona chikonzero. Vatungamiriri vemabhizinesi, sevanhu vazhinji, vari kutambura nekuwanda kwemashoko uye kuwedzeredzwa. Kune kumanikidzwa kwakawanda kwekuita, kuita, kuita uye kukura, kukura, kukura. Izvi hazvina kunaka kupasi redu kana kugara zvakanaka kwedu.

Nguva yangu kuLittlePod yakasimbisa pfungwa dzangu nezvekukosha kwechinangwa. Zvese ndezvekuziva chikonzero chako, sezvinoita Janet, uye kushandisa izvozvo sesimba rinokukurudzira. Pose pazvinooma, unogona kudzokera kuchinangwa chako wowana simba idzva. Zvakasimbisawo pfungwa dzangu pamusoro pezvinoreva kuva bhizinesi rinogara kwenguva refu. Unofanira kufunga nezvepurofiti - hongu - asi zvakare funga nezvevanhu vako uye wedzera iyo P yekuwedzera kune chinangwa. Kana chinangwa ichocho chiri kuvandudzwa kwemasango emvura paEquatorial Belt, sezvazviri paLittlePod, zvinoita kuti zvese zvive zvakakura kupfuura iwe pachako. LittlePod yakandibatsira kuona zvinhu nenzira yakasiyana. Yave ichibatsira zvikuru.

Ndanga ndichifunga nezvekuti ndingatsigira sei nzira itsva yekusvika pabhizinesi - kuti ndibve pane zvinogumira uye kubatikana kwepfungwa uye kuti ndibatane neuchenjeri, rugare uye kufamba kwekubudirira kunouya kuburikidza nekutungamira kubva pamoyo. Ndichatanga Heart Leaders 2.0 mugore Idzva uye ndinofara nezvandakachengetera muna 2026. Pandakabatana neuchenjeri hwemoyo wangu, mikana yakanaka yakazviratidza. Iye zvino ndiri mutungamiri wemodule yezvidzidzo zviviri paYunivhesiti yeExeter. Imwe yacho ndeyeGlobal Entrepreneurial Marketing.

LittlePod inotaura zvakananga nevarimi - hazvina kutora matanho matatu kana mana - uye, nemoyo wese, ndingati, 'taita mutsauko kuvanhu ava'. Izvozvo zvakakosha chaizvo, kunyanya kana uri munhu ane tsika dzakafanana neni.

Zvave zvichishamisa chaizvo kuva chikamu chekambani yakaita seLittlePod, kuiona ichishanda uye kuva muchikwata chevanhu vane chido chakadaro.

Kusangana nevanhu vanonakidza, kugamuchira maemail kubva kumativi ese epasi uye kushanda naRichard naPaul sechikamu chechikwata chakasimba, zvaive mufaro mukuru.
