It is truly an honor to be chosen among a group of inspiring new business owners. Some of you may know our story of being laid off in February and choosing to take a bet on myself. Read more here…https://www.dubsado.com/grant-finalist-fiona-nieman

What inspired you to start your business?

I’ve always had a vision of being my own boss, but for years, I worked as an employee under other people’s timelines, expectations, and goals. When I was laid off at the beginning of this year, I decided to see it as an opportunity — a launching pad to finally build something of my own. I founded Indaba Events to do what I love most — meeting and event planning — but this time, on my own terms.

Why do you believe people should bet on themselves and take the leap to start a business doing what they love?

Because the biggest risk is not trying. If you’ve been laid off or find yourself at a crossroads, take that as your sign. Find what you’re passionate about, what you’re good at, and dive in. The “what if” of never trying is far scarier than the possibility of failure.

If you are a small business, looking for a platform that manages your proposals, contracts, workflows, invoicing and more, consider Dubsado.
