Its a new week and the general feeling after our final board meeting with our directors is to close the business and divide the remaining stock amongst the shareholders. I feel that the directors have been very helpful in giving us the needed business guidance we were all in need of. The insight from our directors gave ORA Hygiene an informed perspective on how things really work in the real world.
For me, the biggest contribution from directors was from Mike Darby our Social Project director that put us in contact with Warren from Seven Stars Retail in Johannesburg which I personally had a meeting at their offices in Johannesburg. As much nothing tangible was gained from the meeting there were lots of intangible lessons learnt from the experience that I will use for many years to come.
I believe that the kind of mentorship that directors gave was critical in many respects and such models should be encouraged in informal situations where there are aspiring entrepreneurs in places like townships and rural areas.
