Moeng sets eyes on her vision

Through determination, hardwork and perseverance, Kesego Moeng found a niche in the events management market to bring professional solutions and generate income. Her business, Vision Bound (Pty) Ltd offers professional services, including professional ushering, event management, brand management and advertising. She told the Business Trends that she decided to venture into this business because she is so passionate about serving people and offering professional etiquette. She worked as a waitress and as a front desk officer for three years apiece, then started a company after a few months of being unemployed. “I did not perform well in my BGCSE in 2011 and my parents refused to pay for my supplement exams. I was motivated to look for a job and raise money for myself. The only job I could do then was being a waitress since I did not even have my certificate yet. I was lucky to have been given an opportunity which I took with determination, dedication and worked so hard because I hated to fail again,” she said. Starting up the business was not difficult and she only invested P8000 and has never required funding from any financial institution. However, she said building a brand requires patience and perseverance and hard work. “There is a lot of competition in the market but I was so determined and confident that I could offer the best services to corporates, government and individuals. When I do the work I do it beyond expectation. I started with the little I had and I am growing daily,” she said. Moeng said her business is different from others as she offers services, which most event planners always forget. “People always forget the aspect of taking care of guests and participants. It is not just about ushering them to a seat but they need to be shown that they are important.” She said.
