CELEBRATING WOMEN IN BUSINESS
W
omen wear many hats – mother, wife,
daughter, employee, friend, household
manager, cook, nursemaid, to name a few. While
we are so busy running around juggling the
numerous responsibilities in our lives, we often
forget to take some time to look after ourselves
and to de-stress.
So how can women find ways to cope?
1) Eat well and exercise. Healthy food means a
healthy, strong body with more energy. It also
means good mental health which results in better
coping skills.
2) Delegate. Share the household chores. Ask for
help if you need it. Don’t try and do it all!
3) Get organised. As much as possible, plan
your week. Make a to-do list. It helps to get
things done and prevents you from forgetting
tasks.
4) Socialise. Keep in touch with friends - meet
up for coffee or have a monthly girls’ night.
Women enjoy talking to and confiding in their
girlfriends. It’s therapeutic and advice from
friends can help with problem-solving.
5) Limit social media. Take a break from
Facebook, Twitter, What’s App and email. It
becomes an addiction and eats away at your
time. Spend the time on a hobby, go for that
manicure, go for a walk on the beach or play
with the kids.
Remember, if you are not taking care of
yourself first, you won’t be able to effectively
take care of everyone else in your life.
Women and Safety
• If walking by yourself, always be aware of your surroundings. Avoid being distracted by
talking on your cell phone.
• If someone tries to grab you, don't be a hero, rather turn around, run and yell, "Help!" Do
anything you can to draw attention to yourself.
• When asking for directions and someone offers to show you the way by having you follow
them, do not go. Just ask them to point you in the right direction.
• You return to your car and it has a flat tyre. Back away, return wherever you came from
(restaurant, store, etc) and call for help.
• Always park in well - lit areas if you plan to arrive, leave after dark and be sure to locate
your keys prior to going to your car.

Recipe, Food, Catering
BUTTERNUT, SWEET POTATO
AND BLAAUWKRANTZ SALAD
SERVES 6-8
1 BUTTERNUT
2 medium sized SWEET POTATOES
45ml OLIVE OIL
5-10ml GROUND CINNAMON
30ML HONEY
5ml GROUND CUMIN (OPTIONAL)
1-2 packets BABY SPINACH LEAVES
125gr BLAAUWKRANTZ
1 large RED ONION, SLICED
BALSAMIC VINEGAR
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Peel the butternut and sweet potatoes into cubes.
Place in a roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil and honey and
sprinkle with ground cinnamon and cumin (if used). Mix through.
Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes until the vegetables are
tender but still crunchy. Leave to cool in a pan.
Arrange spinach leaves on a platter and top with baked
vegetables, sliced onion and Blaauwkrantz.
Drizzle with Balsamic Vinegar before serving or serve vinegar separately.
Other serving suggestion:
Prepare the vegetables as above, but leave out the onion
and the spinach leaves. Crumble the Blaauwkrantz over the
hot vegetables and serve as an accompaniment to roast or a
braai. Also perfect as a vegetarian dish.

Winter Health Boosters: Sweet Potato and Butternut
Super Sweet Potato
The humble sweet potato is very versatile – bake in its’ jacket, mash it up or make as a dessert.
They are heart-healthy and a great source of:
1) Vitamin C – great for winter to keep the immune system strong.
2) Vitamin B6 which helps to reduce the risk for heart attacks.
3) Fibre. They contain up to twice as much fibre as any other potato.
4) Potassium which helps to lower blood pressure.
Bravo for Butternut! A wonderful winter vegetable packed with great health benefits.
1) Rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants and found to have anti-inflammatory properties.
2) As with sweet potato, also a good source of potassium and Vitamin B6.
3) Contains carotenoids (alpha-carotene and beta-carotene) which form part of Vitamin A
and are good for healthy eyes and skin.
4) Another brilliant source of fibre and keeps you feeling full for longer.
DID YOU KNOW: Butternut is technically a fruit because it contains seeds.

LEADING YOUR BUSINESS SUCCESSFULLY THROUGH THE "WINTER" SEASON
by Denzel p Smit
So it's that "time" of the year that business is slow.....for some. The time when we hear sayings like:
"business is normally slow in winter" or " its our slow season". Yet, for others it's..."business as usual". So
the questions is: "How can it be business as usual for some all year long and others have seasons?" I have
come to learn and understand that in order to conduct business as usual, whatever business one is in,
you have to do..
SOMETHING UNUSUAL! What worked yesterday, will not necessarily work today. Our businesses, like
most things in life, are affected by daily circumstances. We therefore have to be proactive and dare
not wait until "winter" is upon us. In fact, we know already, that next year, this time, IT WILL BE WINTER
AGAIN.
So we have choices, we can either wait and hibernate like the bear or we can do something different like
the ant. Isn't winter time a good time to "stay in-doors"? This does not mean that we have to hibernate,
rest or simply just be lazy. This is the best time to ask: " Why am I inside while others are out making
money? What am I not doing that they are?" Surely by now we all know that we cannot be doing the
same things over and over and expect different results.... So let's start using our good times and then
make time to prepare for our "bad" times. Ask questions like: "What am I not doing, that I could be
doing differently, Why am I not doing what I could be doing differently, What will I gain, if I do things
differently?" You'll be amazed at how winter times in your business will be transformed into summer
times as you, lead your business from wherever you are!
