How many near-death experiences can one business survive?
My next guest is putting that question to the test!
Jonathan Kropf decided to leave his successful corporate career when he jokingly suggested that a friend of his give him startup capital instead of investing it in an ice-cream business.
Kropf took that million-rand investment and started Velocity Group fifteen years ago. The business turned a profit almost immediately and Kropf and his partners decided to expand into Africa through a single large client.
As the profit rolled in, so too did his confidence and his hunger to start new businesses and continue to prove himself as a seasoned repeat entrepreneur. These distractions continued over the years and each one ended in a different disaster and new lesson for him and his business.
Jonathan’s story is one filled with determination, imposter syndrome and many repeated failures that led him to the successful business that he is now expanding globally.
