A KZN woman shared her story in a TikTok video of dropping out of university to become a successful business owner.
Uni dropout to business owner
Andile Mtolo decided to share her journey on TikTok, highlighting how her journey started. The entrepreneur started with just R5,000 from money she saved from online teaching. Even though she had little experience, she was determined to learn and grow. Now, after 12 months, she reflected on how far she came in a video.
Mtolo faced slow progress, unmet expectations, and the harsh realities of business. In December, she contemplated closing her business but decided to open BossUp Academy instead. Her goal was clear: she wanted to create a safe space for aspiring entrepreneurs to get help starting their businesses.

Her coaching business was scary, but her faith was stronger than her fear. In just seven months, her coaching significantly impacted Mzansi.
In an exclusive comment to Briefly News, Mtolo says:
"I knew that entrepreneurship would allow me my creative freedom without any limitations. Looking back now, I remember that even as a child I’d always say when I grow up, I want to become a business woman”.
"The risk has definitely started to pay off. Right after dropping out of my accounting course, the take off was very very slow.
"The beauty of entrepreneurship is that you can pivot as and when you see best. My pivot to helping others start their dream businesses is what has got me to where I am right now.
"The beauty of it all is that I’m working on relaunching my makeup line and also expanding to a new division with my coaching business. So yes, the risk has definitely started paying off!"
