A young businesswoman’s decision to share the secrets behind her seven-figure success captivated social media, turning her into an instant source of entrepreneurial inspiration.
The clip, shared on TikTok by @meloh_phantapreneur, garnered widespread admiration and support from the online community.
The entrepreneur, TikTok user @meloh_phandapreneurwho, outlined five core strategies she used to build her cleaning business into a success. Her first strategy was to reduce her start-up costs.

The five business strategies the entrepreneur explained
Her second crucial move was to stay at school, which allowed her to stay in school while growing her business. She strategically completed her Honours degree while building her brand, using the campus as a ready-made source of customers and relying on word-of-mouth to grow her reputation. The third step involved continuously refining her branding. She revealed that, in the first two years, she changed her logo three times, focusing on establishing a stronger brand identity that would earn customer trust.

The fourth, and most important, financial principle was ploughing all profits back into the business. She ensured that she did not use any of the business's profits for herself for at least the first two years by waitressing on the side to cover her personal needs. Finally, she focused on product research, constantly learning to limit mistakes on clients’ shoes, which helped her build her business over time.
