Siboniso Ginindza developed an interest in IT from a young age and took online classes in web development. While working as a teacher, Ginindza came up with an idea for software to generate student reports, which several teachers liked. However, after two years of development, Ginindza realized many schools already had similar software. The document then provides tips for overcoming obstacles to turning an idea into a business, such as identifying self-limiting beliefs, developing the idea, expanding influence, having a plan and research, finding the right partners, speaking to decision makers, validating the market, adapting to customer needs, and having a business plan.
