Then today is THE day. Let’s go!
Guess what…you can!
Sounds great…Right!
Wow, are you excited yet?
Oh yes…that term again…. But read on
Creating and building a fashion business in Africa seems like the answer, but there’s a problem…
You just don’t know how to make it happen.
JOY is a present student of SPARK and also our membership club theFAMILY and she shares her experience and feedback undertaking the course.
Select the image and hear what she has to say here:
I RECOGNISE THAT you’re a creative and entrepreneur seeking to produce in Africa. You desire to expand your African sourcing strategy and don’t know how. You feel overwhelmed with where to produce in Africa and you feel lost in finding reliable partners to work with in Africa.
Maybe you’ve tried, but your endeavors never got past the “idea phase” because you lacked the steps and a strategy
Maybe you just couldn’t find a supplier to execute your idea and samples made were badly fitted with terrible finishes
Maybe you’re just learning about entering Africa and feel overwhelmed by all its 54 countries.
Maybe you’re simply concerned because you do not have any fashion experience, background or industry contacts
Maybe you have no idea where to start and kick of your business – which country, what product, or who to work with.
Sometimes, you wonder if it’s even possible for you!
Beat that overwhelm from not knowing what business to set up, because SPARK. advises you how to select the RIGHT country, to create the RIGHT product and to work with the RIGHT partners? ✔
Quit second guessing yourself and run your business with ease? ✔
Gain a clear roadmap blueprint on how to bring your Fashion Made in Africa vision to fruition?✔
Have a unique strategy to set up your African fashion business with ease, support and accountability and create a positive impact in the world through your business? ✔
Save yourself money from working with the wrong, dishonest and unprofessional suppliers – who make bad quality badly fitting samples because I will show you how to find the best on the continent for your product who have experience, have been vetted and will give you a quality service? ✔
Beat the confusion you have with the fashion supply chain and Its terminology by tapping into my 20 years industry experience provided to build this training? ✔
Have a network of other likeminded creative entrepreneurs to keep you motivated and encouraged along your business development thus reducing the isolation of working alone? ✔
Have your dream business up and running to stop wishing and learn just how to grow and develop it in as little as THREE months! ✔
ALL THIS IS 100% POSSIBLE FOR YOU. My students are doing it, and you can do it too.

Q. I’ve done coaching programs before, and never finish them or have success with them. Is this right for me?
A. Many would say you get out what you put in yet also many programs can cause overwhelm but with SPARK it can be done at your own pace so there is no pressure. You also benefit by being in a private facebook support community where I jump in bi-monthly for Q&As and to bring guests in to support you, so you will gan the support you need to overcome your hurdles, obstacles and smash that finish goal!

A. How does “forever” sound! You’ll have lifetime access to the content inside the training, plus all future updates.
Q. What format is the training delivered in?
A. The course materials are shared as pre-recorded video lessons and step-by-step video tutorials by industry experts on the field. You’ll also receive worksheets, checklists, done for you PDF templates and more. As soon as you enrol, you’ll get instant access to all of the content.
Q. Will I get any personal support?
A. Being an online support it is available for you to access at your leisure at your own pace. It is a self study course. There is a live aspect through the bonus of a private facebook group that I will do regular live trainings in to support your journey and invite industry experts to as well.
Q. What if I am a newbie in fashion. I'm worried because I don’t have any design skills or fashion experience – will this still work for me?
A. Then you are perfect for this! Seriously! We were all newbies at one point! You are at the perfect place to start because you will learn from the mistakes I made so you don’t have to make them yourself! This program can save you from doing things the wrong way… and knowing that can save you a ton of money and time in the long run! Seriously, this is the program I wish I had when I first started! SPARK will equip you with the tools you need to set up your African fashion business.

A. If you have just changed your mind then. No refunds will be given. You will absolutely get out what you put in so if you follow the exact steps that I show you, you absolutely WILL have created results within just 8 weeks! I only offer a money back guarantee if any part of the product or service sold is faulty. Overall I am 100% committed to having your back & making sure you start and complete the process so you can go ahead and make a PROFIT doing what you love. So if you follow the strategies laid out for an entire 8 weeks and you’re not satisfied with your results, submit all your work for us to review. Upon review, we will:
1) Provide personalized feedback so you can improve your approach
2) Issue a full refund if for some reason we believe we cannot help you get the success you want
Q. Do I have to complete the training within a certain time? Can I complete it later?
A. Great question! You do not need to complete the training within a certain time. We will of course be following a roadmap – the blueprint guide and you can go back and forth through the notes and recordings at your leisure. It’s fast paced but you are welcome to dive into the content whenever works best for you. Plus, you have lifetime access to the content so you can revisit it at anytime.
Q. Will this training work for me?
A. I wish I could tell you that without a doubt, SPARK will work for you, but I can’t. There is no wand to wave or magic pill that will bring you business success. You absolutely get out what you put in and I have put in a lot to help you make it the rest is up to you.
