You will never know if you can excel at something until you try.

These are the words of Queentaline ||Hoëbes, a businesswoman who, at the tender age of 16, started her business and is now encouraging those who want to become entrepreneurs.

||Hoëbes says her business journey started when her father lost his job, and she was then left with no option but to make ways to sustain herself.

She started her business with as little as a thousand dollars, with the help of different online applications.

||Hoëbes, who started selling hair and lipstick, always believed that she was born to be a businesswoman.

"You should always be prayerful; you know you try; people think that everyone is doing this and that we cannot do it; there is a big market. It is Namibia. You can sell anything."

As her business grew, ||Hoëbes started training other women on how to start a business and how to order products from other countries to sell.

Narrating her entrepreneurship journey, she says business has its ups and downs; however, she did not suffer as her mother assisted her.

Along the way, she faced challenges such as delayed stock; however, she made sure that she built a good relationship with her customers.
