Season's greetings and a warm welcome to our long-awaited fourth issue! We're aware that it's a bit<br />
overdue, and we appreciate your patience. As a passion project, <strong>Pivotl</strong> sometimes takes a back seat<br />
when life throws challenges our way, but we're thrilled to present this issue, packed with stories that<br />
we hope will inspire and uplift.<br />
In our "Business in Focus" segment, we have the pleasure of introducing you to two dynamic women<br />
shaping the business landscape in unique ways. Meet Genevieve Allen, the mastermind behind Club<br />
Engage, South Africa's go-to childcare solution.<br />
Next, step into the inviting space of Our Movement Studio in Randpark Ridge, Johannesburg. This studio<br />
is a haven where movement aligns seamlessly with life. Learn from Carol Treherne-Thomas as she shares<br />
the inspiring journey of bringing this wonderful space to life.<br />
In "Business Beat," we tackle the <strong>2023</strong> burnout blitz and provide strategies for conquering year-end stress<br />
to ensure peak performance. If retirement plan blues are on your mind, fret not! Our guide in the same<br />
section shows you how to adjust your plan like a pro. And in "Unlocking business success through BNI," we<br />
delve into the power of building relationships and referrals as keys to entrepreneurial success.<br />
"Property Matters" explores the eternal dilemma of whether to buy or rent, offering real advice for those<br />
navigating the property market.<br />
As always, we want to hear from you! If you have a story to share, please reach out. Additionally, consider<br />
