Lynda Smith, a pioneering online community builder for the 50plus generation who want to make an impact — Lionesses of Africa

Share a little about your entrepreneurial journey. And, do you come from an entrepreneurial background?

Yes I have always been an entrepreneur. I have started several businesses during my 40 years in the workplace. I have been part of 4 national teams in South Africa and enjoy working with a small team to design and develop social solutions.

What are your future plans and aspirations for your company?

We are in the early stages and would love to see our community growing across each community in South Africa and beyond. We believe we have a model that can be duplicated and can make a significant difference to individuals as well as communities.

What gives you the most satisfaction being an entrepreneur?

I love to see our members reimagine their future and discover what it is that the future holds for them. Discovering one’s purpose in the second half of life is critical to happiness and financial well-being.

What’s the biggest piece of advice you can give to other women looking to start-up?

Surround yourself with a strong network of people and take the time to build relationships that matter. Our relationships are an asset that stays with one throughout your life.
