“I give all glory to God for the great things He has done in my life and for allowing me to recognize the potential I had hidden inside of me. As they say your present situation does not determine your future and I am a living testimony of this. It’s always better to trust, pray and wait and He will definitely come through. If He can do it for me then He’s able to do it for anybody else.”
These are the words of 27-year-old Colleen Osborne, a resilient young woman who has just embarked on her entrepreneurial journey by starting her own Christmas Cleaning Business. Osborne is not your average entrepreneur. Hers is an uplifting story, filled with inspiration, determination, faith, and recognizing hidden potential.
The mother of three told Stabroek News that the idea for her business came to her during a period of difficulty and uncertainty. As a result of her lack of employment and the fact that she had a lot of spare time on her hands, she had a strong desire to help other people and start her own business. As the holiday season drew near, she came to the realisation that launching her own Christmas Cleaning Business would not only satisfy her desire for personal fulfilment but also deliver a community requirement.
