Popular YouTuber Mpoomy Ledwaba recently started her morning on 959 Breakfast with Dineo Ranaka and Sol Phenduka.
Mpoomy Ledwaba has been thriving in the digital space for a while now.
Growing up, she had aspirations of becoming an accountant and didn’t think she’d end up being a leader in the digital space.
“I thought I was going to kill this accounting thing and I did. By matric, I went with 79 percent and I thrived even in varsity.
“I had a career in Investec as a banker – I knew that I had a future and while I spent my year there, I was like actually no.”
It was during that time that she realised what her calling was elsewhere.
“God speaks and I knew that I am in the wrong place. I got some good lessons. I found myself thinking of all my businesses while working. I also couldn’t be myself.”
Through her beauty business, Aneno Beauty, Mpoomy recognised how much she loves speaking, imparting knowledge, and listening to people’s stories.
On making her first million
By the time our guest was 27 years old, she had already made her first million.
“I take things very seriously,” she tells Dineo and Sol.
“Accounting played a huge role and growing up in a family where we are business orientated has been very helpful. Everything i get into is a business.”
She says in as much as there’s a lot of money to be made in the digital space, it’s about how much money one can save and invest.
