The Learning Curve Podcast - THE Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs in the Middle East.
In a world where inefficiency can be costly here is a lady who has built her business success of business outsourcing on great advise she received from her mum. Her mum said, 'success is built on systems, efficiency and economies'. This key advise has helped her and her partner build a group of businesses that focuses on scalability,creating efficiencies, streamlining processes and helping people save money. Anna Heystek is a serial entrepreneur and a business enabler. She has the gift to see where there is a problem and when she sees it, she makes it her mission to fix the problem and make it an efficient working entity again. She loves everything to do with systems, processes, technology, people and people behaviour and loves to take away the pain from people's operational processes. But the journey there hasn't been smooth. She's made mistakes, and had failures but she gets up and does it all again, with all that knowledge and her learning curve tucked in her pocket. Anna is an inquisitive and driven women who aspires to be a coach and empower people to reach their full potential. She reads lots and has been criticised for being too futuristic with things she wants to implement but like some of her business idols she is full throttle with her passion to build businesses that serve and focus on knowing now what we can do tomorrow.
