We continue to strive to create a better and safer co-retail space for our entrepreneurs housed at the DreamHub and better shopping experience for our clients.
Covid-19 and the life of intermittent lockdowns we foresee are beyond the control of anyone. Businesses are also having to adapt to new systems. Economies are learning how to navigate business life and business challenges as they hit us. However through those challenges moments of inspiration hit as well, and we invest in the hope of success ahead.
We have always believed in using what we have within our reach and we are excited to see the completed renovations of our new shop space. Thanks to our investors who believe in our mission as a co-retail hub, for sponsoring this improvement.
HATICHEUKE!

Our DreamHub Lead Linda K Sibs had an opportunity to share her entrepreneurial journey on the @MentorshipZim page on twitter on Thursday, June 25. Follow the link - https://twitter.com/mentorshipzim/status/1276098159664599040?s=21 if you didn’t manage to catch it then.
Her thread was filled with insightful and truthful highs and lows of a young Zimbabwean entrepreneur. The thread managed to capture the attention of Vusi Thembekwayo and he not only read through it, but he left a comment as well!
In Linda’s words, “Entrepreneurship is not taught, it is experienced”. Her unfiltered experience left many inspired and encouraged. It also opened up doors to some collaborative works we will be engaged in as the DreamHub
Well done Linda!

ZIMBABWE STARTUPS AND SMALL BUSINESS IN THE COVID19 TIMES
Like every enterprise and individual out there COVID-19 took us all by surprise. It instantly put a halt on all our business and personal plans as a matter of safety. As DreamHub one of our most exciting objectives this year is partnering with agro-financers and a corporate to support and enhance Agripreneurs. Providing this sector with agribusiness training, value-addition initiatives and various extension activities with the agriculture industry professionals in our network.
We are genuinely excited and anticipating to roll out this program and supporting the young agripreneurs in the DreamHub network when it is safe to do so. Agriculture is an essential service to fight hunger regardless.
1. TAKE TIME TO THINK BEFORE YOU REACT, CONSERVE RESOURCES
After a few weeks into lockdown Robin and I decided to re-look our plans and we asked ourselves, we didnt want to be rushed into making a decision that wasnt well thought out.
"What do we have, what is it that is in our hands that we can use with regards to our plans?”
You see that is the unique aspect of DreamHub, we too are Zimbabwean entrepreneurs who intimately understand the challenges and are too directly affected by the business environment and we have to always think on our feet and adapt with wisdom to keep pressing on with our dreams.
So what do we have? Is the question we asked ourselves. How can we avoid wasting the resources we have in uncertain times?
I (Linda K Sibs) realised that I have unused patches of land at home and as well as a borehole. Making this a great opportunity to also test our theories and have a sample site for training. Our program activities will involve a lot of PRACTICAL lessons in the field (literally), training with a lot of hand holding and walking through with each agripreneur from pre-planting preparations right to post-harvest management. What better way to teach about small scale home farming, than from a point of experience.
I decided to practically carry out the plans we had in preparation for the DreamHub:Agripreneurship program. This will also help in building our modules for training for non-farmers/new farmers who want to secure food provision for both home and for sale. Opening our empowering training to the community in food and income provision. Tomatoes came to mind because of low cost to start and the demand as they make a popular ingredient in local relishes. A seemingly manageable vegetable for a non-farmer like me to experiment with. The soils took root (pun intended) of them and we will have a plan to dry them in case they flood the market, (preplanning for the in case of such a risk) as part of our value-addition initiative that is a strong component of our DreamHub - Agripreneurship program.
2. IMPROVE YOUR CURRENT ASSETS
We have also continued with our renovations at DreamHub, converting poorly utilised space and adding more value for our business activities. Our renovation expert Robin has already started part of the work.
We suggest you clean up an unused garage, balcony or extra room and figure out how to use the space either as an office or production/processing of your goods and services.
3. BE FLUID AND ADAPT LIKE WATER
We took time out, we accepted that COVID-19 was beyond us and nothing about it was within our sphere of control, we were overwhelmed by sadness on some days and we allowed ourselves as a team to feel and express all we needed to concerning the effect of the pandemic on the DreamHub.
However through honestly admitting to ourselves that we had no clue on a way forward and not succumbing to social media pressures of seemingly having our hub activities all figured out, we managed to successfully re-evaluate our plans and we now have a general positive out look on how our initial 2020 plans will continue.
WE WILL BE FORMLESS LIKE WATER AND READY TO WORK
Please do feel free to contact either one of us Robin or Linda at the DreamHub for your personal zoom DreamHub: Arc of Truth session were we can openly discuss and share ideas for your business in aiding you on how to adapt successfully. We at the DreamHub remain determined in assisting you to turn your dreams to business.
For specific product orders in stock contact us to buy items from our entrepreneurs. We will communicate what is possible due to the lockdown for pickups.
Remember to always practice good hygiene, wear a facemask and protect yourself from COVID19. Also take care of your stress levels, avoid the silent killers of stress.
