Running a business is not just about sales, products, or numbers — it’s about the journey, the challenges you overcome, and the proud moments that remind you why you started in the first place.
At WAPPoint, as we celebrate 25 years of empowering entrepreneurs, we want to shine a light on those moments that make you stop, smile, and say: “This is why I do what I do.”
Whether it’s opening your doors for the very first time, making your first card sale, expanding into a second branch, or simply receiving kind words from a loyal customer — every proud moment matters. These are the milestones that define you as a business owner.
Why Proud Moments Matter
Pride in your business is more than just personal satisfaction — it fuels resilience. When times get tough, it’s those little victories and achievements that keep you motivated to push forward. By sharing your proudest business moments, you’re not only celebrating yourself, but also inspiring other entrepreneurs who may be walking the same path.
What Some Merchants Are Proud Of
Some merchants recently shared their story as part of our #WAPPoint25 competition:
One merchant, who is in the beauty industry, said:
“One of the moments that made me say “Yes I built this! Was yesterday when I took this photo below. As a Nail Tech that was working for someone for many yes and now been on my own for 2years , I felt proud of my Gel collection I build with the help of my loyal clients. It was not easy but we here” – Charnè Ruiters
Another merchant in the technology industry said:
One moment that made me say ‘Yes, I built this’ was seeing my first big client successfully use a system I helped implement. It felt amazing to see my work making a real difference! – Nevhutalu Khuthadzo
Another merchant in the farming industry said:
One of the moments that made me say, “Yes, I built this!” is positive feedback from my customers. Hearing my customers praise the taste, freshness, and quality of my vegetables is a rewarding experience that confirms I am doing something right. – Amanda Molala
Moments like these are why we do what we do. They remind us that behind every device is a dream, and behind every transaction is a proud business owner.
