Frustrated with school, Bertus de Wet liked to play in the veld with his “kettie” (a slingshot). One day he took his “kettie” along to school to show his friends. They wanted “ketties”, too. Bertus started selling ketties – an entrepreneur was born.
As a kid, Bertus may not have liked studying but he learned a lot about business. (And shooting bullseyes.)
At college, Bertus finished a 24-month structural steel detailing course in 18 months. After redrawing many of the training diagrams and helping other students, he stayed on as a trainer for a year.
His second job was at a structural steel detailing company. After just three years at the business, Bertus become a partner. Through the implementation of good systems, efficiency tripled and two years later the business had grown by 60%.
At 29, Bertus sold his shares in what had become the biggest business in the structural steel detailing industry. (For a good profit)
After a year of coaching in a large franchised coaching business, Bertus launched Bertus de Wet Business Coaching.
Just two years later, he was nominated as Business of the Year and won the ROCCI & FNB Business of the Year Award for Service Excellence.
Bertus’ purpose in life is to help entrepreneurs achieve their goals. “I want to connect people with integrity and share ideas so we can grow our businesses together.”
His drive to find new ways to approach business sent him to learn from top people in the industry. He’s done courses accredited by the International Coaching Federation and COMENSA.
What inspires him is seeing how much a business can improve their profitability with the right thinking.
He’s trained and coached over 150 entrepreneurs and has a goal to help 1 Million people to build a successful life.
