5.1 Read the following scenario and answer the questions that follow:      Janine Viljoen has been doing catering for the past 10 years.  She gets meat, pumpkin, spinach, carrots and potatoes from her farm.  She also has a little store in town where she sells homemade chutney, biscuits, rusks, desserts, meat products and preserved products.  In the store, wool clothes and slippers are also being sold.  All her products are packaged in recycled containers and the logo of the store appears on the label.   Three workers help her when she is doing catering.  She has a good relationship with her workers and looks after them.  All of them have responsibilities and when they are unsure of something, they ask for help.   With running the store and having the catering business, planning is important.  All her products are always delivered on time and of high quality.   Being a businesswoman also taught her to listen and to be patient.  She has good people skills.   The most important thing she has learned over the years is that if you don’t try, you will never know.
