Serial entrepreneurs are becoming more common. However, the difficulties with handling more than one business or starting afresh have not waned at all.

Lapologang Molemele, a serial entrepreneur, has left no stone unturned as he has gone from selling sweets and biscuits at school, working as a property manager for his family business, organising a beauty pageant to acquitting himself well enough in the logistic industry, just to mention a few of his stints. In his latest venture, Molemele has moved into the hospitality industry operating an 82-bedroomed hotel in Block Five, Gaborone trading as DC Lounge.
