Mark Young is the head of the painting department in a large hospital; 20 union employees report to him. Before coming on board at the hospital, he had worked as an independent contractor. At the hospital, he took a position that was newly created because the hospital believed change was needed in how painting services were provided.

Mamello Morongwe, a certified food technologist was working on a biscuit recipe for her employer, a leading biscuit manufacturer, when she discovered a muffin recipe. The employer expressed no interest in pursuing this segment of the market and gave Mamello the clearance to use the recipe in her private capacity for personal benefit, as part of their employee development program.
After utilising this recipe to bake muffins for special events only, which she distributed over weekends, Mamello finally resigned from her job and is now pursuing her business on a full-time basis – her former employer is now a customer and has placed a full-year weekly order for 20 dozens of muffins every Friday. Armed with a business plan and registration documents for her business, Muffin Boffin, Mamello feels ready to take the country by storm.
