But she has now realised that in today&#8217;s world, women can break barriers and redefine success on their own terms. \u201cOne of the most powerful ways we can do this is by embracing the roles of both CEO and mother. With the right mindset, strategies, and support, it&#8217;s possible to excel at both \u2013 and do it with confidence,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Being a mother and a CEO often means juggling the demands of a high-profile career while also meeting the needs of a family. It involves sleepless nights and busy days. For Sholain, the challenges are real, but the rewards are endless. \u201cI am learning to multitask on a different level, between trying to be the best mum I can be and running my businesses,\u201d she shares.<\/p>\n<p>Sholain\u2019s businesses include The Gold Bar, a gold recycling company, with six stores around the country, including a branch at Ballito Junction; and Sensational Hair, Nails &amp; Beauty with one branch on Chartwell Drive in Umhlanga and one in Cornubia Mall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing a CEO and a mother can feel overwhelming, but when done with passion and purpose, it can be incredibly fulfilling,\u201d she says. \u201cIn the end, it\u2019s about embracing the challenges, trusting in your abilities, and knowing that you can thrive in both your professional and personal life. Every day is a new opportunity to grow, learn, and show up for both your company and your family. By doing so, you set an example for the next generation that women can truly have it all \u2013 and excel at it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-37567 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/gold-bar.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1250\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/gold-bar.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/gold-bar-400x107.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/gold-bar-1024x274.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/gold-bar-768x205.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/gold-bar-696x186.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/gold-bar-1068x285.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1250px) 100vw, 1250px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sholain Perumal, CEO of The Gold Bar, and mum of a gorgeous 3-month-old baby, Shreyan, talks about navigating the challenges of being both a mother and CEO of multiple businesses.
