Hello, entrepreneurs!
How I started my entrepreneurship journey. It was as if I would not make it on this journey, but God saw me through, and I came out successfully. In every successful businessman, there is a resilient spirit, determination, and an unbreakable drive to overcome challenges.
During this journey, I faced a lot of physical and spiritual challenges. There was a time when I slept in a tattered house and raining water was dripping on me in the course of my work.
I was rejected by a family I lived with in a strange land, and I liked what I was doing, tailoring work and I had to shelter myself in a strange room where I was dripped by the rain.
Under the rain, I cried to God that I would not fail in this journey, that I would hold onto God and finish it strong and share this testimony with others who are into these challenges.
I learned, relearned, and unlearned in this journey of entrepreneurship, but I succeeded in all the hurdles and strives. I became an entrepreneur on my own. Resilience and determination are powerful tools to make it in life. So I took it upon myself to stand out in my business.
I determined not to deviate but to take my stand on fashion, envisioning a role model in fashion which I am today. A young me becoming an entrepreneur, having visions, venturing into a new environment to create and make a positive influence on fashion.
Last year, I had a call that took me out of my hometown, that's Lagos to a strange country for a contract to sowing different clothes with different styles. At first, I was scared of adventure or tours but I had to take that step. This exposure gave me a different look and experience entirely about fashion. I left for another country with my boys, and by God's Grace, I was able to lead them till that contract ended, and we left. I traveled to Cameron, which is another Africa entirely; their currency, which is the franc, is different from Nigeria's.
I also noticed that the work of an entrepreneur is hard to do, but wisdom, mindfulness, purpose-driven passion, strength, creativity, and clarity will help entrepreneurs become successful leaders. I learned the principles of every successful entrepreneur and it worked for me. Omor, it is not easy but at last, I will be the one to enjoy.
Please clap for me. I have tried a young man, I am. I'm not boasting of my strength but of God's strength and clarity he has given me to reach this stage today.
Thank you.
Your fashionista,
