starting a new business, there are so many risk factors involved but
the most important thing is to never give up on your dreams. That’s an
important lesson that budding fashion entrepreneur Tania Omotayo learned recently.
She
shared an inspiring piece on Instagram recently about the success of
hosting her second pop up event after starting her clothing line just
four months ago.
She wrote:
Testimony Time… I
started Ziva 4 months ago, had my first pop up in December it was super
successful and I sold out. I was so happy legit thought I had made it
then the negative people started that oh it was just luck etc. So I was
so nervous about the pop up yesterday, because it was going to determine
if I was lucky or actually successful. I managed to convince myself
that nobody would show up, and that I wouldn’t sell anything. That was
the scariest thing ever because I made 3 times the amount of pieces I
made the first time. I did that many because the aim this time was not
to sell out in one day but to have things to sell to people that
couldn’t make the pop up. I Started to imagine what I would do with all
of those clothes if nobody bought it and drove myself crazy. And look at
God we sold so much!!! Probably 70 percent of everything. Starting a
clothing line has been a dream of mine since I was in university. I
still cannot believe that I actually did it, and that it’s actually
successful. Moral of my story is just NEVER give up on your dreams. Who
would have thought little old me would have any of this? My family and
friends are proud of me, and it is genuinely one of the greatest
feelings in the world. My heart is so full of joy.
