Growth Mindset is the secret to personal and professional growth for me, every time someone says “no”, I hear “not yet”. Change of perspective does wonders.

Advice to an aspiring entrepreneur or woman just starting her career?

Do not wait for perfect moment, just start. This flawless moment doesn’t really exist, on your journey to success you have to be flexible with circumstances, and true to your calling.

When making important decisions, gather advice from experts but base your answer on your personal intuition. You know best what works for your business.

What funding route have you chosen for your business and why?

So far I used my personal savings for the launch of the business. I am looking into grants and business loans to expand.

Some of the challenges you have faced and how you overcame them?

My primary function is to improve individual’s skin and every client has their own goals, because of that my approach has to be personally tailored. Sometimes client’s expectations do not meet with the treatment outcomes and it is my job to set correct expectations. I make it my propriety to spend time on private consultations prior to starting work with each client, this gives me a perfect opportunity to curate a treatment plan that will deliver great predictable results and will make my clients happy.

Why is it important to support women-led business?

Only 1% of all investments goes to female founded businesses. It is crucial we support women who are fighting to stand on the equal ground with men. Especially since many women founders are also mothers who have the responsibility of the primary carers in so many cases, which is a full time job on its own.
