You left behind a promising 9-to-5 career, as an Executive assistant to a Group Managing Director of a multinational company to pursue your passion for beauty and establish your own business. Was it an easy decision to make? How did you manage the challenges of transitioning to entrepreneurship? Leaving my 9-to-5 job was not an easy decision because I was stepping away from stability and comfort into an unpredictable world. However, I knew I had a vision that needed to be brought to life.
Transitioning to entrepreneurship came with many challenges, like securing funding, building a team, and convincing others to believe in my brand. I had to learn how to manage risks, trust my instincts, and stay resilient even when things didn’t go as planned. Passion helped me push .
