"All successful people today have something in common which is, they all experienced failure. Don't hesitate on taking a decision that matters to you because you are scared you are going to fail. Instead, start now so that you can fail faster and learn from your mistakes, as there is no success without failure".
It feels like yesterday when my sister came to me one night saying : "I want to start a shampoo business".
And I remember my instantaneous reply was : " you? Who is going to buy from you??"
I didn't think it was possible for people to trust me enough to pay me for any product/service. (Talk about low self esteem lol)
Long story short, we decided to start it anyway, we were both so gassed and at the same time so clueless. We didn't know anything about running a business, let alone running a successful hair care business.
Our first idea was to start a shampoo business using ordinary plastic bottles, we couldn't even be bothered to sort out things like branding, product photography etc.
All we knew was that we wanted to make extra cash, and starting a business seems like the easiest option.
That night we opened an Instagram account, and that was the it!
A few months later, we were not as clueless as we first were in business but we knew, we still had a long way to go from being successful.
We had to learn our lessons the hard way and fortunately, and those lessons shaped us into who we are today.
Writing this, right now has made me realise how long Miyo has come.
From two clueless teenage girls to people who have developed the first online afro hair school.
