Dream big!

Have you ever stopped yourself because nobody believed in your dreams but you?

I really hope you just mentally answered a big fat “NO!!!!!”

Dreaming is all about finding yourself, finding your goals and living a life that you won't regret. If you stop dreaming you won't truly live and when you get old you will regret the dreams you don't pursue.  

Don't follow other peoples dreams and don't let them decide your life. Finding what you love is like finding someone to spend the rest of your life with. Your work will be a major part of your life so you must enjoy what you do. Even though there will be many obstacles placed in your life, it is important to remain focused on the objectives. 

When I told people I wanted to open a brow studio in Kahuku, all I saw were jaw-dropping-worried-faces, and the big interrogation points on their faces were very visible, but I knew deep down people can doubt you anytime they want, it’s your job to prove them wrong, to show them, or better yet, YOURSELF that you can.

After dropping that bomb I continued by saying: oh yeah, and I am going to have people from all over the islands and from the mainland coming to see me, in Kahuku. Today I am so grateful that I have more than 3,000 very happy clients who traveled thousands of miles to see me.

I have a few strategies to start a business in a small place: 

1- Find a place with potential to grow your business. 

2- Work on marketing (Tag the location of the city on Instagram). 

3- Work with influencers who live nearby. 

4- Networking (Go to meetings, dinners, parties and make sure you have your business card). 

5- Collaboration: Talk to people who work with the same people as you and collaborate. How? Exchange business cards and refer clients to them. Help them grow and you are going to grow too! 

It doesn’t matter where you are all you need is to believe in yourself, love what you do, start with what you have and give your 100% that is all you need to start, there is no secret and if there was one I just told it.
