I finally got my samples of my designs and I have to say they look really great! Granted there are a few little tweaks I need to make to them but I have to say, the quality of the fabric and my designs are really fantastic!
I had a very positive response to my clothing line at my focus group which was on Saturday the 15th of September. I hired a beautiful hall, laid out some delicious food and invited some lovely mums to come and take a look at my garments. It was a very relaxed environment and everyone got on really well!
I would like to thank all the lovely mums who came to take part in the group and also the mums that showed interest but were unable to attend due to illness and family life! I appreciate you even acknowledging Mini Men UK!
I enjoyed hearing everyone's opinions on my clothing which was really shocking to me as initially I had been terrified that nobody would like my designs! How wrong was I?!
All the mums were complimentary of my designs, fabric and colours that were used. I had some wonderful feedback about how I could improve my garments and even add some new items!
The focus group really took me out of comfort zone as I am not the type of person who likes a lot of attention and cringe at the thought of having to speak to the public and this focus group made me take on the challenge head on! It was a really great day and I am so happy that everything worked out in the end.
I have learnt from doing this that I need to start believing in myself more and trusting that what I am doing is the right thing and will work out in my favour. I am constantly doubting myself, wondering if I have what it takes to be an Entrepreneur or Mumpreneur as I like to call it! Now I have realised that if I really want something, I have to believe that I deserve to have it, in order to REALLY have it!
Life is too short to be fearful of failure and to regret and wish you had......... The fact is opportunities come few and far between and you need to grab them every time they come your way!
This is something I really want to teach young children of this generation and I am always trying to think of ways to incorporate these things into my business.
In the future, I would really love to work with charities such as Barnados, Starlight Children's Foundation and Save The Children. I am not exactly sure how I will assist these charities and bring awareness but I am definitely working on some sort of competition project for the future!
I will try and bring as much happiness to young children as I possibly can through Mini Men UK and become the Philanthropist I would love to be!
So, I am extremely close to my goal of launching at Christmas and starting my positivity revolution! I am about to make my mark on this world and I hope you will follow me on my journey to becoming a winner!
