Never say Never

Setting up a business was something I never; I mean never imagined I'd ever be doing. I'm smiling right now because I 've often joked 'Never say Never'.  Perhaps this is where Mr Beiber should be singing in the background!  You can have the lyrics instead  - not quite sure how copy right works otherwise, you'd have his video - Now is this a blessing or curse:)


See I Never Thought That 
Could Walk Through fire
Never thought that 
I Could take a burn
Never had the strength 
To take it higher
Until I reached the point of no return

And There's just no turnin' back
When your heart's under attack
Gonna give everything I have
It's my destiny

Chorus:I will never say never (I will fight)
I will fight 'till forever (Make It right)
When ever you knock me down
I will not stay on the ground
Pick it up, Pick it up, 
Pick it up up up

And Never Say Never

I announced I'd never become a teacher, and I'm now into my 10th year of teaching. So why am I surprised to my core that I'm seriously learning how to set up a fashion label?

Right now I acknowledge I haven't got a choice, its got me - this need to create  to earn my living from what I'm truly good at. As cheesy as it sounds, Its my 'Calling'. I was Designed by God to design.

However, This starting a business wasn't part of my interpretation of Designing for a living.This isn't going to happen over night, I'm still teaching and will being doing so for a while longer. I may be able to design and people have acknowledged I'm good, but the right people buying my clothes isn't  quite happening yet.

I'm being blessed with lots of advice, its putting the right advice into action thats the issue. One person says one thing the next person says another! But one question keeps re-occurring , and I guess this is the question I need to focus on.

What is the question?



The question is: Just who is my Customer? Who would pay money for my designs.  I'll discuss this in my next blog. I need to do some research. I'll get back to you:)
