6 they do that works and adopting this to TSW. In addition, I think an really important thing when running a business is to learn to take on criticisms in order to move to the next level. I had friends telling me things I really didn’t want to hear about TSW however, these same pieces of advices are the roots of the improvements in the business. Chanel: When it comes to work ethic, I love getting the job done and getting it right. I am someone that uses originality and creativity in any idea I come across because, I allows TSW to stand out from other businesses doing what we do. ‘Tenacious’ spells the name of the company as I never give up when one idea does not work out. In this way we become stronger, bolder and wiser. How did you fund your start-up? Victoria: I didn’t have much to start-up the business but as the passion was there I knew it was possible to make this dream become a reality. So I decided to hit the streets and do the same thing I would do if I needed cash... Sell Cakes. I made around £60 and from there it was TSW time to take off… I guess another important thing I believe is that sometimes when you have an idea it’s better to just get out there and learn from your mistakes and just keep on learning. Chanel: It’s quiet interesting how larger companies started from small backgrounds. Before I joined to run The Sisters Wardrobe, my partner Victoria would sell cupcakes on the street and it gradually grew from there. I’m telling you it wasn’t’ easy but it will be worth it in the long run. One thing we take into consideration is that we should never accept life as it is. If an investor wanted to invest in your business what would they be investing in? The Sister’s Wardrobe is very new to the fashion industry meaning we are all about new ideas to help us grow and develop. We really strive on making things possible with the resources we have. TSW is definitely a business which one can trust that has the consumer at the heart of it and our team works hard to do the best we can in order to exceed the expectations of our clients. Lastly, one will be investing in a business with a team who is ready to take on new challenges to make sure things are done effectively to be the best! What would you consider your main achievement so far in your business and personal life? Victoria: I think one of the main achievements from The Sister’s Wardrobe is doing something which most 18 years aren’t doing. I believe having a business allows you to grow as a person for example the values of resilience and to always persist through hardships have really been established in me. As there have been times when I have planned competitions and the results I wanted to see didn’t happen but, you learn just to keep going and focus on the bigger goal. Chanel: The advance in brainstorming ideas has to be the main achievement so far we have started to host competitions to enlarge the number of consumers viewing our social media outlets and other links. Personally, I believe I have achieved in so many ways as to being confident and having an optimistic mind about things. The best part is that I look past the obstacles and focus on my destination. What helps me to do that is to always remind myself why I joined Victoria in this new adventure. Where do you see yourself and your business in 10 years’ time?
7 Victoria: By this time I would love to have a wider team being part of the growth of The Sister’s Wardrobe I would love to open a store in London and also abroad. Apart from The Sister’s Wardrobe I would love to pursuit a career in finance either as a Management Consultant or a Broker. Chanel: Ten years’ time, I’ll be sitting behind a desk, running The Sister’s Wardrobe along with a larger team, who share the same goal as us. I would love for us to have branches global as, I do love to travel. I also see TSW creating their own magazine and receiving nominees and awards. This is the vision. What is your #1 advice to another young person thinking about starting their own business? there have been many while running The Sister’s Wardrobe which has really been a struggle. Where the thoughts of quitting pop into your head but, I believe these are the times you’ll remember the most. In addition, when the hard times come (because they will) it’s so important to keep your eyes on the bigger picture and remember why you started in the first place! Chanel: One thing I’ll say is when you have the passion go for it, go get it! Never limit yourself. You’re able to do marvellous things when you put your mind to it. A key point concerning this is to be consistent and not allow peers or any kind of people in your life to influence you that you are not worth it and you can never be successful. Just take their words into mind, smile, and say ‘’Watch me’’. Victoria: Be prepare for the hard times; TheSisWardrobe_ The Sister’s Wardrobe
