I admire Lisa Folawiyo, the founder and creative director of Jewel By Lisa. As an entrepreneur who has dabbled in the fashion industry in Nigeria, I respect her. I respect her because I understand the amount of work it takes to take your vision from your head to a drawing on a piece of paper to something executed in fabric. This last sentence cannot express the sheer amount of hardwork it takes to produce clothes. Fashion as an industry demands passion, tenacity and the ability to keep pushing. I respect Lisa Folawiyo's success because it means that she is doing the hardwork she needs to do to keep her company growing.
One of the things that struck me in this presentation is that her business was born out of her passion. In entrepreneurship, with the amount of challenges one faces, it is important to be passionate. On the worst day in business, a business owner still needs to be able to see some token of goodness.
