Stage Voice: So tell us about your business, Jane. Like what do you do?

Stage Voice: Alright... that's cool... So how have you been juggling these businesses despite having lots of practicals and books to read?

Jane: It has not been easy, sometimes I have to forgo one for the other but my customers satisfaction is one of my biggest motivations and the pay...lol

Stage Voice: Omo... Na money be the koko abiii

Jane: [Laughing]

Stage Voice: So why tie and dye? Why run an online jewelry store? Like what motivated you to start doing these businesses? Is it that they are lucrative or what? Kindly share, please.

Jane: I actually started the Tie and Dye business two years ago during the lockdown as a distraction. Then I got an order and the person liked it. I was inspired to turn my hobby into an avenue to make money. I wanted to do more, so I thought what can go well with with tie & dye and jewelry came to mind. They are both lucrative.

Stage Voice:: Hnmmm... "so you were inspired to turn your hobby into an avenue to make money. That's fine. So the lesson we can learn here is that we can actually monetize our hobby... that is, what we like doing?

Jane: Yes exactly...you end up enjoying what you do

Stage Voice: Youre welcome... so being a tye and dye maker and having an online jewelry store, have these changed your financial life to some degree?

Jane: Yes it has...running a business does that to anyone.

Stage Voice: Alright... Even though these businesses are lucrative, there are some negative experiences you must have had. Please, kindly share.

Jane: Yes of course...theres a down side to almost everything Well there was this one time someone made a bulk order and wanted a sample, the style was simple and chill everything was going great but the dying process kept messing it up. I later realized the dye was bad after many trials but it was too late...the shirts were still banging though.

Stage Voice: That's very sad... Like you said, there's a down side to everything... All these experiences sharpen one's understanding.

Jane: It was o Yeah it does
