In 2019, I struck a deal with a UK based retailer for one of my ecommerce brand's. It was an exciting time, we had new releases lined up, marketing materials sorted, fashion shows and launch events registered...

Then.... the lockdown hit UK retailers hard. It completely changed how business and future looked for them, as difficult as it was, we had to put a pause on any further works.

To add to this, i also lost agreements in USA along with my initial investments to acquire contacts. The worst part of it was losing the people i made acquaintances with. Some lost their jobs, some, even more. I am still trying to get in touch with some and offering support through paid work where i can.

Recovery for me was hard work. I had to push harder, I have gone by without sleep for 3 days. The harder i pushed, the more results i brought forward. Dealing with daily operations, customer service, logistics, tech, strategies can get so much. I am honestly so lucky to have a partner that not only undertands my work but helps me navigate through those days where i get hit hardest.

The positive out of this - As a person who lives in the world of growth, numbers and analytics, was the growth of my brands beyond my anticipation. I can now make better decisions and i am an experienced operator now. In the past 7 years, there hasnt been a rock i have left unturned (probably dug even further than gold) and still find inspiration to create, encourage others and help my children grow to be better than i ever will be.

Receiving this email itself was a surprise and a huge encouragement. I was born in a poor Fijian home, I was adopted by Australians and given the opportunity to grow and now getting recognised in International markets. I am , and .
