You know the feeling when you just met someone but somehow you just vibe! That was how I felt when I got to know Watie! It is nice having someone with the same vibe to be your booth buddy. In the short time we spent together, we got to share a lot of ideas, strategies and opinions on how we can build our businesses in the best way.
This December, I like to introduce this friendly and sweet business owner of Alya Essentials, Watie! Our last local business shoutout of 2024!

Can you describe the moment you decided to become a business owner?
The moment was nothing special because it means more work and perseverance.
What routines do you follow each day?
Routine to remember that each day is a gift. Doing my best at the tasks I am supposed to complete and be better each day. If I didn't do well, it means improvement needs to take place. Only positive mindset leads to improvement. Routines are not supposed to make us feel down. So only activities that leads to personal and work development are permitted.

Can you share a moment in your business journey that was particularly impactful?
Recently when I do outdoor event. It shows that even if you are new in the market, with good preparation of mental and physical, as long you are around to offer better experience and benefit for consumers, you are making an impact not only to yourself but others as well.
What are the most rewarding aspects of being a business owner?
Before being true to yourself and others, you will not get the satisfaction that you can get and be in control. The big word is, in control.

How do you find inspiration and creativity for your business ideas?
Back to true to yourself and others, that is where I get my inspiration. If your life is lacking purpose, no inspiration or creativity will be achieved. In my perspective, true to yourself means to accept the pros and cons of your decisions.
What advice will you give to aspiring business owners?
Understanding yourself helps big time to enjoy your entrepreneurial journey because it is definitely a long one yet fulfilling.
What is the future going to be like for you and Alya Essentials?
Booth at least once a month and e-commerce as good as face-to-face transaction.
