How Adopting the 3Bs Can Make You Highly Successful and Unstoppable
Every young entrepreneur needs this recipe.
In a fit of madness, I decided to fuck it and went ahead and started a fashion magazine business 13 years ago.
I was a struggling fashion model. I loved fashion, but the industry was tough. I got fed up with kissing up to my agency to get jobs. It was frustrating and sometimes degrading.
I was tired of complaining about being side-lined after I abandoned a contract due to a physical assault and harassment incident with a client.
Modelling felt like I was always waiting for the next gig, depending on someone else to decide my worth, my paycheck, and my future.
I needed something that was mine — something I could build from the ground up, something where I didn’t have to rely on anyone else to make a living. So, I decided to start my own fashion magazine.
I’ll be honest, I had no idea what I was getting into. I didn’t know the first thing about publishing, marketing, or running a business, but I was driven.
I had this burning desire to create something that reflected my love for fashion but also gave me control over my own destiny.
