We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Bushra Khan a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Bushra thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

Hello there!

Thank you for your valuable time in learning more about my journey and insights.

You know it’s really something special when we whole heartedly honor our own gifts, as we inspire our loved ones to do the same for themselves. That flame of inspiration can further light up the paths of all those who we may never meet, yet who are in desperate need of the spark that only we can provide.

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is a soul searching, beautiful gift to embody. Don’t you think so?

It’s a powerful force in our Universe, an excitement to BE and FEEL like nothing else matches its power.

& guess what? This force yet again led me to my next mission.

As I delved deeper into my spiritual existence, I arrived at a stage where I felt ‘blockages’ internally in multiple ways & it was like as if, my ‘incompleteness’ was pointing me towards something…a guiding light towards my higher self.

So, I paid attention to my deep calling to amplify my impact on more individuals while I stayed aligned with love within.

You know what really tore me up? I witnessed the struggles of few of my loved ones.

In their desperation to search for deeper meaning in their lives, I decided to channel my own energy into something higher, something that could uplift them too like a ripple effect and boy, did it work!

My mission was born from my personal journey, my everyday moments and specific adventures with loved ones & even from my dreams in the astral world.

It’s all about helping people shift their mindsets into a higher frequency with inspiring and encouraging words on everyday functional products.

I’ve actually seen the power of this concept before, having used it in photography albums for my clients in the past.

So, you see, this mission means the world to me. It allows me to inspire and uplift others, helping them find their own light and purpose through their hearts. It’s about helping them unlock their own internal treasures. It’s about spreading love and positivity in a world that often needs it the most.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Hey I’m Bushra…a nurturing Mother, Lover, Healer, determined Fighter and an endless Dreamer who loves walking bare feet on soft White sand and warm waters of Gulf of Mexico. In those moments, I am captivated by the artist’s palette of the Golden Hour in refreshing Lavenders and the fiery, Tangerine / Mango skies.

Even though part of my heart lives in the mountains, the other half finds peace on the beautiful Emerald Coast of Florida.

I believe in kindness and generosity taking you far & changing lives.

Previously through my mold breaking journey as a Photographer / Videographer and now as an e-commerce entrepreneur, I’m trying to utilize and offer my gifts to leave our world, a bit more beautiful and joyful than how I found it.

Delightful –  Can you please tell our readers how you got into your industry / business / discipline / craft etc.?

Well, my current focus and shift towards e-commerce happened in an organic way so to speak, as I felt the need to explore multiple facets in the realm of creativity. Not to say, I wasn’t being creative enough previously. That would be far from truth.

I found myself at the center of transformative events that ignited a fire within me once again.

With unwavering commitment to love and my authentic self, I became a source of inspiration to those closest to me, urging them to embrace a heightened state of being too.

Motivated by the love of my beloveds, I felt inspired to create these collections.

What problems or struggles you solve for your customers?

You know, I’ve always believed in the significance of words at a subconscious level. With that understanding, I knew that loving and inspiring words on tangible products would carry an even deeper impact on my consumers.

Let me give you an example. If you are shopping to give a gift to a loved one or invest for yourself, the typography on ‘French Country’ collection captures the essence of love, hope, adventure etc. These messages are designed on everyday products such as, cell phone covers, glasses, stickers, fanny packs and more.

And hey, words on ‘Tranquil Tide’ Collection act as your personal cheerleader. Whether it’s a wall poster, laptop sleeve, tote bag or mousepad, each one is adorned with the inspiring message, “I Believe in the Magic of my Dreams.”  Our thoughtful routine products help you overcome any doubts or struggles.

Let’s talk about product lettering on ‘Launch Pad’ Collection that shifts you into a growth mindset. Need a boost of motivation? Then, you’re in the right spot!

But, that’s not all!  Head over to our website to check out more goodies.

We’ll continue to add exciting merchandise in the coming months, initially for USA based customers and eventually expand to several other countries.

Inspiring – What are the key things you want potential clients /followers/fans to know about you/your brand/your work/ etc.

Simply put, can you imagine a world where everyone, in every corner of the globe, recognizes and embraces their own brilliance?

Can you imagine a world where our everyday functional gifts serve as constant reminders of our power and impact? That’s the vision I’m working towards.

I am also pleased with the launch of my first BLOG for y’all.

It ties into my e-commerce brand in a note-worthy way.

So, if you’re all about pep talks, positive vibes and personal glow ups, then head over to our portal’s blog please and SUBSCRIBE!  https://www.starbitsportal.com

I can’t wait to connect with people and your fans who resonate with my message of love, inspiration, and personal growth!

Have you ever had to pivot?

Sure, let me share a story with you about a time when I had to pivot pretty recently. So, I was all excited about starting my own online shop on TikTok. I spent weeks and weeks setting it up, adding products, and making everything look ‘perfect’. I even created tons of cool infographics to promote my products.

But then, setback occurred. You see, TikTok changed their rules about using copyrighted music for shops or biz owners, and suddenly, I couldn’t use any of my favorite songs in my store. It was like a big roadblock in my path as the chosen songs need to be aligned with my brand or message.

Using Tik Tok’s sounds from commercial library were not appealing or aligned with my brand.

And I wasn’t the only one affected. I heard stories of artists losing a lot of money when their music suddenly stopped getting streamed or not uploaded by entrepreneurs like myself. It was a tough blow for a lot of artists.

I had to think fast and find a solution. That’s when I decided to pivot. Instead of relying on Tik Tok or third party platforms, I started focusing on improving my website’s search engine optimization (SEO). It’s a time-consuming process, but it’s definitely starting to pay off. I’ve also started a NEW BLOG to find readers and potential buyers from all over the world.

What seemed like a challenge at one point is now a sweet reality. I’m determined to make it work!

So, yeah, sometimes you must change your Plan A to Plan B to find an alternative path when things don’t go as expected. It may be tough initially, but it’s all part of the journey. And I know for a fact, this pivot will lead me to even greater success in the end.

Maybe in far future again, when my brand has picked up, I MAY end up reopening my shop on Tik Tok or actively sell via Instagram or Facebook’s Shop set up too.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

Absolutely! Let me tell you about a stage when I had to adapt and show resilience in the face of a challenge. It was a few years ago when the whole world was grappling with Covid and all the restrictions it brought along. At that time, I was working ‘part-time’ from my home studio, primarily doing portraiture and boudoir photography creating timeless albums to empower mostly women and couples.

Now, when Covid hit, I felt uneasy about having people come into my indoor studio. Even though, we practiced safekeeping rules and distance of 6 feet, I knew it wasn’t foolproof.

So, I had to come up with a solution. Overnight, I decided to delve into the world of videography and editing, so I could start doing product videography instead. This way, I could avoid having people in an indoor setting.

To get the word out about my new venture, I started advertising my services on third-party websites.

And you know what? It worked!

I managed to attract quite a few new customers, which kept me incredibly busy.

I specifically chose clients that I could pitch to, for product filming in an outdoor setting.

We followed all the necessary health protocols. Besides, safety has always been my top priority both indoors & outdoors.

I must admit, it was a challenging yet fulfilling time for me. Creating videos was the easy part but professional editing was not an easy feat. The learning curve was steep, but I pushed through and came out stronger on the other side. Often, I hired more experts on my team to help remotely.

Overall a very rewarding stage.

It just goes to show that with a little resilience and a willingness to adapt, we can overcome any obstacle that comes our way and make the best of it.
