Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Thi Dang. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Thi, appreciate you joining us today. Being a business owner can be really hard sometimes. It’s rewarding, but most business owners we’ve spoken sometimes think about what it would have been like to have had a regular job instead. Have you ever wondered that yourself? Maybe you can talk to us about a time when you felt this way?
Working as a business owner requires a lot more effort and entails greater responsibilities compared to simply working alone in one room. However, despite the challenges, I wouldn’t trade it for anything because having a regular job can feel limiting and confined to a single location. As a business owner, I have the freedom to unleash my creativity. The role of a business owner is incredibly multifaceted and intricate. There are numerous factors that come into play, some of which might not even cross the minds of everyday individuals. For instance, taxes are a crucial aspect of owning a business, and learning how to delegate responsibilities and trust my staff to execute tasks according to my vision is an ongoing process. Although there may be instances where things don’t pan out exactly as planned, I believe in continuously moving forward and overcoming obstacles.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I was raised in the beauty industry, and it felt natural to me as I grew up around it. I always had an eye for enhancing beauty in everything I came across. When it comes to discipline, I consider myself to be a dedicated individual. Succeeding in this industry requires a unique mindset. Personally, I have a strong work ethic and combine it with a perfectionist approach. This combination has shaped who I am today. I strive for excellence in everything I do and work on, as it brings me a sense of fulfillment. Even a small enhancement can make a significant difference in someone’s life. It’s rewarding to see how something like enhancing eyebrows can instantly transform a person’s appearance within just a 30-minute appointment. For me, it’s more than just an eyebrow session; it becomes a therapeutic experience. I establish a connection with my clients that goes beyond a regular interaction.
I am proud to say that I started my business from scratch, with no investors involved. I was able to bring my vision to life and maintain it throughout the process. Every aspect of the business, from the design to the smallest detail, is a result of my personal touch. I’ve created a welcoming environment for my clients, ensuring they have a memorable experience.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
My business has flourished over the years, thanks to my unwavering resilience and determination. From humble beginnings without investors, I’ve faced my fair share of challenges. Yet, I’ve embraced each obstacle as an opportunity for growth and improvement. I adapt to industry changes while staying true to my passion for enhancing beauty. What truly warms my heart is the incredible support and loyalty of my cherished clients. Their satisfaction is a testament to the personal care and dedication I pour into every aspect of my business.
We’d love to hear your thoughts about selling platforms like Amazon/Etsy vs selling on your own site.
