HAIR SALON NADA NO 1

1. How and at what point did you come up with the idea to start your own business?
My mom has been in this business for a long time, and at one point, I decided to join her, so that's how I got into this business.

2. Have you always wanted to be involved in your current business?
No, I hadn't thought about it. I had other plans. I grew up in the salon with my mom, and that's when I got the idea that I would like to do this too.

3. What are you proud of in your business?
Above all, professionalism and maintaining constant quality.

4. What is the secret of your success? (List three qualities, behaviors, beliefs, or abilities)
Professionalism, kindness, and quality.

5. How understanding has your environment been, and who has been your biggest support?
My biggest support has been my mother and husband.

6. What is your guiding motto?
Just stay positive.

7. Do you have role models who have motivated or continue to motivate you in your work?
When I started working, my role model was my mom. I learned everything from her, and I grew up with her in this business.

8. What did you have to give up?
Just free time. I got married on New Year's, and since that's when there's the most work, I can never travel for our wedding anniversary. 😊

9. What has driven you forward, and how do you motivate yourself when tough times come?
Fortunately, I haven't had tough times in my business, but even when there are challenges, optimism and the desire for progress always drive me.

10. Why is it better for a woman to be an entrepreneur than to be employed in a company?
For several reasons, primarily because any woman who wants to fulfill herself as a mother can still devote herself to her children and her family, and that's a great advantage.

11. What advice would you give to new female entrepreneurs or a younger version of yourself?
Certainly, they should try, not give up quickly, not waver. A big problem with today's youth is the lack of responsibility. They want everything right away, but success requires a lot of investment and effort.

12. On a scale of 1-10, how challenging is it to be a female entrepreneur in Serbia? (or in a "male-dominated field")
It's challenging for both women and men - 7.

13. Where do you see yourself exactly in 5 years?
I want to maintain the current level of business.
