To succeed, you often need to find a good role model. There are many successful people in the world whose stories inspire accomplishments. One such example is the young woman Sabrina.
The 31-year-old entrepreneur Sabrina Nunes is currently the owner of the online store Francisca Joias, which in 2017 issued an invoice for 6 million Brazilian reais, which translates into approximately 1.6 million dollars. The girl has several distributors in Brazil.
How it all began?
I must say that at the beginning of the journey the girl had a hard time. Prior to her success, Sabrina worked in a low-paying job and was not happy with her position. This prompted the girl to the idea that it was time to change something in her life.
The girl was born in Iting, in the north of Minas Gerais, in Brazil, in a family of illiterate parents. She studied hard and graduated in social security. It is worth saying that this was already a big breakthrough for her.
Nevertheless, the lack of employment opportunities in her hometown forced Sabrina to leave her small homeland and, after her relatives and neighbors, moved to the city of Maracaju in order to get a job and cultivate sugarcane.
During the interview, Sabrina said: “I used to cut reeds and saw that there are engineers who earn more than a thousand dollars. It was my dream. Then I began to think: what should I do to earn this amount? "
In her head, the girl scrolled through the possible ways to achieve success. As a result, Sabrina, inspired by the example of engineers, decided to get a second higher education.
Start of Entrepreneurship
Sabrina decided to study as an engineer because she was convinced that this profession would allow her to achieve the success she wanted so much. She went to university under the PROUNI program. The girl managed to get a quota at the university in Rio de Janeiro.
Sabrina was moving toward her goal, and everything was going well until the day she read in the magazine that the woman had billed more than a thousand dollars selling groceries on the Internet. The girl thought: "That's all, I'm going to open an online store."
At some point, Sabrina realized that her own project would allow her to fulfill her dream and succeed. The risks were high, but the girl again decided not to back down.
Long-awaited success
This is her story: the then future entrepreneur registered on the market platform, went to the city center, bought jewelry for $ 13 and published an ad on the Internet about their sale.
Subsequently, she received an offer from the platform for advertising, which will be distributed to the emails of all customers registered on the site.
Sabrina also said that she just needed to pay $ 80 for this service and wait for the result. The girl felt fear, because this amount was too large for her. After all, at that time Sabrina's earnings were minimal. Sabrina again faced the choice "To risk or not to risk? Put everything on the line or abandon your goal?".
In the end, the girl decided that it was too late to turn off the chosen path. She accepted the offer and managed to sell $ 1,300 worth of goods. Then she decided to quit her career, quit her job and devoted herself to e-commerce.
Creating your own online store
A year after the start of sales on the platform, in 2012, Sabrina decided to create her own online store Francisca Joias (the name she chose in honor of her grandmother).
To date, this store is the most influential in e-commerce of modern jewelry in Brazil. Jewelry is original, which allows you to sell them for very significant amounts.
Entrepreneur celebrates an increase in the number of customers and income. Its goal is to grow by 10% per year. For four years now, Sabrina has not only achieved her goal, but also significantly ahead of the course of events.
According to Sabrina, the success of her online store is largely due to the attention paid to customers. For example, a store sends goods in a personalized box with an exclusive aroma and a postcard with a good phrase.
In addition, call center specialists are always happy to answer all your questions and, if necessary, give advice. It should not be excluded that regular customers are given discounts and pleasant bonuses.
What Sabrina is doing now
Today Saboina diversified its product and owns other businesses in addition to the online jewelry store. She also intends to help her followers with tips for new entrepreneurs. She regularly holds events to which young people who want to succeed are invited. Sabrina enthusiastically talks about her experience and shares the mistakes that she made on the way to her cherished dream.
The girl encourages people to act and not be afraid of failure. According to Sabrina, this is an integral part of the journey.
What a girl’s story can teach
Many give up their dreams when faced with the first difficulty. And some people do not even try to begin to realize their plans in life under the yoke of fear of failure.
Many excuses can be devised to justify your own inaction. We can blame rich people for having achieved success only thanks to a lot of money. But wealthy people were once poor. Why not find yourself a good example to follow and not use it as an incentive to achieve your own goal?
Sabrina Nones is a good example. The girl was able to prove to everyone that you can succeed and start making good money, even if you were born in the outback and your parents do not have the opportunity to sponsor your projects.
The first failure, the second ... Despite the fact that the girl did not always succeed as she wanted, she was able to resist and overcome herself so as not to turn off the chosen path. Sabrina Nones is a vivid example of how hard work, the ability to take risks and make responsible decisions can lead to a cherished goal and fulfill a dream.
