Every great business idea started with an unusual activity connected to an unprecedented epic story and "ScissorCraft" is one of its kind.
A brand known for using scissors and satin ribbon to make unique florial gift tag. As you can see in the picture attached below is a bottle of Baileys® , beautifully packaged as a birthday party gift with an adornment of ScissorCrafts® florial gift tag.
This gift tag can be used by gift shops, cake designers and individual who love to give celebrants gifts to cherish in every festive moments . Absolutely a vintage piece๐.
How I began to internalize how to turn this into a multi-million naria business is only by a divine wisdom
from God.
Just like ice cream comes in different flavors so does children comes in different traits ..
Our second daughter Obiamaka is very unpredictable and invincible. And so was her coming into this world ๐. I called her total package when she arrived. She is bold, fearless and disciplined. When she was 13 months ,a teenage boy took her #20 that she was holding very protectively with tactic from her.
So we thought she did lost her money and asked her about it, she took my hand and walked me to where the boy was sitting and touched him hard . I asked him if he took her money and he denied and said haa, Auntie No!
Immediately she noticed him denying she began to hit him with a tiny fist and I was moved to search him and found the money in his pocket.
That is my Obiamaka, you can never take advantage of her vulnerability! She always wins every fight that comes her way. My husband fears her more than his own mother. She is an authority.
Each time she played with her siblings and other children her age, they someone must have a bruise on the body just playing no fight.๐คฆ๐ Anywhere there is an uncontrollable noise, just separate Obiamaka from the scene you will get an immediate ambiance.
Sometimes when she is cleaning up the kitchen, breakable plates kept falling off her hands . I came home one day and found my abandoned Italian leather bag cut into pieces with scissor and my Aba sample materials cut too ๐๐ญ Obiamaka ,you will kill me oh,I didn't kill my mother.
She used her money and bought needle and thread and scissors in front of my compound from a Tailor and made a wallet and napsack for her self. Her favorite bag till date.
I went mad but didn't beat her because I already have started mindful parenting approach to training our children. Which is very rewarding and pays me lots of dividends.
My anger lead me into calling her "Destroyer". One particular day again I came home met that she destroyed my bangle and as I sat down to think of how to punish her my thoughts diverted to how to turn her weakness into a strength.
It was a divine reflection of universal love upon my life and I realized that I am in awe of God's guidance. There is a presence of an extraordinary Teacher in my life as parent. What suddenly came into my mind was the turning point in that challenging struggle to change her from the person she is to the person I wanted her to be.
She has energy of a tigress. She walk the dark like light. Places in the dark her siblings will fear to go when the power went off, she always dare to go alone or lead them.
I sat down brought out a book and began to write down how to turn her weakness into a profitable venture which my Great Divine Teacher was teaching me. There are truly great things she can use her energy and scissorcraft skill for. If I guide her well, she will do exploit with it.
๐คWhat can she create that I have a market for?
Did I forget to also tell you that she can also dance, act drama , model, knit, beadcraft. She is a marvel. If I needed someone to massage my nerves, she is the right person I go to.
Even when she came, my breastmilk couldn't flow and that's how I ended up feeding her milk๐ only . At a point I will say, maybe she is doing all this because she didn't take a breastmilk.
Now you know details of this marvelous 12yrs old personality , learn more from this valuable business story.
Great parents and parents to be please learn how I unravel how to maximize her scissor skill to make her a millionaire before her 18th birthday using every trait and creative ability that was bestowed upon her.
I have named her company "ScissorCrafts"®.
This florial tag can go for #50 each.
It cost 20 to make the florial ribbon and #10 for the dangling tag . No electricity, no machine needed just hands and scissor. We intend put a write up on the tag with red color "HandMade with love" which will be inscript on the tag.
I want to help Obiamaka turn her blessed but not destructive hands into an ATM machine so she can become a self made millionaire owning 2million that she worked for by herself before she turned 18yrs. She is progressing fine. Once we launch her brand I will let you know.. For now I am her customer and with few of my cakemates.
It will take me using this florial tag as a product to achieve this parental goal which I have for the four of them. . I have a well planned Parental goals .
Here in a concise memior ๐๐๐
I want to help her make #2million in a year.
✔️How many pieces does she to make a year to make that 6figure digits realistic ?
She needs to produce 120,000 x #50= for #6,000,000 to make #2.4million profit annually.
✔️How many does she needs to produce daily and monthly?
✔️About 335 pieces daily and 10,000 pieces monthly respectively.
✔️ Can she do it alone ? If she do it alone and how many hours will it take her to make for example 35 pieces daily ?
✔️ She cannot do it alone, she comes back from school daily and have leisure time for television after her assignment from 6.30pm.
She can only make 35pieces within 2hours.
So she needs to employ 10 kids into her company so they can form a team that will help her achieve her dream.
While she help them achieve theirs.
35 pieces each from her employees x10 = 350 pieces daily, 350x 30 days = 10,500 pieces monthly.
Wow๐ That's a win for them. Saturdays and Sundays they can increase their working hour. Looks so easy to handle for their age.
How long will she need to train them? She learnt to make it perfectly for 3days. We are gifted differently so it may take 7days for them or less to be trained.
Where can she find teens that will work sign up with her?
In school, in our church ministry and in our neighborhood.
๐ค๐คWhere can she find market to sell her product?
I am a cake designer, I have network of over 200 people that I have trained since 18years ago. I have also lots of Cakemates as friends ๐ who will be willing to support her brand.
✔️ How can she locate her buyers and how many does she need?
I will take her to my fellow cakemates to talk to them about her products and it's offering values to their brands.
This experience will equip her on how to get her future prospects to seal a deal ,if she decide to create more leads. #EntrepreneurshipEducation .
✔️ She simply needs 100 bakers who runs a cake shop that makes 25 cakes weekly and 100cakes monthly who will value giving their package a vintage touch.
✔️ Each person among the 100 cake designers need to buy #1250 worth weekly and #5000 monthly worth and #60,000 worth years in her prepose annual sales total is #6million ( 50X120,000)=
Total production cost #3.6million - #6million = #2.4million gross profit of annual profit. Which means she makes #200k monthly. To much for a girl her age.

From the desk of your unconventional business Coach.
My dear servant parents , How are you bringing your children up to impact their community, be independent, self reliant and productive?
If something unexpectedly happen to you now, God forbid it's not your time! Yes, it's true no body has a crystal ball how or what will happen . I became an orphan at 8yrs.
If you are no more in this world like now bloodlines are selfish and ones burden is far heavier .
Will they be able to live your dream for them ?
Can your current job or business help you plan ahead for the future you want for them?
What survival tools are you equipping them with?
Go through this questions mindfully and internalize all it all. Begin to imagine, access the patterns you are living now. When is their school fees, you beg to pay etc..
Look how life is already tough for you. Will you allow them to have a personal experience or learn from yours? Making an exit parental plan with obtainable practically parental goals tis the best parental security you can relay on not your retirement plan.. After all I have seen a lots of senior civil servants worked hard retired but are still twice active in service because they have to keep their children marriages and send their grandkids to school.
You can start a movement in your family, one child, one product.
Thank you for listening to my TEDx talk.
May God open your eye to see profits in problems. Wealth in challenges.
I am your Unconventional business Coach Victoria.
