How I Turned My Daughter's Weakness To A Multimillion Business By Achukwu


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 piece๐Ÿ˜˜.

 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 ๐Ÿ˜‚. 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.๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿ™† 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 ๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿ˜ญ 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. 

๐Ÿค”What 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 milk๐Ÿ˜‚  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 ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡
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.

Wow๐Ÿ˜ 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.

๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”Where 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 ๐Ÿ˜€ 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. 
✔️ She will pay those she employed #3500 monthly  each and 10 of them annually  will earn  #42,000 annually #420,000 annually  spent on salaries.
✔️ Her marketing  strategy. Every months comes with  its uniqueness .
Jan, Feb,  to Dec
Her florial tag will represent  each season favorite  colors.   Jan, Feb for red and white  and  gold,   December with red, green  white and golden. 

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.
