In today 's episode of "Gursat Khubz" we will tell you about "Um Ayad"
Um Ayad is a woman who decided to develop on herself
and direct her skills and abilities towards sewing
" I know how to sew, and I do that since a long time
but i did that only for my family
one day I decided to open a store, and with the help of Allah I will succeed
and by doing that, I will be useful for my family and increase my income
first,I started looking for a place for my store, I thought about a store in Al-mansour street
and everyone was telling me to rent there
but I was shocked with high prices of rent
Then step by step I found a place that is near to my house
I found this store which is in an alley, it's location is almost hidden from sights
She didn't realize that she will suffer like that,
consequently, she face a big loss at the beginning
I have been here in this store for four years, the first two I didn't receive any financial or social benefits
I faced only loss
most people advised me to close the store
since that it's not useful considering to it's location and reputation.
"Um Ayad" tried to think out of the box and to think in a different matter
she resorted to modern mean, which is Facebook
she created a page named after her store on Facebook and offered all its products
Her daughter helped her
and she started working in another direction which is organizing weddings and make special gifts and other occasions
when we created the page online, the popularity of our work was totally different
people started coming from other areas and even remote ones
it is true that they face difficulty to reach us since that the store is inside an alley
but we noticed the difference between before and after the publicity
Our work and production were developing, we started to sew party gowns, and organizing parties, weddings, occasions, kids' parties
she didn't stop there,
she tried to develop her work and the website
by adding home delivery service
so many people considering to the current circumstance and situations are not able to reach the store
so we develop "home delivery" service that facilitate reaching our goods to the customer
the delivery man comes and takes the requested good and deliver it to the customer
This service is not only in Baghdad but also in other governors, Amman, and the latest order we received was from Germany
after that " Um Ayad" thought about expanding the staff
and indeed she manged doing that
the nice thing is that all the girls were married and have children
but that didn't stop them from working
my advise to all girls is to work from their houses
their work doesn't necessary have to be a job in a governmental institution or a job in a company
just produce anything from their houses and exploit the internet and Facebook
and all means that will make their work seen and introduced to people
there are a lot of people who used these means and develop their work by
our page started from a hobby and this hobby was introduced to people through Facebook
we didn't expect that within less than a year this hobby will become a real work and project
in less than one year, page members reached 20,000 member
people 's interaction was very encouraging for us to develop our work and make our dream come true
as long as there is hard working, vim, and will there will be no failure
there are lessons to be learned from our mistakes and our fallback and try to overcome them towards progression
and never stay in the same place
if we did, people will abandon us and head towards whatever new and developed
so, developing ourselves is a must, fixing the mistakes in our work and the most importantly never give up, and try to develop by time
wait for us on a new episode of " Gursat Khubz" and don't forget to share this story with your friends.....
