"If you have an idea, start with what you can. When I had my idea, I didn't straightaway quit my job, I went for many workshops, once the data is run, only then I started Orkid Cosmetics.

You don't have to open a shop, you don't have to have a website. You can start with social media. When you have people buying from social media, Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook marketplace, that means the demand is there.

Always start small." - Raeesa Sya
