Q: Where did it all start for you? I am a 22 year-old senior premed student in college right now, but have always loved art in the form of calligraphy, beautiful colors/textures/mediums, cakes, and all that comes with upscale events. As I am wrapping up my time in undergrad I really want to take time off after I graduate to pursue the things that truly interest me, and maybe even start a business. But it's a huge leap. So I am wondering, how did you get your start? ?
A: I started my business out of my apartment in NYC all by myself with nothing but passion and a dream over 14 years ago. I had studied graphic design and art in college and knew I loved designing and creating for others. I also am one of those crazy people who have that entrepreneurial fire in my belly and have always been busy doing projects on the side all my life in my free time. Which is honestly how #CeciNewYork started. I was designing invitations during my off hours for coworkers and friends when, before I knew it, my name was being passed around and people were suddenly reaching out to me to design for them! It was a reassuring feeling to know that people loved my work enough that they wanted me to design for their life's biggest occasions. I knew it was what I was meant to be doing because the passion was there for me from the very beginning and still is to this day. So that must mean something! The demand was overwhelming in the best way possible. I kept hearing over and over again that people were really looking for the special design that I could offer, so I studied the industry and realized I truly did offer something that no one else had. A personal exclusive design experience that was what people were really looking for. So it gave me the courage to follow my dreams and start my business.
My advice to you is to listen to that voice in your head and trust your instincts. If it's telling you to do it, then go for it. If it's saying focus on your medical degree, then probably best to wait because you really need to go all IN when starting a business. (See the rest in the comments.)
