Name of Business: ADANIAS Boutique

Name: Adania Cornejo

Location: Yorba Linda, CA

Type of Business: Women's Boutique

When and why did you start the biz? Fashion is my Passion. Since little, I always doing business, trying to sell things to my classmates & always dream of having my own business. I like to be creative/different/unique and love to help womens to feel empower, ready to take chances and daring to be different. Open in October 2007

What's the toughest part of running your biz? Trying to be a great wife, mother and business woman. Having so many areas to cover, so many projects to develop and discover that there is only 24hrs in a day. Trying to be creative to keep the business running - specially nowdays.

What's the most fun part? Taking care of my clients, helping them to build confidence while they look great at the same time. Getting to know them, building a relationship, and earning/getting their trust. They know, they can trust my opinion. As much as I would like to sell an item or outfit but if does not do too much to them, I'll tell them. I know they have family, friends, etc that will tell the true...

If they look good, I look good, so I want them to look their best, to earn their trust so they can keep coming.

What's next on the horizon for your biz? To grow, to open more boutiques and to have a sucessfull website where my clients can shop no matter where they are. To be able to do a great marketing/branding for my boutique. Always keeping in mind the integrity of my business and the quality to my clients. As my tag line says to make it "Where Shopping Becomes a Necessity"

What advice do you have for others? Don't give up! When others see problems you must see possibilities. Whenever somebody tell you it cannot be done, take it as a water to a plant, an incentive to keep going. Have a passion, love what you do...because is not easy but is so rewarding to see your dreams becoming a sweet reality. To be able to stand and said "I did it"!!!

Prior jobs or business or education? Helping my husband managing his uniform's business - I used to work on accounting. Executive secretary and took 2 yrs of business. Bilingual.

Is there any one person or event in your life that led you to go into business for yourself?

My mother. My parents divorced when I was 5 (I'm the baby of 6) and she always took care of us, gave us the best in all areas. It was not easy for her, never received alimony or any help, but she worked hard and show us that everything was possible by working hard and never giving up!
