Today we’d like to introduce you to Stacey Lynn Emerson.
Stacey Lynn, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I started with a desire and dream to be a designer and wardrobe stylist to the stars. At a young age I knew that I wanted to be in fashion so with big dreams I began my online clothing store, immediately after graduating college with a dual degree in Physical Therapy and Exercise Science. As instructed by my mother I did something practical getting a career in area that would sustain me as I followed my dreams to be a fashion designer and wardrobe stylist. So for a few months I worked as Physical Therapist Assistant solely until I mustered up the courage to open up the online store. When I opened I didn’t receive one sale, I didn’t consult one person and I did not know what marketing was…. I JUST DID IT! Although this seems silly it was the best thing I had ever done because if I hadn’t started that day prior to learning I probably would not have started. What I realized is the more I learned the more I realized I didn’t know enough. Right? Wrong. The moment I started was the more I realized that I was purposed in fashion. God had given me a gift not only of style but of positive FAITH that all things will work out despite what it looked like. So, as I continue this journey I am learning daily how to do new things and how to grow my business. I am learning facets of fashion that I had no idea existed and I am loving the journey. So, how did I get to where I am today? Faith, knowledge and God’s promise to complete a good work in me.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I cannot say it has been smooth or easy. In fact, it has been the most difficult experience I have had in life but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I d0n’t believe anything worth having is easy. You appreciate the things you work for, the things you sweat over and the things that keep you on your toes. Learning how to be in business and be the business has been a challenge in itself but learning how to do business was just the tip of the iceberg for difficulty. The long nights and mind control that it takes to continue in business when things don’t seem to work out the way you planned is the biggest challenge. Daily convincing yourself as a business owner that you are enough, you are special, you are successful is the part that most people only glaze over when taking about entrepreneurship. Your mind is the rough road that you have to constantly pave over every day in order to one day see the fruit of your labor. The struggle to tear down generational curses of complacency, comfort and poverty is some of the other obstacles that must be overcome in order to build a successful business. So, has this road been easy? No, but this road is necessary and appreciated to say the least. The late nights, the early mornings, the broke weeks and the long months of hoping for a sale was not easy but I wouldn’t trade it for the world because the lesson is in the hard work.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with HER Treasures Boutique – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
HER Treasures Boutique is an online clothing store focused on empowering women to be proud to “HER” through fashions that go beyond societal classifications of style. We provide women’s clothing from S to 3x specializing in clothing that is for a sexy yet classy audience. We are known for our quality, style and great customer service. I am most proud that despite what the trends are we stay in our own lane allowing our motto to always shine through. I would say that our ability to cater to HER both externally and internally through our clothing is what sets us apart from most companies. Allowing us to speak to HER through our choice of styles and filling her internally with confidence letting her know she is a Treasure to this earth.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
Our future goals are to branch into a fashion production company including a design and production center for wholesale and retail production of fashions, a modeling school, etiquette and self-esteem classes, along with career development courses focusing on the arts. I plan to expand HER Treasures Boutique to many parts of the world with the emphasis on empowering women around the world to be confident and to trust in their dreams. We are also in the near future looking to start a non-profit to assist women less fortunate and providing care in other parts of the world. We are also looking forward to continuously growing our brand and allowing our marketing to improve.
