FEATURE FRIDAY: NGOZI ATTA (JAGA BEAUTY)

Welcome to #featurefriday and today we have @jagabeauty who tells us about her business and shares her experience as an entrepreneur with us.


Jagabeauty provides natural skincare solutions and beauty essentials for the everyday woman’s total transformation and confidence restoration. .
We do this via trainings (online and off line), Consultation, sales and recommendation of safe skincare, beauty and personal care products .

I’m glad to say that our brand can be rated dependable and has over 12 years received an admirable recognition in the beauty industry even in the face of challenges.

The most recent being last year. We got unpleasant feedback concerning one of our products ‘Brushlove’, a makeup brush cleaner. Apparently a certain batch sold gave off an offensive smell when used and this caused a major drop in demand and sales.

My first reaction and emotions were that of disappointment and fear. I felt terrible, especially not knowing how many people would have experienced this and made their conclusions.
I asked the Holy Spirit for wisdom and then reached out to 2 of my team members and we immediately decided to put out a public apology online and then recalled as many of the bottles as we could and sent replacements without further charges. It wasn’t an easy feat but we were determined to learn and grow from that experience. .

My advise to Entrepreneurs would be, “Don’t be afraid of failure… It wouldn’t even exist the moment you begin to consider your set backs as opportunities to evolve and expand”.

INSPIRE MONDAY: OPRAH WINFREY’S PRACTICAL ADVICE TO HAVING A SUCCESSFUL LIFE

Practical advise by Oprah Winfrey to having a successful life.

1) Don’t measure your success by the amount of money you have. Measure it by the milestones you’ve reached and the challenges you’ve conquered to be a better person.


2) Focus on your own path. Make sure it’s made clear. Know what you want for your life and not merely what another person is doing. Know your path and make it clear.


3) Don’t be anxious for the future, things will work out. Keep doing what you need to. Anxiety does not add to the progress of things but it can take away.


4) Your self-esteem should not be tied to your success. Setbacks can happen which can in turn make you unhappy because your happiness and confidence is tied to it. “You realize to some extent, success is beyond our control” – Oprah Winfrey

5) Decisions have to be made. Life is all about decisions. Not everything can be fixed but a decision can set things on course, the important things. “The best decision you can make is to use your life in service.” – Oprah Winfrey.


6) Success is a process. You can’t expect a huge success overnight. It is built up. It requires diligence and consistency.


We hope this post was enlightening, share a comment in the comment section to let us know what you’ve learnt or additional tips or lessons you’ve learnt over the years regarding success.

  • Want to slay your goals like a master? Here are 5 valuable lessons from Beyonce’s Homecoming. Tap the link in our bio for more!
  1. You must be willing to sacrifice: To make big moves, you must be willing to sacrifice. This is the part where most people get stuck, because sacrifice is on many occassion uncomfortable. If you are on a mission to achieve big goals, you must sacrifice time, energy and money.
  2. Achieving your big goals will be uncomfortable. Beyonce had to train hard to perform at the level she was used to. According to her, “In order for me to meet my goal, I’m limiting myself to no bread, no carbs, no sugar, no dairy, no meat, no fish, no alcohol…”
  3. Understand your why. In Homecoming, Beyoncé’s priorities were clear—yes, she wanted to bring Coachella a performance like no other while highlighting her culture and leaving a mark for many years to come. She also, however, made it clear that she wanted to do all of that with her husband and children by her side as often as possible.
  4. Don’t overlook the little details. Beyoncé shows us that being able to clearly see the micro and macro views of our goals positions us to slay.
  5. Always give your all. Homecoming showed us what going all-in looks like. It showed us that in order to see massive success, we must put our all into every single piece of the puzzle. It showed us that above all else, achievement takes heart—and Beyoncé has plenty of that.

Have you seen homecoming? Tell us about your experience below.
