Wardrobe Stylist & Image Consultant - Lawnette Lucille
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Lawnette Lucille, founder of Lawnette Lucille LLC., located in West Palm Beach, FL, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Lawnette Lucille LLC. is a wardrobe consultation business. My customers, ranging from fashion publications to working moms, are people seeking assistance with their style.
Tell us about yourself
In 2009, a very good friend of mine suggested that I start "styling." At the time, I had no idea what that meant, but after doing a bit of research and teaming up with other local creatives, I was well on my way to building a portfolio. Since then, I've had over 45 editorials published in 29 fashion publications, including Vogue Italia. Although working in the Fashion industry was a blast, it was my dream to bring my sense of style to people's everyday lives... hence Lawnette Lucille LLC. Knowing that I can make a difference in how a person views themselves motivates me day in and day out.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Seeing my work in the pages of magazines and on people celebrating momentous occasions in their lives is my biggest accomplishment as a business owner.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The mandatory need to adapt is one of the hardest parts of being a business owner. COVID, for example, forced me to change my business model in order to survive.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Do a ton of research, study your competitors and seek inspiration.
- Have a business plan and/or model in place to follow as best you can.
- Don't give up after a few failures; persistence is the key to longevity.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
I'm known for pushing boundaries in regards to my own wardrobe and pride myself in encouraging my clients to do the same! Overall, I want people to know that achieving your desired look doesn't have to be an intimidating or overly expensive process… that's what sets my services apart from others.
