Today we’d like to introduce you to Abioduni Martin.
Hi Abioduni, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started de.com.co, Do Everything Wonderfully, in October 2014. At the time, it was just a color-change car wrapping business. I was still learning the trade, wearing many hats, and focused on growing the business in any way that I could. I worked night shifts as a security guard at adult-only clubs just to keep the lights on in my shop when business wasn’t plentiful. I endured and sacrificed so much just to be successful in my perspective industries. As I started to expand in the signage business, I learned different skills to advance my knowledge in the field. I started to get overwhelmed with the responsibilities and the pressures of owning a company. No one really talks about the struggles entrepreneurs face when embarking on this journey. However, I made it today by believing and having faith in my ability to endure hardships and surrounding myself with positive individuals.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
When you take on an exciting task like opening a business, you will face obstacles that will end friendships, and you could lose your family. There is no balanced lifestyle in the beginning. Challenges in business are ongoing, and one must continue to have a positive mindset to continue moving forward and achieve one’s goals. I have struggled during the years trying to find the right employees to do the work I can no longer do. Training the right people is also a struggle because you must try to retain the people you trained to stay with the company you are building long enough.
