 Thank you so much. I love you guys so much. I wonder where I'm going to start because it has been such a beautiful journey. It has been such a tough journey. But all the same year here and I only have God to say thank you to. So I stand here alone right now and you're seeing me alone on this stage. But as you've seen there's an army behind me. I don't come alone. I come as a package with people who are right behind me. People who support me unapologetically. People who will rally with me every single day, every single time I call out onto them. And you are also part of that team. Thank you so much for honoring this invite to come here on a Wednesday evening to celebrate a new birth, a new journey for Flair, a brand that I love so so much. After Ivana my daughter who's here tonight. Ivana, how are you mommy? Okay mommy. Flair was the next thing I gave birth to or a birth. A brand that I really have given so much passion, so much energy to and I continue to do that and that's why we're here today. So behind me is a lot of people. A lot of people who always believe in my dreams and a lot of people who have always wanted to support what Betty is up to. And today I just want to first also just say thank you to my family. They came here and the beautiful words, dad, mom, glory and mercy. The beautiful words that you guys spoke about me were just a blessing and for sure I no believe that Flair by Betty is blessed from today because I believe that family is everything. I want to say thank you to all my friends who are here who just left everything that they were doing and decided to come here and just celebrate with us. I see you and I appreciate all of you. Thank you so so much. Give yourself a round of applause please. Thank you. I'd like to say thank you to a lot of people but before I go into the details of some very very special people I want to say thank you today. I just want to say something about my entrepreneurship journey. Jalango asked me earlier why are you moving location? This is the third time you're actually moving location and I said you know what my dream the energy I have for my clients is to always deliver nothing but excellence. I always believe in excellence and that's why if it takes another location to be excellent we will go for it unapologetically again. And so this new location was birthed from a very tough time like my manager said. It was birthed at a time whereby a lot of businesses you know were going through a lot and still are. Businesses have been tough and any entrepreneur here today you know for a fact that things are not okay. Am I right to any entrepreneur here? And so I decided wait a minute I'm not stupid. I have a brain that God gave me. How can I resuscitate? How can I breathe a new life into this brand that I truly truly love? How will I make clients to come back? How will I make clients to stay even longer? How will I make new clients to come and taste our services? And that's why me and my team I did not do it alone. I have a beautiful beautiful team came together and said wait a minute what is it that is wrong? Why are we not making the money that we want to make? What are the mistakes we are making? Why are we not getting there? Yes we're okay we're doing okay but okay is not good enough for me and for the any brand that I create it has to be excellent. And therefore we sat down and said okay fine what is wrong with this location? What is not working about this location? The previous location that is you know a lot of you have been there and one of the issues was that a simple thing as parking you know my clients are big deals and but we respect everybody but you know they come there with their pushers many many rejovers there and they can't find parking. So you ask them oh by the same park up to easy to see if it's okay somebody telling somebody to park their range or any other car outside is a problem on the street and so I just decided okay that is one issue. Another issue is that power blackouts I'm an Indian entrepreneur those are small things to other people but things like that can change a lot about a business and how you run a business. And I was like constant power blackouts this generator keeps failing I'm like okay now what? So there are a lot of things that I figured I'm like this is not this is not it and even the look the previous location and it's so it's so interesting how life works because in 2020 doing the pandemic I saw that location and I was like where? I went and told my people and I was so excited and we created Flair back then but then now I'm just like actually I want a swanky place I want an instagramable place because the other place was quite old but I love the other place by the way it is just a three years and I was like you know what there's something different I want you to just do or change about Flair and I was like I want a little spank a lot of color I don't want the wooden feel of it because it's a very old house I want to breathe in a fresh look for my clients to come there and enjoy and I promise you when we go upstairs with a big reveal you will see exactly what I'm talking about and I think this is just an encouragement to any entrepreneur here tonight. I want to tell you something sometimes you feel like it business and it happens to all of us you get discouraged all the time but the answer is the solution is take a step back we need to take steps back we need to lock out the noise and figure out what is it that I can make better what is it that I can look better to make sure that we stay afloat everything needs a comeback talk about relationships talk about friendships and now talk about businesses every situation is worth a comeback and I just want to tell you guys don't fear comebacks don't fear starting afresh do not fear what is it that you can get um you know knock on the door get a note you see that's it but you know let's keep going for our dreams let's not get a hiccup and then we say like well I mean did your true business say easy work but let's keep trying let's keep going let's think we need to think we need to ask ourselves we need to ask people around us wait a minute what do you think about my business when you see it as an audience as a as a person from the outside and then take that and actually try to improve and so it's a it's a challenge to all of us I'm here to talk about comeback power let's have that comeback power in all of us in everything that we do including including our friendships our relationships our marriages and our businesses let's have comeback power let's not believe in being knocked out let's continue going and so with that there's about three or four brands that I want to truly appreciate today and I really need your attention for this because as I said when I started I have a big team behind me I have an army I'm here alone but I'm representing dreams I'm representing brands of so many business people but so many people and I just want to say thank you to
