Liz Kitua: I quit my pilot job to start tailoring and design shop

Dressing women is hectic business, says Liz. It takes a special kind of patience to mollify a woman who isn’t happy with your product, or with how it makes her feel/look. It’s a skill Liz has had to sharpen.

Cash flows were not consistent – the good months were good, the bad ones were horrid. “There were those when I’d pay all what I needed but had nothing for myself to take home.” In these dry months Liz would wonder if she had made a mistake: “But even on those bad days you know at the back of your mind that it’s going to be OK.”

Liz is a one-woman powerhouse. Kidosho lives and breathes on her shoulders, she isn’t open to partnering just yet. She plans to return to school for her management and entrepreneurship skills. Her plan for her business is to start exporting her designs and growing a men’s line called Ume. 

HOW SHE DID IT:

  •   Liz expected failure: she was aware that all what was planned would not happen as she wanted. Things went wrong but she remained focused.
  •   Liz prayed and focused on the positive: even if she was struggling she was happy to be in.
  •   Liz had a strong support system that believed in her.
  •   Liz put in the hard work to get her business to where she wanted it.
