Woman Crush Wednesday.

We love to celebrate female movers and shakers who are successful locally, nationally, internationally, and most importantly, personally.

This week, we asked Melissa Hill, founder of clothing label, Ooshie:

"What is your biggest advice for success?"

“For me, being a fashion designer with no formal training other than a creative passion and a strong “will” to see my vision come to life, one of the biggest piece of advice would be “believe that you can.”

I had to convince myself that I was just as good or better than the designers that I admired. Also, as a woman, one of our greatest gifts is our intuition. USE IT! I can definitely say that second guessing myself in the beginning led to a lot of expensive and costly mistakes.

When it comes to your business, no one will see the vision the way you do, and DO NOT expect them to. Put your vision first because it is your company.”
