With the time of youth comes new ideas and initiatives full of creativity and energy in all fields to make their path and professional success, and the young woman Hala invested her skills and aspirations to enrich herself in entrepreneurship, where she was able to develop her ideas and translate them on the ground to move from a culture of waiting for opportunities to a culture of production, creativity, leadership and innovation, To achieve a project with knowledge and work through which it embodies its success story under the title of challenge and persistence, to confirm that young people are an important and influential figure in any work they do because of their capabilities, competencies and skills through which they write inspiring success stories in various disciplines.
The young woman, Hala, recounts her experience in the world of small projects and entrepreneurship, which was like a dream for her to present products with international standards and attractive modern methods, to prove her worth, achieve excellence, and climb the ladder of professional development through her work in the field of manufacturing natural creams that are free of chemicals and start from scratch to reach the ladder of success.
The first step
Hala Zahi, 23, from the town of Aqraba, southeast of Nablus, talks about the coincidence that made her start her work to become a producer and trainer in the field of soap, creams, and detergents. She says about the beginning: The idea came to my mind in 2018 after the arrival of my little nephew. I make soap for him as distributions at his arrival party, and I read about the subject and researched it. I tried it and it worked for me from the first time, and this was the first sign for me to start in this field and innovate in it later and expand. The Corona pandemic was a great advantage as I took advantage of the stone period to get many courses and develop myself at work. And take advantage of every minute of it for work and creativity.
And she continues: I started with soap distributions, then the project began to grow slowly. After the success of the soap, I started reading, researching and expanding on the subject, and I found the great need to return to nature and natural products for skin and body care. Then I joined many courses in Jordan, Egypt, Syria and other countries and obtained a certificate to practice the profession. From Jordan, to exceed the number of courses I attended, ninety, for the manufacture of therapeutic and natural creams and all cosmetic products, and I started giving courses in this field, all of which are licensed by the Ministry of Labor.
Hard work and development
Beginnings are always simple, but they are a great incentive for those who have ambition to develop the idea and fly in the world of work, creativity, and launching into the world of leadership and self-empowerment through projects that start small and then grow with the passage of time. Made with love reflects the content inside it and makes it reach people faster and more
She says: I worked in all kinds of creams, hair oils, and serums, making and distributing them, and relying on wholesale sales more than individual orders. And perfumes. I sought for my products to have a distinctive scent in addition to the high quality. Body butter, scrub, and deodorant won the title of the three most popular, selling, and high-demand products, as well as hair oils and eyelash oil, all of which are certainly natural ingredients without chemicals, except for deodorant, which is 96 percent natural. Because it contains a preservative to last two years without damage.
And she continued: During the Corona period, I took multiple courses, and the quarantine period was my actual and strong start in this field, as I started working by manufacturing natural products for the skin and the body, and working from home. In society, to fulfill myself and be independent, and indeed it was the first experiment on a serum that treats pimples, and thank God, thanks to God, after effort, fatigue and patience, I released a serum for pimples and skin lightening, and it achieved overwhelming success and was the reason for my fame and people knowing me and the least I can describe the product as a serial killer, I sold a lot From it in bulk, people became acquainted with me, and I started collecting from the profits of selling it to make another product. Thus, I relied on myself and my project to develop it from its profits and advance it without resorting to the help of my family. I relied on myself and made myself successful from A to Z, and after that I began to issue one product after another every period according to A thoughtful plan that I set for myself, as the product usually needs thirty days of work on it and testing it before it is sold to the consumer, and its result is one hundred percent guaranteed.
Marketing and selling
Marketing is one of the main influences determining the project’s ability to survive and continue. It is the most important element in the life of the project, as it introduces people to the product and creates a real opportunity to increase revenues and the success of the project, which means its development and progress forward in the way of achieving success. About this final stage in the life of the project, Hala said: Every project has a marketing plan that must be followed for the success of the project. No matter how high-quality and content the products are without marketing them, people will not know them. This is often the main problem facing young projects that do not know how to promote themselves and wait for customers. Therefore, I did not adopt the policy of waiting for the customer to come to me. Rather, I was the one looking for customers and presenting to them the idea of buying my products, and I adopted the wholesale policy for the shops until I had a name and people began to know me to pass this stage and move to another stage where they are the ones who demand products, although this stage is the most difficult in the life of the project and required time, effort, work and planning However, after that it yielded a satisfactory and wonderful result for me, so each of us must strive and bring the customer to them without waiting. We are young people. We have energy and perseverance to work and strive continuously in order to achieve success. We must always persevere and knock on all doors, especially at the beginning until we reach our goal and then focus on productivity and development. In the project to reach beyond our dreams.
Excellence and diversity are the reason for success
Hala, who preferred to prove her worth and competence to work in her own project, despite the competitiveness in which the pioneering work is characterized and the spirit of challenge and determination is active in it every day, far from getting used to a specific service pattern or a routine job in which there is no creativity or renewal, because the nature of the pursuit of goals pushes us to work More creative and professional.
She speaks saying: In the presence of many youth projects, which may sometimes be similar to each other, whoever wants to succeed and reach the top must be distinguished from jealousy, and this distinction remains the secret of excellence and a tool for measuring the success of the project from its failure. What distinguishes my products in the first place is the effectiveness in addition to the scents, all of which are natural products that treat various problems that the skin, body and hair suffer from, for example, deodorant is different from the commercial products in the market, as it does not close the pores and works to lighten the skin, and its components include coconut oil and vitamins such as vitamin E and others Of the natural ingredients, and various and different skin creams, some of which are for lightening and others for moisturizing and to treat all skin problems such as pimples, pigmentation, etc., in addition to the hyaluronic acid serum, as hyaluronic acid absorbs a large percentage of the fluids that enter the body, so it works on deep moisturizing the layers of the skin and makes it more flexible and fresh. And it needs water to give lightening and hydration, in addition to multi-functional hair oils and uses, a set of shampoos and conditioners, and an oil-free bath without salts to activate hair growth, promote healthy growth, and make it strong, and other products that are discussed at length.
Mechanisms of action
The young woman in her twenties talks about her various products, working mechanisms, and trying new products and preparing them. She speaks with joy, saying: I make lotions and creams by hand, after I learned this craft, studied and delved into it, and made a decision that I would not buy skin care products from the market, so I learned, researched, studied, and loved manual work. Especially after I saw the obvious difference on my skin and hair after using the natural product and keeping away from chemical preparations. I originally studied a diploma in alternative medicine, and I took multiple courses in the field. My main source of income and my pioneering project, in addition to the fact that I give courses, as I mentioned, in manufacturing with a certificate licensed by the Ministry of Labor, in addition to special courses in epoxy, resin and candles.
And she continued her speech, saying: As for working on one formula, it requires me time, effort, and high concentration, because I do more than one combination of the product, and after trying them all, I adopt the occasion, then distribute free samples to customers to try them and know the result from them and what their observations are, and based on their feedback, I may need to amend the formula Or adopting it as it is, and the pleasure I have is to work, because working in the manufacture of products takes me out of the real world and walls to fly in the world of formulas, and nothing gives me my freedom like this work, especially since I aspire to replace natural skin care products in the place of chemical preparations in order to protect women’s skin from accumulations Chemicals, especially since the materials that I produce are made of natural oils, and do not form accumulations of substances that are difficult for the body to get rid of.
Ambition despite obstacles
Each of us has a desire to obtain a high position and a higher degree, and to achieve visible success in any work that he undertakes to possess the motivation and ability to achieve what he wants.
And about her ambition, Zahi speaks: I aspire to transform my project from a small workshop into a factory and call it Hala Beauty, the name for my products, and this is the step that I will take in the coming period, but I am only waiting for the right time, especially since I have delegates in all the West Bank and the occupied interior, and this is what made it easy. I have to work a lot and help me expand and spread and reach my products to a larger number of people despite the strenuous effort I made to reach this stage, but the result that I reached makes me forget the fatigue and be proud of myself and be happy.
And she addresses the difficulties in her speech, saying: Relying on yourself in making a special project is difficult, but if you look at your goal and work hard and love your work, you will reach it, and the difficulties we must overcome, whatever they are, and I am the type that does not get frustrated or despair penetrates into his heart, I was always looking for solutions And I overcome all obstacles, despite the lack of selling and relying on myself at the beginning, but I was working, selling, distributing, researching and developing day after day, especially since every bump has an important lesson that we learned. Materials that are forbidden to be entered by the occupation, the lack of packaging materials and the exploitation of some merchants with prices and other things, and I had to innovate in manufacturing and packaging using science and art, and my motto is always try and do not give up until you reach what you want.
With regard to the qualities that must be possessed to succeed in private projects, the most important of these qualities is that a person must be patient. To face the difficulties of manufacturing, and never get discouraged, and he should not look at the profit, but put before his eyes the success of his product, and he must test it on himself first and all those around him from the owners and relatives before putting it on the market.
