Welcome to The Project Future Podcast, for people looking to launch and build their own amazing business, with me, Rob Kerr. A few years ago, I asked myself: “How can people considering starting a business be confident they are making the right decision, and how can they improve their chances of success?” The answer has become my book titled Project Future: 6 Steps to Success as Your Own Boss, a Facebook group called The Project Future Club, where we support each other to launch and build our own amazing businesses, and this podcast, where every Tuesday a business owner shares their story, including great tips about what to do, and what not to do, when launching and growing a business to empower you to make better decisions on your own journey. You’ll find the show notes and transcripts at www.robkerr.co.uk So, in these uncertain times, if starting a business could be the right option for you and your family, read the book, join the Facebook group and enjoy the show!

Here in Episode 18, I speak with YEGA, a lawyer and marketing professional turned fashion illustrator.
Primarily working in the fashion industry since 2015, she specialises in using her art as a branding and visual communication tool in the language of luxury.
She has worked with some of the world's top brands and her works have covered walls at The Dubai Mall and been on display at perhaps the world’s most iconic luxury department store- Harrods.
YEGA is the Founder/ Creative Director of FASHION ILLUSTRATION AFRICA- the only online platform dedicated to championing and promoting the art of fashion illustration on the African continent.
She is also on the board of the Association of Children’s Authors and Illustrators of Nigeria (ACAIN).
In this brilliant conversation YEGA explains:
- How she initially sought a ‘respectable’ job
- What she overcame to publish her initial artwork
- What social media has added to her journey
- How she built momentum and realised fashion illustration could be a career
- Why learning every day is part of the job
- How success was a mixture of serendipity and being prepared
- Why she’s still excited and has a sense of wonder about her work
- The key to winning
- That knowing an option exists is vital for young people
- Why it’s ok to say you don’t know the answer
- And finally, why people who start businesses are not leprechauns!
YEGA’s best advice is to talk to more business owners and learn from them.
Enjoy!
