Meet Tartiyana Idiong | Entrepreneur

We had the good fortune of connecting with Tartiyana Idiong and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tartiyana, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Financial Freedom. I did not want to be tied down to a job doing the same routine. I get bored really easily. I wanted to earn money doing something creative, meeting inspiring people, live my life doing something that I love. When you are doing something you are really passionate about, it does not really feel like work. I also want to build generational wealth. I want to know that I lived a life of positive impact. I have always been an entrepreneur at heart, my mind is always coming up with different creative ways to make money. I want to be able to make money in my sleep, minimal effort, maximum return.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I love Fashion and Photography. I have always loved it since I was a kid. It just always sparks joy in my heart every time I am doing what I love. I feel alive. I love being creative and anything that has to do with media which led me to start a Youtube Channel. I also love Fashion designing which led me to creating clothes, cups, bags and other things. Photography is why I started modelling. I love how you can be anyone or anything you wanted, I love the transformation of clothes and makeup and the escape it gives. I love singing

One thing I love about Social media is that you have a voice. How you use it is up to you. I am extremely proud of myself for taking a leap of faith to move to a whole different country. My life has been through 3 main phases. Construction: when I started my career back in Nigeria. Deconstruction: moving to a whole new country, starting my career from scratch. Reconstruction: Building something better. I would like to say I’m in the third phase but it is in process. It has not been easy but we thank God. I am proud of the woman I am becoming because these phases in life led me to have a family of my own and 2 beautiful kids that I adore. It also led me to discover my passion for baby and children photography, I am currently learning how to master this new skill

One thing about me is I am very goal driven, once I set my mind out to do something. I get it done.
Lesson I have learned will be growing up is a blessing and it is fun, enjoy the journey. Be kind to people no matter what. Appreciate peoples hustle, don’t be proud.
I just want to live a life that inspires others to dream and achieve their dreams. I want to be successful.
