Default Flying solo, too...
Hi All,

My name is May and I have just started my online business selling sleepwear and loungewear. After working in the corporate world for so many years, I have decided to take the plunge and "fly solo".... I am finance trained but my passion lies in fabric, design and fashion. Hence, the launched of my business www.lilaque.com. I hope to be able to deliver beautiful, practical and affordable lounge wear and sleepwear to women who loves a little indulgence, especially after a hard day at work.

I run this business from home and am still trying to grow it. It has been a very challenging and productive year for me. Huge learning curve and hope all my hard work will pay off one day!

I have never posted on any forums before and this is my first. I have been coming to this site for some time now and really love the supportive community here.

Visit my site and give me some feedback.

I am looking forward to meeting everyone....

xoxo May

Welcome on board.

So what was it that was the turning point for you to step out of a secure corporate job and move into the world of a soloist?

Your site looks great by the way!

Welcome to the forums!

Just had a look at your website, looks great!

Easy, simple and clean, plus great products.

The free shipping is a great idea, I offer that to my clients too and it's a big hit.

Best of luck =)

Hi All,

Thanks for making me feel welcome!

exstatic: I left the rat race to enjoy a more balanced lifestyle....
However, I am putting so much hard work in my business nowadays, not sure if I really have a more "balanced lifestyle"! My mind is constantly churning and thinking of new ways to push my site, products, brand etc out there.... I guess I need to learn how to "tune out" sometimes....

Cheers,
May
