Inspiring Conversations with A’yahna Clayton of Pardonmystylez

Today we’d like to introduce you to A’yahna Clayton. 

Hi A’yahna, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
Hello, my name is A’yahna, 

When I first started my business, I knew I wanted to sell clothing and bathing suits, but I didn’t have a whole lot of money to do both. A couple days past by and as I was trying to figure out a plan, I came across these super cute sunglasses that were very cheap to buy and easy to resell. I told my mom that I was interested in starting with the sunglasses and that I would go from there, she agreed with my plan and offered to pay for them and said that I could just pay her back when I got ready. The sunglasses arrived 2 weeks after being purchased and they sold out the same day I was so amazed and knew that this was for me… I continue to order more and more and offered to give my mom back her money and she responded with its ok continue improving your business. Months and years go by and my business became local in my city and I started to get purchases every other day. And at that time, I was selling bathing suits summer sets, and sunglasses. I never had the mindset to settle for anything so I added more items, I can say over the past couple years my business has grown a lot and that’s because of my support team and the promotions that I paid for and me posting any product from my business on social media daily so that people would know and see what I have. 

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It’s not always easy when dealing with people. I Have came across a couple unhappy customers and did my best to make them happy again. Also, one of my biggest struggles was trying to add something new but also having to restock on an item because then I would have to spend more money than I’m supposed to. But it’s part of a business to set goals, limits, and launch dates that way things will be smooth for you on that end.
