Her Circle Feature #4: Sy Aaron-" The Serial Entrepreneur"

Sy Aaron
The Serial Entrepreneur
 Her Circle Love
 
        "Dare to be different. It's okay to be country with a Hollywood mind." These are the words of Sy Aaron. Down to earth, with a true entrepreneurial spirit, she is a true example of what it means to put your dreams to the test, and get  dynamic results.    Taking on her father's business of ice sculpting, she developed her own company, Creative Image Ice. However, she does more than beautifully sculpt ice. Currently with more than a few business projects in the works, she presses on to develop even more positive ventures.  Ms. Aaron oversees Creative Image Ice, White Now Express, Say Yaluvme Lingerie, and The Ladies Room. Sy is the epitome of the serial entrepreneur, and one could learn a lesson or two from her drive and success.


                                                                                                               Personal Bio
 
       Raised in Little Rock, Sy started her first business in 2005, selling lingerie in the strip clubs, as what they call a "house mom".  Sy got her spirit of entrepreneurship honest, with great influence from a line of entrepreneurs in her family. With a father who managed to remain the only one in the state of Arkansas to carve ice sculptures, therefore remaining in a lane of his very own. As Sy watched this greatness growing up, she decided to keep the family business going when her father retired.




       In talking about her calling as a serial entrepreneur, Aaron comments as following. "Now, the "serial entrepreneur" part of me came from my grandfather on my mother's side, whom built his business by hand, brick by brick.  In that building, he opened a records store, liquor store, a juke joint that brought many famous blues singers here, such as Marvin Sease, and he also had a clothing store called Baggy Britches, and ran them all!" It is evident that Ms. Aaron was born into greatness, and as she says, got those genes honestly from both sides of the family.

 A Mother's Motivation
 
       Sy Aaron has proven that she is definitely a "BOSS", literally, as she as quoted before. She works hard and plans hard, always on top of what's next. When asked, Aaron says that this inspiration was stimulated by her being a single mother of 2 boys.  She quotes, " I just never wanted to get comfortable with the idea of struggling, so I was  determined to do two things and that was not to depend on the welfare system all my life, and I also wanted to lead by example and show my sons 101 ways to get money without being in the streets to get it." Sy prides herself in setting the bar high for herself early on and sticking to it.  It is this innate drive and the inspiration of her boys that keep her wheels of ingenuity constantly spinning. Don't let her fool you, Ms. Aaron is a true hustler, in that she has a business savvy that surpasses many others.

                                                         Question and Answer Corner:
 

Q: What is your favorite scripture or quote that you live by?
 
A:  I wholeheartedly believe God with this scripture...Ephesians 3:20: Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us."
 

Q: What are your goals for your current projects?
A:  I'm working towards building a brand.  I'm going to continue to explore new ideas because I want REAL money, multiple streams of income, flippn' it, flippn' it, flippn' it, bankn it!

 
Q:What advice could you give to young women interested in business?
A:  "The best advice I learned was dare to be different. My advice is to be careful who you share your ideas with because not all people are supporters and the moment you recognize the “hate” (usually by their response) don’t say another word, hold your tongue and transition on to another topic. Also, don't be afraid to invest in what you think will work for YOU. If you've done ALL your research and it's a gut feeling and you have nothing to lose, then just do it. Do what you want to do with confidence! Be bold! Whoever don't like it, they'll get use to it! And in business, you have to put yourself out there and stop hiding behind emails, fb, twitter and all these social sites...which are extremely great avenues to promote, but you have to get out and shake hands with other business owners. Have more of those friends than kicking friends. Make yourself go to business functions/ workshops/ seminars or whatever, because there is ALWAYS something you can learn. And while your working on one project, get started with brainstorming for the next big thing, keep yourself in the loop and your name out there! And last but not least....you're in business to make money! Share hustles before you steal hustles! Stealing another persons idea says nothing but one thing about you....bad business! So hustle hard and  put that hat on that says....Go-Getter"

Q: What can we expect in the future from you and your projects?
A: "Well, I'm working on a huge hush, hush project right now with The Ladies Room, and I hope to collaborate with all businesses from here and the outskirts of the city. I'm over excited about it and all the ladies are going to really enjoy this one. A portion will be donated to one of the battered women shelters here. I want to also put together a program called Homeless2Home and assist the homeless step by step to regaining their own independence instead of handicapping them with handouts. I'm also working on a system to propose to the school district, action that has never been taking before, that should help minimize bullying in schools by pointing out the bullies as a group."
