EMPOWERING BOSS LIFE

What inspired you to start your own business?

Fabiana Africain: In 2020, the pandemic changed the way we lived, and with everyone staying home, masks became a necessity. This sparked the idea for my online store—I started by designing masks to meet the growing demand, and from there, my creativity expanded into designing unique clothing, wallets, coffee mugs, and more.

Then, in 2023, I attended my Pastor's business seminar, where he shared valuable insights on financial growth and entrepreneurship. His guidance and encouragement inspired me to step into the world of self-publishing. Since then, I have authored 15 books, using my writing as a way to share knowledge, inspire others, and continue growing as an entrepreneur. Both of these ventures stemmed from a desire to create, adapt, and find new opportunities to provide value to others.

Can you share a bit about what your business does?

Fabiana Africain: I am a self-published author with 15 books since 2023, sharing my passion for storytelling and knowledge through my writing. In addition to my work as an author, I also run an e-commerce store, which I launched in 2020 during the pandemic. Through my store, I design and sell unique clothing, wallets, coffee mugs, and more—blending creativity with everyday essentials. My business allows me to express my artistic vision across different mediums, whether through books that inspire and inform or custom-designed products that bring personality and style to my customers' lives.

What makes your business unique within your industry?

Fabiana Africain: My business stands out because it is solution-driven. Each of my 15 books is designed to address real-life challenges, offering practical advice and guidance. For example, The Secret Sauce for a Successful Relationship provides valuable insights on finding a soulmate and avoiding relationships that don’t align with your goals. My books have received five-star reviews and cater to a wide audience, including singles looking for clarity in their personal lives.

Additionally, my online store is unique because it goes beyond selling pre-designed products—I offer custom design services for businesses looking for personalized merchandise. Companies reach out to me for unique, high-quality designs tailored to their brand, making my store not just a marketplace but a creative hub for custom branding solutions.

Could you tell us about some of the challenges you've faced while running your business and what you've learned from them?

Fabiana Africain: One of the biggest challenges I faced as an author came after publishing my book, Prayers Against Different Types of Spiritual Problems. This book provides powerful prayers for deliverance, helping people overcome various spiritual struggles. However, because it is a tool for setting people free, I faced significant spiritual opposition. I firmly believe that when we step into our purpose and start making an impact, challenges will arise—especially when we are climbing the ladder of success.

Recognizing this, I turned to fasting and prayer to overcome the resistance I faced. Through faith and perseverance, I won the victory, and this book has since become one of my most popular titles, earning five-star reviews from readers who have experienced its impact. This experience reinforced an important lesson: Challenges often come as confirmation that we are on the right path, and with faith, determination, and resilience, we can overcome any obstacle that stands in our way.

Looking ahead, where do you see your business in three years?

Fabiana Africain: With God's grace and the support of my amazing husband, who retired me in 2023, I see my business continuing to prosper and succeed over the next three years. I plan to expand my reach, publishing more books that provide solutions to everyday challenges and growing my e-commerce store to serve even more businesses with custom designs.

Beyond financial success, my goal is to inspire and encourage others on their entrepreneurial journeys. I want to show that with faith, perseverance, and the right mindset, success is possible. My business is not just about growth—it's about creating a lasting impact and empowering others to achieve their dreams.

What motivates you to pursue this vision? What drives your passion for your business?

Fabiana Africain: My biggest motivation is my passion for helping others. Through my books, I am able to provide guidance and solutions to real-life challenges, and knowing that my words resonate with people and make a difference keeps me inspired. Each book I write is relatable and designed to empower, uplift, and bring clarity to those who need it.

When it comes to my e-commerce business, my passion is fueled by creativity. I love designing unique items and incorporating my original quotes—things consumers won’t find in a typical mall. The ability to create meaningful, one-of-a-kind designs that people connect with and appreciate brings me joy and fulfillment. Whether through writing or design, my vision is to continue making an impact by offering value, inspiration, and authenticity.

For those hoping to become entrepreneurs themselves, what advice would you give them based on your own experiences?

Fabiana Africain: My advice for anyone aspiring to be an entrepreneur is to always consult with God first before embarking on any journey. Our Father has already mapped out a plan for each of us, so it only makes sense to seek His guidance before making important decisions. As stated in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

When you align your business with God's purpose for your life, you will find clarity, direction, and favor. Challenges will come, but with faith, prayer, and perseverance, you can overcome them. Trust in His timing, remain committed to your vision, and always operate with integrity. Success isn’t just about financial gain—it’s about fulfilling your purpose and making a meaningful impact.

Faith. Purpose. Success.
