Trendy scarfs.

I recently heard news of a close friend of mine starting her own small business. She's in her second year of university doing marketing and most surprisingly she's in Lebanon.

I tried once to get something of my own done in Lebanon but gave up as soon as the team I was trying to assemble discouraged me and told me that it wouldn't work in Lebanon. They were probably right; I had chosen the wrong time and I wasn't persuasive enough.
I am sure this friend of mine probably received the same type of discouragement at the beginning, and heard a lot of phrases like : "it would never work", "you're to young" , "focus on university, it's not the time for these kind of things", but it didn't affect her, she still went for it.
Even if her plan didn't work out the way she intended she thought it would still be a great experience and guess what? It turned out better then everyone ever thought it would and it's just the beginning.

She was convinced this would work and it's a trend everyone would be into.
Her idea revolves around designing unique personalized scarfs. This might sound simple, but believe me keeping it up while studying in university at the same time is a real hard task.

She might not have it in mind to keep this as a full time job after university, but she is making this happen to save enough money to be able to do something productive later on and permitting herself to be more independent of her parents.

These days, people who think like that come around a lot less often.

Now there's someone who's choosing her future and not just going with the wind.
