Although she always knew she wanted a business. \u201cFrom a very young age, my mum had already placed that mentality in me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She grew up helping out in her mother\u2019s baking business and was deeply involved in it. At some point, she even thought she would continue with baking, but she wanted something of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, in November 2024, she turned to a skill she had learned in secondary school\u2014crocheting. With the help of YouTube and TikTok tutorials, she began building what is now <a href=\"http:\/\/tiktok.com\/@somi_crochets001\">Somi Crochet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Seeing an Opportunity Others Overlooked<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Around the time she started, <a href=\"https:\/\/thestudententrepreneur.org\/?p=11912\">crochet products<\/a> were becoming more popular. People were wearing them. People were talking about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Chisom noticed something was missing. \u201cThere weren\u2019t many people around me that were visible or accessible,\u201d she explained. So she decided to step into that gap, not just to create, but to be seen and to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Chisom Faced Early Struggles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many student entrepreneurs, her biggest challenge was money. \u201cI didn\u2019t have anything to start with,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get her first materials, she relied on support from her mother, who gave her money to buy yarn. She started small, making scrunchies just to show people what she could do. Chisom recalled that her mum further supported her by buying two scrunchies just to encourage her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Balancing school was another challenge. As a fresher, she had to focus on building a strong academic foundation. At some point, she even reduced how much she worked on her business to avoid distractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Moment Everything Shifted<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/thestudententrepreneur.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/41B4CA8D-41BB-4F7D-A016-55AD8DC83406-COLLAGE-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestudententrepreneur.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/41B4CA8D-41BB-4F7D-A016-55AD8DC83406-COLLAGE-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/thestudententrepreneur.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/41B4CA8D-41BB-4F7D-A016-55AD8DC83406-COLLAGE-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/thestudententrepreneur.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/41B4CA8D-41BB-4F7D-A016-55AD8DC83406-COLLAGE-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/thestudententrepreneur.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/41B4CA8D-41BB-4F7D-A016-55AD8DC83406-COLLAGE-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/thestudententrepreneur.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/41B4CA8D-41BB-4F7D-A016-55AD8DC83406-COLLAGE-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/thestudententrepreneur.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/41B4CA8D-41BB-4F7D-A016-55AD8DC83406-COLLAGE-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/thestudententrepreneur.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/41B4CA8D-41BB-4F7D-A016-55AD8DC83406-COLLAGE-24x24.jpeg 24w, https:\/\/thestudententrepreneur.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/41B4CA8D-41BB-4F7D-A016-55AD8DC83406-COLLAGE-36x36.jpeg 36w, https:\/\/thestudententrepreneur.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/41B4CA8D-41BB-4F7D-A016-55AD8DC83406-COLLAGE-48x48.jpeg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Some Somi Crochet products<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That conversation that changed her mindset was one with her friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While she was selling her crocheted scrunchies for \u20a6800 to \u20a61,000, her friend was confidently charging \u20a62,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a wake-up call. She realized she needed to improve her work, build her confidence, and raise her standards. From that point, her business became more intentional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chisom is Growing With What She Has<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Chisom promotes her business through Instagram and TikTok, sharing both her products and content to reach more people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also relies on her community: friends, family, and coursemates, who help by reposting and referring customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To manage school and business, she has learned to set boundaries. \u201cI don\u2019t take orders during exam periods,\u201d she said. \u201cSo I can focus and prepare well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lessons From Chisom\u2019s Journey<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chisom\u2019s journey has not been perfect. There have been slow periods: months without any orders.\u00a0Instead of quitting, she sees those moments as a push to do better. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t mean I should stop,\u201d she said. \u201cIt pushes me to improve.\u201d Her biggest lesson is that growth takes time, faith, and consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For students who want to start but feel unsure, Chisom keeps it simple: Just Start. \u201cTake it one step at a time,\u201d she advised. \u201cConnect with people ahead of you and keep improving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her story is a reminder that you don\u2019t always need a perfect plan to begin. Sometimes, all you need is a small skill, a little support, and the courage to start where you are.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow
