IMG Model Somali Immigrant Halima Aden on Money, Work Ethic

IMG Model Somali Immigrant Halima Aden on Money, Work Ethic In the age of Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, being born into wealth feels like a prerequisite to working in the fashion industry. But that’s not true for the world’s first hijab-wearing international runway model, 20-year-old Halima Aden, who grew up in a Kenyan refugee camp and arrived in the U.S. with no money to her name. The Somali model hustled her entire life to get to where she is now â€" and it’s paying off. At age 10, she braided hair to fund her school trips. At 16, she picked up two jobs, working before and after school. And at just 19, she made national headlines as the first Miss Minnesota USA contestant to wear a hijab and burkini. In a conversation with MONEY, Aden discussed her admirable work ethic, revealed some unexpected attitudes towards money (she loves paying her taxes!), and shared advice on how to hustle while being true to yourself. Aden started her first business when she was only 10. After escaping the Somali Civil War, Aden’s family relocated to Kakuma, a Kenyan refugee camp. During her early childhood in the camp, she remembers hating getting her hair braided by other refugee women because it hurt â€" to the point where she asked them to teach her how to do it herself. The braid-induced pain paid off big time. When she and her family moved to Minnesota, Aden used the skills she picked up in the refugee camp to make her own little business. She charged $10 to braid kids’ hair and $20 for adults, using the money to fund school trips and pay for Eid clothes (which can sometimes be pricey). “It wasn’t a bad gig for a 10-year-old,” she says now. Aden says her mom inspired her hustle. As a child, Aden watched her mom perform numerous duties in her refugee camp, from selling incense to running a tomato stand. According to Aden, Somali culture encourages children to pick up the work that adults can’t get to. “A lot of cultures are like that, where you’re encouraged to take after your family, especially those who need it,” says Aden. “It’s just kind of expected.” She worked two jobs while still in high school. Like many young people, Aden couldn’t wait to turn 16. But unlike other teenagers, it wasn’t so she could throw herself a sweet 16 party â€" it was because she could finally legally work in the state of Minnesota. The teenager took on two jobs at St. Cloud Hospital, working with environmental services and doing housekeeping for patients. She says she worked one shift from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m., headed to high school at 8:30 a.m., then followed that up with another work shift from 3 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. And yet, she somehow also made time for extracurricular activities: mock-trial, oratory club, and she was even voted homecoming queen in her senior year, according to Teen Vogue. But this hectic schedule came with plenty of sacrifices. “Recently my friend was like, ‘I remember those days you’d come in [to school] with red eyes because you didn’t sleep,’” Aden says. Her work ethic, in part, comes from a sense of patriotism and gratitude. Coming from both a war-torn country and an impoverished refugee camp, Aden says she appreciated how the United States gives teenagers as young as 16 the opportunity to “clock in and clock out,” become financially independent, and help support their families. “Yes, I never went to any of the dances, I missed a lot of the other activities because I was working so much, but I also wouldn’t change it for anything,” she says. Now, she’s an advocate and ambassador (and loves paying taxes!). Despite the heavy workweek, Aden often only broke even during her high school days. The young model sent much of the money she earned to her extended family in Somalia, helped her mom pay for their house, and saved up to buy a car. Aden hasn’t stopped giving since becoming a model. The trailblazer acts as a UNICEF Ambassador, traveling with the organization back to her Kakuma refugee camp and advocating for underprivileged children around the world. She also recently joined Gigi Hadid to promote UNICEF on the cover of CR Fashion Book. Today, Aden has a different relationship with money. She loves paying her taxes and proudly told the story of marching to the tax office and asking the accountant to take her money: “I’ve saved, I’m prepared, take it,” she says now. Aden says she relied on government aid when she first immigrated to the U.S., and is now happy to contribute her tax dollars to social programs that help others in need. Now, she keeps a careful eye on her own future by investing in her career, saving for herself, and purchasing high-quality luxury goods sparingly. One favorite splurge? Sushi, which she loves so much she’ll buy it even if it’s from an airport or gas station. She’s a smart negotiator â€" and dreams of opening her own hijab line. IMG Models, the nation’s top agency which represents the Hadid sisters, Hailey Baldwin and Cara Delevingne, contacted Aden a few weeks after her Miss Minnesota USA pageant appearance. But she didn’t just say “yes” to the first contract the company threw her way. Instead, before signing, she sat down with the agency for four hours to discuss her wardrobe requirements and her place as a Somali Muslim woman in the modeling industry, which has repeatedly been called out for being too monolithic. Her one goal was to remain true to her identity â€" and herself. “You have to ask for what you want,” says Aden. “Had I never spoken up, I don’t know if my career would be going the way it’s going.” Although only 20 years old, Aden doesn’t shy away from being a role model to young girls who look like her or share her background. Aden says she wants to run a business one day where customers know her story, and other people can see themselves in her products. “How did it all start?” Aden says, tracing her path back to her beginnings. “It started off by me wearing a hijab. So how beautiful would it be if I had my own scarf line?”

Do Your Research BEFORE You Start A Business - Work It Daily

Do Your Research BEFORE You Start A Business - Work It Daily 8 Ways To Vet A Franchise If you want to start a business, you may have a few stars in your eyes â€" think Steve Jobs in a garage or Ray Kroc planning an unheard of chain of hamburger joints, but Apple and McDonald’s are more the exception than the rule. Related: Ready For A Franchise? Maximize Your Success By Making The Right Choice! Blink away the stars and get down to work. There is a great deal you can do to improve your odds of success. At the top of that list is research. Know as much as you can before you sign any contracts or put any money on the line. An advantage of a franchise is you get access to a wealth of information, including training and ongoing support, to help you decide whether you can succeed with a particular business. The franchisor’s system, however, can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it shows you all you need to do to achieve profitability, but if you’re not willing to follow the franchisor’s system and you would prefer to do tweak things because “you know better,” a franchise is probably not for you. We like the franchise model because it allows you to minimize your risk while still reaping many of the rewards of owning your own business: you can take control of your career and increase your income. But not all franchises are worth your investment. The trick is to figure out which ones are. The good news is the Federal Trade Commission requires franchisors to disclose a great deal of helpful information in a franchise disclosure document (FDD). A good franchise coach can help you peruse this document, but the FTC requires it be written in standard English â€" no legalese â€" so you certainly can begin the process yourself. 8 Ways To Vet A Franchise 1. Check out the franchisor’s background. How long has the franchisor been in business? What is the background of the company executives? How long have they been with the company? Answers can be found in Items 1 and 2 of the FDD. 2. Learn if the franchisor has a history of litigation. If the franchise has faced a history of lawsuits with its franchisees, you need to read no further. Ideally, a franchisor should work with the potential franchisees well ahead of time, so both parties know what will be necessary to hold up their sides of the contract. Item 3 in the FDD. 3. Know your costs. You will find the initial franchise fee, which typically ranges from $35,000 to $50,000. You will also find all of the costs to set up the business, from the lease, to outfitting a store, initial inventory, as well as marketing and advertising. You will also find royalty fees, usually a percentage of sales. Most of the franchises we work with have a total investment ranging from $50,000 to $150,000. FDD items 5-7. 4. Can you live with the franchisor’s system? If you buy a franchise it will be because you have learned that their franchisees are successful. You will know that their method of doing things works. If you join the company you will want to implement the system the franchisor has already proven. Will you be able to follow their system? Do not invest in the franchise if you won’t.. Items 2 and 8 in the FDD. 5. Rate their training. Item 11 of the FDD will describe the franchisor’s training program, from the topics covered during the training, how many hours it requires, the cost and who is covered by the training. You can find out a lot more about the training program by interviewing franchisees. 6. Know the costs and expertise of their advertising and marketing support. Every new business requires a marketing program. Make sure you know what the franchisor will provide and what it will cost you. FDD items 6 and 11. 7. Interview current and former franchisees. Probably your most important step in the process is reading through FDD item 20 to see the list of franchisees, which includes former franchisees, and their contact information. Plan to interview as many as possible to check into the franchise. Hear the unvarnished details from those who came before you. The most important question is whether the franchisee would make the purchase again knowing what they know now. Why or why not? 8. Assess the franchisor’s financial history. You will find the franchisor’s financial statements in tem 21 of the FDD. You don’t want to invest in a franchise that is tottering on the edge of financial viability. For more information, check out the FTC’s website, which has published a consumer guide to buying a franchise. Ready to make your dream of becoming an entrepreneur come true?
