READING 2 Read the text and complete the email in Polish. An art student or a businesswoman? Lilly Mitchell is a successful jewellery maker who has turned her hobby into a business. Interviewer: How did your business start? Lilly: Well, I’ve always been quite creative, so I actually started making my own jewellery while I was still at secondary school. Of course, I didn’t have the money or skills to work with gold or silver back then, so I had to use cheaper materials like beads, pieces of wood or metal. My friends must have liked my accessories because some of them asked me to make something for them, too. That’s how it all began. Interviewer: How do you advertise your products? Lilly: To begin with, it was mostly by word of mouth. You know, friends telling each other about the jewellery and then contacting me to place an order. I used to do everything on my own but now I employ three other people, so it means we can handle more orders. We now rely mostly on our website to help promote the idea of wearing cheap, but interesting, hand-made jewellery. Interviewer: I imagine it can’t have been easy to combine work with your studies? Lilly: After starting my university course, I worried a lot, thinking it’d be difficult to manage both things at the same time. I didn’t have a lot of free time back then, so I didn’t do much in the way of business. But as soon as I got used to my study schedule, I started working on the jewellery again. Interviewer: What advice would you give to young people who want to start their own business? Lilly: Honestly, I don’t think I’m in a position to tell people how they should do that! I’d probably say that, although the idea behind a business is very important, what really counts is having passion for what you do. So, if you’ve got an idea, don’t be afraid to give it a go.
