At first, she just hoped to sell ten a week. But her idea exploded.In just one year, Iyia sold over $3.5 million worth of waist trainers. All of this from her bedroom! She even paid celebrity, Kylie Jenner, to wear one in a photo. That one picture cost her $300,000…and it worked!Since then, Iyia has started more businesses, hired staff, sold to people in over 90 countries, and even bought her dream car, a Mercedes G-Wagon.But what makes her story so powerful isn’t just the money, it's the mindset.
