@missaei: That time my business FAILED as a hotel owner in Lagos 😭 I launched a brunch at @lalaslagos, invited influencers + corporate executives, had a DJ and mimosas... and the food took HOURS. Pancakes and chicken & waffles. I had to send champagne and call everyone to apologise the next day. Lesson for every small business owner / Nigerian entrepreneur starting out: don't be a rose when you're a sunflower. Be the BEST sunflower you can be. 🌻 Embracing who we are is how we became one of the boutique hotels in Lagos people actually love — check our reviews.
