Shahnaz Husain Contd...

She said, "I removed the banner and since then I have never advertised. I have let my products speak for themselves."19 By 2000, Shahnaz Husain had over 650 salons in 104 countries around the world. Using the franchising mode to expand in India and abroad, she built up a large network of over 600 franchisee and associate clinics around the world. All the franchisees were required to undergo training in specialized treatments at Shahnaz Husain's school of beauty therapy. After training, all franchisees obtained the right to use the Shahnaz Husain name and specialized treatments and were given a 30% profit margin on the sale of products.

Shahnaz Husain believed that an entrepreneur must have a dream and the commitment to pursue it. She believed that business was not simply about employing the right management principles. She said, "I have often gone beyond pure business dealings as such, because for me dua (blessings) is important."20 Shahnaz Husain believed that a true entrepreneur is a person who has independence of spirit: "One should be innovative, dynamic and willing to try every avenue towards success."21 She did not look on her work as a career. It was more like an obsession and the sole purpose of her existence. All her dreams revolved around her work and she applied herself to it with complete commitment. According to Shahnaz Husain, a desire to excel, hard work and relentless determination also go into making an entrepreneur.

She said, to succeed, one must never give up and never stop trying: "I always feel I have another mountain to climb and another frontier to cross. I never rest on my laurels."22 She puts in 18 hours of work and channelizes all her energy into her company. Her commitment and self confidence have made her company one of the most successful of its kind in the world.
