We were lucky to catch up with Jessica Jaimes recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Jessica , so happy to have you on the platform and I think our readers are in for a treat because you’ve got such an interesting story and so much insight and wisdom. So, let’s start with a topic that is relevant to everyone, regardless of industry etc. What do you do for self-care and how has it impacted you?
Truly just by scheduling time out of my days to focus on me. I’m a big planner so I like to have my week laid out so I can visualize my schedule for the week. I then plan accordingly with my self-care time whether that’s getting my nails done/ lashes/ going for a drive and indulging on some sweets. Life can get so busy at times, just have to remember to prioritize & take care of yourself.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
HTXcraftss has been running for about 2 years now. What was a hobby then is now my job and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Being a Houston native- growing up in the sports environment- it was just meant to be for me to surround my theme as a sporty/ chic/ fun boutique! It’s gender neutral so I sell things for everyone to enjoy. My items include graphic tees, custom stickers, acrylic goods (cake toppers/ keychains/ cup toppers, etc) business bundles that include business cards/ stickers/ flyers.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Stay consistent, be open to trying new things, & be okay with constructive criticism. People along the way are going to try to tell you what you should/shouldn’t put out but you just have to be true to your brand and go with your gut.
To close, maybe we can chat about your parents and what they did that was particularly impactful for you?
They showed me that no matter what obstacles are thrown at you, to always stay positive and keep pushing forward. Having a bad day? It ends at the 24 hour mark, wipe your tears & reset yourself.
