omolaraeni (00:00.633) Yeah.
Victory (00:02.51) Awesome. All right, everyone. Today I have with me on the podcast, the incredible Omelara of RME Stitches. Okay, we've been trying to have this conversation because when I went to Nigeria, I met Lara Impress and I was like, she's so amazing and she's built this business for herself and she's, yeah, so she's doing so well. So I was like, I have to, you know, bring your story on the podcast because,
omolaraeni (00:10.409) Yeah!
omolaraeni (00:21.865) Awwww, I'm blushing.
Victory (00:31.534) at Lara, if you didn't know the listeners of this podcast, they are also people like you and I, people who are starting something fashion, who, you know, they are still at the beginning stage of their process. So I really just wanted to share your story with them so that they understand that this kind of thing is possible. And so they can hear how you got started and you know, things of that nature.
omolaraeni (00:42.901) Thank you.
omolaraeni (00:50.613) Okay, that's fine, problem. There we go.
Victory (00:53.546) Alrighty, so my first question for you, because I always like to go back to the beginning. How did you get started in fashion? Like, was this something you've always loved as a child? Did you just wake up one morning and you're like, I'm going to do fashion? How did that start for you?
omolaraeni (01:09.435) No, okay, so I think after school I studied business accounting in Federal College of Education, right? So when I was a child, I actually wanted to become an accountant like I wanted to work in a bank. Yeah, so that was honestly that was the that was the dream. That was what I really wanted to say. But long gone I realized I wanted more for myself.
Victory (01:19.244) Mm -hmm.
Victory (01:27.438) Stop lying!
Victory (01:32.426) Wow.
Is that?
omolaraeni (01:39.209) So I thought of, oh, these things are no work. Let me just look for another thing to do. So initially I was scared. In fact, I didn't believe I was going to learn fashion. Like my parents did not believe it. Especially my mom, when I told her I wanted to learn the fashion thing, they were surprised. They were really, really, really, really surprised that why? What happened? I just wanted, let me just go ahead with it. Then I tried, then I started. I was 27.
Victory (01:45.292) Mm -hmm.
Victory (02:02.22) Mm -hmm.
omolaraeni (02:09.097) Yeah 2017 yeah, I think 20 no, I think 2016 slash 2017 that was after school then I started but The first place I went to learn that my boss say hmm. That's the understudy entirely anyways, so it was not
Victory (02:29.838) I want to hear what you wait, but let's pause before you get there. I don't know if you know, but I'm also an accountant too. That's what I actually do. Like that's my day job. And it's crazy because yeah, because me too, I was like, I can't do this forever. I mean, the knowledge is good because you learn how to run a business. I learn how to manage your money. But I resonate with you when you say, you know, you were like, I can't really, you know, do this long -term.
omolaraeni (02:41.257) for this video.
omolaraeni (02:49.447) Yay!
omolaraeni (02:57.481) then I can't, I can't, I can't so I guess that's the three things, yeah, yeah
Victory (03:01.038) So 2016, 2017, you went to your first apprenticeship place. Tell us about it because I was also an apprentice and I have plenty stories. So don't be shy. Just summarize it for us. How did it go? Did they treat you well?
omolaraeni (03:13.225) Should I say the roadside tailor? I really didn't know. But let me just say the roadside tailor. Not a proper fashion school. So my boss used to be my tailor back then. She sewed for me there. So I told her that I wanted to learn. Blah blah blah. And I have just little time. That was six months I think. Is it possible for me to learn?
Victory (03:25.998) Mm -hmm.
Victory (03:40.238) Mm -hmm.
omolaraeni (03:42.697) within the short period like six months. She said, yes, why not? Okay, there we go, started, I paid. Then this auntie did not teach me. For like three months, she didn't teach me. The only thing I do is use the manual machine, not the industrial. I use that machine a lot. Then I said, auntie, this is three months from when will I start? When we start teaching manual, she said, don't worry, we tell her, I will, okay.
Victory (03:59.534) Mm -hmm.
omolaraeni (04:12.297) day by day same thing I said ah I can't continue like this my six months will end very soon what is the plan and all of that she said okay that tomorrow she will teach me let's say she will teach me buster tomorrow tomorrow this auntie will not teach me she will cost that buster in her house and bring it to the shop I said okay maybe because I was closing early let me just change my closing return bag tender maybe okay I was closing by two let me change it to four
Victory (04:17.718) Yeah.
Victory (04:30.22) Wow.
omolaraeni (04:41.541) It's still the same. It's when I'm going home that this auntie will just cut the dress for any outfit she took. So I thought, okay, I think we'll be closing. I just said, she was what?
Victory (04:47.776) Eric
He thinks she was.
Do you think she was doing it on purpose? Like what do you think was her rationale for that?
omolaraeni (04:59.451) yeah okay so i thought maybe because i was closing early let me close like let everyone close together because i'll be able to see please after the closing hour she's still doing the same thing i'd say okay i didn't even see anything that was when i realized that she was doing it intentionally because why would it take let's say for this week we have about 10 to 15 hours free time
Victory (05:08.814) Mm -hmm.
Victory (05:21.614) Why?
omolaraeni (05:28.361) to to court she would carry everything to our house and court seats so she wouldn't drink the the was called the Pro the fabric for me to put on lining while I joined the lining for our estate the fabric and all of that like that was basically what I was doing for her then I don't so I realize that I can't continue like this with this so much I just read on this before that my education that I can't that I just have to go
Victory (05:30.254) Mm.
Victory (05:39.662) Mm -hmm.
omolaraeni (05:58.345) That was after six months. Yeah.
Victory (05:59.214) So after six months, for context, after six months, you hadn't learned, you hadn't learned enough because she wasn't being intentional about teaching you, even though you paid her to teach you the actual thing that she knew. Interesting, okay.
omolaraeni (06:02.953) After six months, I went to another fashion school. I didn't learn anything. Yeah. Exactly. Yes. Yes. Yeah. So after six months, I went to another fashion school. I think this, they call it, we have free hand, course and pattern. So over there, we do proper pattern drafting.
Victory (06:32.718) Mm -hmm.
omolaraeni (06:33.307) Agreement was six months or so. I thought okay. I think at the beginning I was enjoying the pattern but at some point I don't know I can't use this pattern for myself The pattern wasn't working for me, but actually it tracks for my boss. It's work for my boss the pattern Jackson So I just talked to that I can't consume that free and I really like so that was the second fashion show that I went to So then I went to another thought what?
Victory (06:47.214) Mm -hmm.
Victory (06:57.966) Okay, and before you move on, sorry, Lara, before you move on, why did you prefer freehand cutting to pattern cutting? Can you like explain that a little bit more?
omolaraeni (07:08.307) I think for me it's just easy and it saves time for me maybe because when I learnt first with that auntie that my first boss that the one that she didn't teach me she was using freehand freehand there was nothing like parts and paper no pens to save so I think so I already had the idea that it's only freehand
Victory (07:31.51) interest.
omolaraeni (07:35.209) You do have to cut some people before you can achieve anything you want to achieve. So I already have that at the back of my mind So I think that was what really affected me this second fashion designing So I just left and went to the okay another fashion school So free and also so I think that was when I started to So just I think I just that was when I just realized that okay I think i'm good with this last person then I started yeah the free and thing yeah
Victory (07:35.79) Okay.
Victory (07:51.51) Mm -hmm.
Victory (08:04.75) Okay, interesting. So by this point, you're on fashion school number three, and you're sort of going from you're sort of going from one fashion school to the another. But what I really like is that you're like, you're looking for what works for you, particularly what you enjoy, and what will help you create the most quality work.
omolaraeni (08:08.933) Yeah.
omolaraeni (08:12.915) So I don't die, yeah.
omolaraeni (08:18.357) Exactly, yeah. Yeah.
Victory (08:24.75) Okay, so fashion school number three, what was that experience like?
omolaraeni (08:28.845) Great nice cool. She just made everything easier. So I think that was it. Yeah, that was it. I really learned a lot in the third fashion school. Yeah
Victory (08:34.934) Okay.
Victory (08:41.358) Amazing. And how long were you there?
omolaraeni (08:44.047) Three months. Yeah, three months.
Victory (08:48.878) Archer, okay, so did you, because I also did like training, right? I did apprenticeship as well. But I told you this, I didn't do freedom. So did you do freedom from the third fashion school?
omolaraeni (08:59.209) I didn't do freedom. They taught fashion school. My set, we have, I did tell you that we have pride. No, they have this pride. So we didn't do our projects, basically. So without the projects, you can't do, we don't do freedom. I think we do, what do they call it? Just graduation, right? So without your projects, you can't have your certificates. That was what happened. Like we can't have that certificate.
Victory (09:02.894) you
Victory (09:20.494) Okay.
omolaraeni (09:28.681) So we didn't do, we didn't present any, any, any, any, any project. So there's no way we're going to collect our certificates now. Just have to let it go. Yeah. So that was it. Yeah.
Victory (09:35.534) Mm -hmm.
Isn't it?
Victory (09:43.406) I see. Okay. So at what point between all of this learning, at what point did you now start to set up your own shop and start like practicing all the things that you were learning?
omolaraeni (09:55.407) I started 2017. I started 2017 yeah. Even with the way the my first boss didn't teach me I had this senior thing that she was actually she was younger than me yeah younger yeah yeah so then I told her that I really would because I can't wait like I just can't wait to just start this my brand so I just told her that she will be sewing she'll be helping me and she was good with it so that was how I started.
Victory (10:06.734) Mm -hmm.
Victory (10:19.406) Mm -hmm.
Victory (10:26.19) So she was doing the sewing and you were kind of.
omolaraeni (10:28.047) yes she was doing the sewing, i was doing the cutting, it's not so i was not perfect then but at least both of us were just doing the cutting and sewing because i can actually sew but my cutting wasn't strong, it wasn't 80 % strong i think it was just 20 so the mini 18 she was the one helping out
Victory (10:39.662) Mm -hmm.
Victory (10:50.03) That's good. That's good. Okay. So between 2017 and now, how have you grown your business? What other trainings have you done? And kind of how did you get yourself from that 20 % where you said you were in the beginning to where you are now?
omolaraeni (11:04.149) I was just consistent with my learning. I was just consistent and I just I kept trying even though I'm still learning like now. Fashion is so wide that you can't even learn everything in a specific place. You can't learn everything at once. You just have to keep learning and you just have to keep following the trend.
Especially when you know that you don't know this particular thing. You know there was a time that corsets wasn't in trend, like it was not trending. Yeah, so as at that time, we did not even know anything about corsets. So I asked to go to another fashion school for three days just to learn corsets. Yes.
Victory (11:35.734) Exactly.
Victory (11:47.47) concept making, I see. That's amazing. And I think that's something that I agree with is, you know, to constantly learn and constantly find out, okay, what styles do people want to sew and, you know, learn how you can make those patterns and how you can create those styles for them. So when you started, how many tailors did you have?
omolaraeni (12:01.941) Exactly. Yeah.
omolaraeni (12:11.043) okay so when um that um should i call her my sister which is that i remade back in 2017 she stopped at some point then as of 2019 so 2017 i did not have a space of my own i was working from home that was around 2017 then 2019 i had my own no okay i was still training so 2020
Victory (12:23.116) Mm -hmm.
omolaraeni (12:37.449) I think I had my space then, 2019 through 20, I had my space already actually. So that was when I started with Celo. So I started with 1 Celo. Yeah, 1 Celo. Then, yeah. Yeah.
Victory (12:51.47) Amazing. Okay, so you started with one tailor. I want to ask you this. And when I visited and I came to your studio in Surulere, I saw that you had more people. From having that one tailor to having more tailors, Lara, what do you look for when you're hiring a tailor? Are you looking for like skills? Are you looking for somebody that's willing to learn? Like when you're meeting people, let's say you're interviewing somebody that's a tailor that's looking for work. What are you looking for specifically before you decide, okay, this is somebody that can work?
omolaraeni (13:02.405) Yeah.
omolaraeni (13:22.441) I just, if you are willing to work, if you are just willing to work, even if you are not perfect. So far I have the idea, I think we can both work together.
you know there are some sellers that they are not ready to work they are not ready to learn they just if they don't even want to teach them anything they believe so much in their own knowledge especially when they are not sewing what is in vogue at the moment so i just believe in Rican if you are ready to work and you are ready to learn i think we are good yeah
Victory (13:35.982) Okay.
Victory (13:40.236) Amen.
Victory (13:54.542) Amazing. Because I know that, you know, some tailors have a reputation, like you said, for not being willing to, like, do the work. So I was curious as to, you know, how you pick your people and what signs you are looking for in them. And have you had to fire any tailors? Just tell us.
omolaraeni (14:02.777) Yeah.
omolaraeni (14:08.955) Yeah.
yes i have yes i think that was last year i am yeah i am and that was that was my first trailer ah great i mean great in fact i did i did not regret i did not regret my actions i did not regret till now till date
Victory (14:16.046) Yeah.
The world was not like...
Victory (14:32.846) good, good, because a lot of people, they're hesitant to like, you know, fire us or sack or let go of people that are not contributing well to the business or, you know, they are dead weights, they are slowing you down.
omolaraeni (14:33.625) Yeah.
omolaraeni (14:43.049) uh because because they are they are scared they are scared imagine me having just one silo and i start that video without having any okay i think it was easier for me because i had extra silo working like an outside silo not my permanent stuff so even though even even though i did i was not scared anyways i just needed to do it i just needed it and i didn't regret yeah
Victory (15:09.132) Thank you.
That's good. That's good. And so you said you started your, you had your space in 2019 and 2020. Um, so you know me, I'm an accountant. So we're going to talk about the money. How did you fund business in the beginning when you were just starting out? Did you have another job that was giving you money to fund the business or what?
omolaraeni (15:18.049) Yay! Yeah.
omolaraeni (15:27.097) Okay, so the... No, I did not have another job. So I got 29 and I got married. My husband helped me get my first piece of your sleep. So that was how I started. Yeah. He did the furnishing, the rent, like everything, everything. Yeah. So that was when I started. Yeah. So it was this half for me.
Victory (15:38.262) Mm -hmm.
Victory (15:56.27) Okay, so sorry, your the audio quality was uh, it was going in and out. Could you say that part again?
omolaraeni (16:03.241) Okay, so my husband go my first space.
Victory (16:07.948) Mm -hmm.
omolaraeni (16:08.457) cause it was after I got married I rented my space so he helps me out to furnish everything so all I did was just to get to loading I just started yeah I know right
Victory (16:19.616) Amazing. Shout out to the husbands, okay? Shout out to the husbands. That's amazing. That's really good. Cause I always like to ask people, you know, how they, how they get the funding, you know, to run their business and all of that. So now with R &E Stitches, you, you sew clothes for different people. What is your, what is your vision for R &E like in the next three to five years?
omolaraeni (16:33.723) Yeah.
omolaraeni (16:43.579) Yeah.
omolaraeni (16:48.335) I just I just want to I just want to be in this line of business like in a better space I uh I should never like what's the word I uh I uh space and not now I just want to be I just want to grow I just want to grow then yeah a better version of Arrhenin and not this yeah I'm still grateful for this but I won't move yeah so this Arrhenin will be better bigger and better
Victory (17:17.838) Amazing. Amen. And it will. And it will. So another question I want to ask you is what strategy do you have for reaching an international market? Because person that introduced me to you, you know, we both live in the States and she was the one who made that connection. So how did you start reaching out to international clients, clients outside of Nigeria to get them to order from you? What was that process like?
omolaraeni (17:22.043) Amen. Yeah, amen.
omolaraeni (17:47.055) Honestly just have to be consistent like I said like keep posting people are watching So it's not and it's not by followers. It's not by 1 million followers 220 followers is nobody that is by the audience I have and people are Watching and most of your clients might not even follow or even like your posts So just keep posting just keep posting just keep just keep up posting good work. Yeah and quality videos
And be honest, I think that was what worked for me. Because the person that reached out to me, if only they do something now for me anyway. Yeah.
Victory (18:22.158) be honest.
omolaraeni (18:27.687) second blessing. Be honest with your job now. Be honest with what you are doing. Don't be corny with people. Things you know that you can't do. Don't say you can't do it. Swear you know that you can't do it.
Victory (18:27.79) What do you mean by be honest? Can you express it in that?
Victory (18:35.886) Mm -hmm.
Victory (18:45.496) Amen. Preach. I love that. Because one thing, because I'm also a tailor, right? When I was in university, when I was in college here, I used to sew for my friends like on the weekends. That was my, that was my, you know, my side hustle. That's how I, you know, got some money for myself. And sometimes people come to me with styles and they ask me to sew for them. And I just have to be honest and tell them, listen, I can't do this style. But let me refer you to somebody that may be able to do it. So I think it's important.
omolaraeni (18:46.505) Yeah, I admit.
Victory (19:15.15) Because some people are afraid that if I tell them I can't do this, they'll look down on me or they'll think I don't know what I'm doing. But honestly...
omolaraeni (19:16.379) Yay, cheese.
omolaraeni (19:20.955) it won't see it won't see now which we it was in itself if my client should send me any outfit or any design that i knew that i can't do i'll tell them i we can't do this not even i can't we can't do this so it's not about me it's about me and my brand not just me yeah it's reconnecting
Victory (19:35.406) Oh, can you hear me, Lara? Your audio is... Sorry, your audio was like shaking that part. What did you say?
omolaraeni (19:45.033) So you just, even my clients in now, if they should send me any design that I know that I can't do, I will tell them we can't do it. Not me, because it's not just about me, it's about me and my brand. And the name, all right, not just about me. So I have to let them know that we can't do this, we can't. So either you send me another design or you go to another place to save.
Victory (20:00.366) Mm -hmm.
Victory (20:13.518) Makes sense. Makes sense. So, um, with your international client, your international markets, a lot of my listeners are really curious about how you navigate, you know, shipping outside of Nigeria. I know you shipped some stuff for me, but I wanted you to, you know, really talk about it on the podcast. How do you navigate shipping? How do you navigate the cost of shipping and all of that?
omolaraeni (20:36.679) Yeah, I use DHL. I use DHL mostly. DHL. And sometimes I think Fedex because of the fee at the moment DHL is now expensive. So we and they are fast. But Fedex is affordable and the what's it called? The time frame is a bit longer. So we can wait. We can have pressure. You can go with Fedex or DHL. But most of the time I use DHL for my clients. DHL. Yeah.
Victory (20:50.348) Mm -hmm.
Victory (21:08.27) Amazing. Thank you for sharing that. And I was going to ask you because we all know the state of exchange rates with the Naira and all of that. Lara, how are you in your business? How are you navigating that? How are you staying alive in the currency exchange rates?
omolaraeni (21:23.375) we we we just have to because this is not the first time this would happen we just have to work around this that is the only truth and we can't keep um increasing price because of the increasing everything because at the long run it might what was it called it might reduce so we just have to work around this to be honest we just have to work around it
Victory (21:47.31) Yeah, I agree and it's a really crazy situation really with the Naira. So I'm just, I'm hoping that things get better because I know that it has to be a struggle.
omolaraeni (21:55.111) Yeah, yeah
Victory (22:02.67) So tell me this Lara, if you can think about like a situation in your business that was a difficult situation. I know you've told us about the person that you had to fire, but is there another difficult situation that you faced in your business and how did you overcome it?
omolaraeni (22:17.873) Difficult situation. Maybe not making sense. Yeah.
Victory (22:23.948) And what did you do, you know, to go from not making sales to making sales?
omolaraeni (22:27.977) So you have to pray, pray, post contents, advice, and that's it. Yeah. You just have to pray. Pray and work hard. Yeah. Pray and work hard.
Victory (22:38.094) Amazing. And when you say, okay. So you also mentioned, you know, running advertisements, because another thing that I'm having to learn personally in business is that like, you have to go and reach out to people so that they know that you exist. So I'm glad that you brought that up, because you have to advertise yourself in some sense as well. So people know that you are alive. Awesome. Awesome. Okay, my next question for you is,
omolaraeni (22:57.865) There you have it.
Victory (23:05.802) Lara, is there something that you wish you had known around that 2016 -2017 time that you wish you had known in the beginning, starting out that you know you want to share with the listeners?
omolaraeni (23:15.013) yeah yeah i i used to think fashion is just about cutting and sewing like if you can cut and sew that's it but fashion is more than that it's more than just cutting and sewing yeah fashion is more than that
Victory (23:34.03) So what are the other things in fashion that people should know? Apart from cotton and sewing, what else is there?
omolaraeni (23:41.225) Business management, how to manage your business. How to manage your business, how to employ staff, you know. So many things about fashion design that is more than just sewing.
Victory (23:44.716) Mm -hmm.
Victory (23:52.044) Yeah.
Victory (23:56.974) I'm so glad that you brought that up because really the, the, some of the conversations that we have on this podcast is me sharing, right? From my perspective as an accountant, like I share resources of how to budget for your business, how to plan financially for your business and all of that. So I'm glad you brought it up because it's really important for people to know that it's not just cutting out. So you also have to manage the business.
omolaraeni (24:04.297) Hey. Hey.
Victory (24:24.16) All righty, so this other question now is, you're probably going to tell me you pray, but I'll still ask anyway, how do you maintain your mental health as an entrepreneur? Like we live in an Instagram world, right? So you might see that somebody else has a hundred million followers and you have maybe like 12 ,000. How do you take care of your mental health to avoid things like comparing yourself or feeling bad and all of that?
omolaraeni (24:49.637) I don't compare myself and I don't feel bad I just have to work on myself because we are different and we have different business entirely and like I said it's not by followers to be honest it's not by that you can have one million followers and you're not making sales why I have 100 followers and I'm making sales so it's not by followers it's not by it's not even by likes it's not even it's not by the Instagram engagements it's just by what you do
Victory (25:09.26) Mm -hmm.
omolaraeni (25:19.709) and pray for grace. Die gracefully, my sister. That's it. That's all you need. That's all you need. Yeah.
Victory (25:26.798) Yeah, I like that. I'm going to keep that in my left hand. It's not my followers. I like that.
omolaraeni (25:31.273) He's not my follower.
Victory (25:39.534) That's good. That's good. Okay. So now we're going to shift into what I call the lightning round. So these are just like fun questions. Just, you know, tell me whatever the first thing it is that jumps to your mind and we can go from there. Are you ready?
omolaraeni (25:46.057) Okay. Okay, ready.
Victory (25:56.504) Okay. So what is a resource that has helped in your business that you can share with the listeners? It can be a book, a class that you took, you know, a seminar, something that you learned somewhere, but what's the best business resource so far?
omolaraeni (26:10.281) I think this class, yeah. Class and 101, 101, different classes entirely, like different classes. Online, physical, then 101 chat with my friends. Yeah.
Victory (26:16.46) Which class?
Victory (26:22.988) Mm -hmm.
Victory (26:31.182) Awesome, awesome. So you're emphasizing that the biggest lesson or the biggest resource for you is learning. So, you know, whether it's online or...
omolaraeni (26:37.905) Yes Lenny, yeah and be ready to pay for it because it's not cheap it doesn't come cheap and it's not free so be ready to pay yeah be ready to pay for it.
Victory (26:42.734) Awesome. Okay.
Victory (26:48.012) Mm -hmm.
Victory (26:52.626) Agreed, agreed. And also for the listeners, when you're looking to learn from someone, do your research, make sure that they are somebody that is reputable. So you don't just pay somebody and they don't teach you anything, right? We can learn that from Lara's story. So make sure it's somebody that will actually teach you something that you can go away with value.
omolaraeni (27:04.945) Yeah.
omolaraeni (27:12.231) Yeah.
Victory (27:15.946) Alrighty, next question. What is a personal habit or a trait that you think has helped you in business? So is there something that you do, Lara, that you think helps you in business to stand out or to do or to do well?
omolaraeni (27:31.977) I just maintained my weight. I just did the way I feel I should. Yeah.
Victory (27:39.566) Nice. And I noticed the.
omolaraeni (27:39.817) I just like that it's a free year.
Victory (27:44.078) Sorry, say that again.
omolaraeni (27:44.295) you know this is what i said i just allow its flow like i just i just do it i don't do i don't compare yes i just i just do my thing yeah i just do my thing my way
Victory (27:50.926) Mm -hmm. Yeah.
Victory (27:56.014) Exactly. That's what I was going to say is that I noticed that you're consistent and you don't compare yourself. You just do your thing and you deliver quality.
omolaraeni (28:05.523) I just did it. Yeah.
Victory (28:11.022) So this is the last question that we have on this interview. For the people that are listening, if you could tell them, what's your parting advice for them, people who are starting out or somebody who is already building their fashion brand and they're looking for advice, what would you tell them for somebody who wants to build a profitable business? Or maybe they are afraid or they are scared or they don't know what to do.
omolaraeni (28:36.009) Okay first, just start, be consistent, be prayerful, don't compare yourself and be ready to learn. Be ready, like be fully, fully ready to learn. Don't compare yourself with your friends, your family or Instagram people. Don't get carried away and be prayerful. Yeah, so that's it basically.
