Claire Tan started her first business at 17 – not because she had a plan, but because she refused to work in a system where someone else decided how far she could go.
In this episode, Claire walks us through how she built Ladyy Claire Makeup into one of Singapore’s first makeup-only bridal companies, pivoted into luxury real estate during COVID, and quietly became one of the most respected agents working with high-net-worth clients – all while being a self-described introvert who hides behind the curtains at parties.
We get into: why she broke her scholarship bond and never looked back, how she practiced three hairstyles a day and cried through all of it, how she lied about her age to land early clients (then revealed the truth after the job), what it actually takes to sell $3-5M properties as a 21-year-old, and the one belief she’s still working on unlearning – that her self-worth equals her output.
