SERIOUS FUN: Pyjama desingers and business owners Taylah Golden and Ellie Jordan, both 13, showing off some of their Jordan Taylor range.

TAYLAH Golden is the owner of a new business.

She is an articulate, intelligent, creative, hard-working and confident multi-tasker who is switched on to what the market wants.

She is also 13 years old.

The Dicky Beach teenager established Jordan Taylah, with schoolmate Ellie Jordan, last June, selling homemade pyjamas to friends and family.

It has since grown to include regular stalls at school fairs and markets, a website, involvement in the Sunshine Coast fashion festival later this month and a deal with its first retail outlet, the South Peregian Trading Co.

The pair designs and hand-makes pyjamas of all sizes for children and adults, as well as fabric bags, and can custom-make PJs as well.

“Sales are going well, we have probably sold 200 so far,” Taylah said.

“We are relaying a lot of our profits back into the business and using them to make it bigger and better.

“We started when we were 12 and sometimes, when I had to call other businesses, I would think that they weren't going to take me seriously, but usually they are very impressed and they help me out.

“We just thought it would be fun. Some of our friends were starting to get jobs but if there was a party on, they couldn't come because they had to work, so we found another outlet to make our money.”

Taylah admitted there were some aspects of setting up a business that were a little daunting.

“I was a bit confused by tax file numbers and ABNs, but our school's careers department helped us get those,” she said.

“I wasn't sure how to make it look like it was a real business, but Lou O'Brien took some photos and made it look really professional, my cousin Bianca did all the graphic design and my uncle is a software engineer so he built the website and we look like we're the real deal,” Taylah said.

The business' motto, fittingly, is dream big.

“We use that as our little tag line, because we want to keep growing and establishing more retail outlets on the Coast,” the Pacific Lutheran Year 8 student said.

“Plus because they are pyjamas, you dream while you wear them.

“My family and teachers are very supportive and proud...my principal talked about it at assembly.

“I guess it's not very common but I think anyone could do what they wanted if they put their mind to it.”

Watch out for the girls' business website - www.jordantaylah.com- which will be revamped, complete with an online shop, next month.
