Although the fields are different, she feels the advantages she got from years ago in order to run her own business now. Talking about the constraint of her clothing business, the most prominent constraint is when the orders soar, but the tailors cannot handle it. She said that the constraint does not dominate her business because she enjoys everything about her business. After being well-known for the Muslim fashion business, Yuni tries to accept orders in any form of clothing, such as kebaya, shirts, formal dresses for weddings.

In her business journey to be called quite successful, Yuni admits that she never feels tired and bored. She really enjoys the whole process, both good and bad experiences that she goes through.
