The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
To be honest, I think it’s daily and weekly challenges of wearing all the hats in the business as a start up. I don’t think it’s one huge thing. The mental challenge of being your own champion every day before you have a team around you is a huge roller coaster but I’m stronger now because of it.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
The pros are that I am able to, for the most part, choose my hours and spend a lot of time with my kids as well as being able to fulfill my own goals and dreams, and, of course, create something bigger than me that will continue to give back to those who need it most. Also, knowing that our customers genuinely love our products and getting to interact with them and hear their beautiful feedback.
In terms of cons, it’s very hard to ever switch off and you can’t really afford to take days off before you have a team, otherwise things crumble pretty quickly.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
We will be launching lots of wonderful new products in the coming months and next year and then hopefully expanding into other countries as well. I am also working on some wonderful new partnerships that will allow us to have an even greater impact and give back more with each sale. It’s important to me that our brand creates change and leaves a lasting mark for future generations.
