The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
Like most small businesses, there have been heaps of challenges: learning the ropes with websites, advertising, sourcing ingredients and finding time to get it all done. But doing it together makes it feel possible, and we’ve grown so much as a team (and as a family!) because of it.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
The best part is the freedom – working on our own terms, creating something meaningful and connecting with people who truly love our products. The hardest part? It never really stops. There’s always something to do, and it can be overwhelming. But seeing the difference our balms make in people’s lives is everything.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
We’d love to keep growing Tiny Leaf by getting stocked in more stores, expanding our product range (like our new kawakawa face mask and hair serum!) and staying true to our kaupapa of natural, homegrown skincare that actually works. We’re just getting started.
