The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
Transitioning from a completely different industry to e-commerce has presented a unique set of challenges. The learning curve has been a steep one!
But the biggest challenge I’ve encountered is the absence of colleagues to bounce ideas off and the general chit-chat during the day. This void, however, has encouraged me to trust my instincts, be innovative, and seek inspiration from other women entrepreneurs and business communities.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
Running my own business has been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to pursue my passion while making a positive impact. The freedom to innovate, set my own schedule, and shape the brand’s identity are definite pros. However, the responsibilities and workload can be overwhelming, and I’ve certainly struggled with this at times.
But seeing my products in shops and receiving 5-star reviews on blends formulated and handmade by me far outweighs the challenges.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
My primary focus for Add Oils is growth. Looking ahead, my hopes and dreams revolve around expansion and making a deeper impact. I’d like to collaborate with like-minded brands and organisations, particularly those working in the realm of kids’ mental health and wellbeing.
I’d love to see my products in shops and homes throughout Australia, inspiring many more individuals to prioritise self-care to support their health and wellbeing.
