Yin and Yang: How do you balance work and family?
We still haven’t quite worked this out yet – I mean, has anyone? Always happy for tips and tricks. Jokes aside, I think when you’re just being kind to yourself and ensuring you are looking after yourself, the rest you can figure out day by day.
The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
Honestly where to start? The biggest challenge by far is the sampling process, because every time you make a change, it can take anywhere from 30-40 days to get the new sample. This is what can be the downfall of some businesses because not only does it take time, it also costs a lot of money, which you don’t realise when first starting out.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
With anything, there are always pros and cons to consider but without the cons, how would we grow, adapt and learn new things? The biggest con for us is not being able to do things straight away because we have to learn along the way how to do certain things. The time it takes to sample product is the biggest one for us I think. The pros would have to be being our own boss, being able to be creative and make our own decisions. Knowing that once we have established our business, we’ll be able to work from anywhere and have more freedom and spend time with our ever-growing family.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
We have so many big dreams on the horizon and wish we could start them all at once, but for now, we are focusing on growing our range and sampling more pregnancy support wear. This is just the beginning for BeYou Activewear, and we have so much more to come.
