What was the best piece of business advice you were given when you were starting out?
Your genuine net worth = your network. Go out there and meet people. Take time to develop your interpersonal communication and emotional intelligence skills. Authentic friendships in DIFFERENT areas of your life are so important and having it contribute to a strong overall support system and community is key.
Name the biggest overall lesson you've learned in running a business?
Compared to how the world was, we have SO many more resources available to us. A lot of things are so much easier and accessible. Push on, find and use the resources out there.
In moments of self-doubt or adversity, how do you build your resolve?
I think back to moments of how my product has made others feel and how much joy it's brought to families. That's my fuel. I also think to myself, "Nothing worth having ever comes easy". If others have done it, I can do it too.
How do you balance your workload? What does self-care look like for you?
I take things one day at a time. If I can't finish it all, I tell myself it's okay. I break tasks down into tiny things so I'm not so overwhelmed by it all. I remind myself there will always be more work to do but my health and mental health should be first.
