Description
Natural product spaceCame from head down and then getting up, I do try to evaluate just things on a regular basis. it's the Brendan Burchard planner. So every day at the end of the day, it asks like a series of questions and I go through those. And then on a weekly basis, I try to look back at my notes for the week and what was I saying each day that I needed help with, or that, that didn't go well that day. What were those things and how can I fix those.It's easy to lose sight of that and to get caught up in so many other things that are outside of that sweet spot. Being pulled in so many different directions, but I think anything consumer facing is I love to be involved in so anything from like the content that we put out. I was really relying on my team to do that for a while and I just missed it. I think its fun to interact with our community. And I also think it's helpful for me sometimes to look at things and reflect and, learn more about. I love like hopping on stories and chatting with our audience about new product launches or all kinds of random stuff. Labelling like Breaking BadCreating and managing my own product what I do in the beginning it just in the very early stages like I was doing all the manufacturing myself in my kitchen, I was shipping products out of like the room that was going to be my daughter's nursery. I was like labelling products in the living room. I remember Watching breaking bad, like going on a breaking bad binge because I had never seen it before. And I was just like labelling products, watching, breaking bad. So it was nuts. It was like all I was the one woman show for a long time. And so I had so much ownership of every step of the process. I couldn't imagine anyone else ever making my products. So I remember when my husband ask if probably hire someone to make the product. Like I thought no way, there's, I'm never letting anyone else touch the products. Other than me, like no one could do as good of a job as me to make. Which of course like wasn't true. And I was probably also not doing the best job because I was, running myself into the ground. But once I did hand that part of the process off, there was a lot of freedom for me in realizing okay, this doesn't all have to fall on my shoulders. There's there are people out there that can do just as good of a job, if not a much better job than me in a lot of areas of my business. And so I still had that intense protection over, our manufacturing and everything. But I also had the knowledge, the realization that at that time that other people can do this isn't rocket science.There’s like this endowment to how we were doing things. But there's also this other side where you realize you're like, wow, we can have the same standards, the same attention to detail, the same level of love and care, but at a bigger scale. And the truth is that all of its, trainable. And so our rule is like two people have to be present at all times, validating everything that's happening. so we have we have like multiple people working on every step. And then once they feel like it’s good, then I'll look it overBasically document like what's important. Making sure you're checking all the textures. You're checking all the sense, all the signs that we have in our business. There’s this constant iterative period. Like every moment of every day at a new customer, at a new employee at a new product need to buy your time back because that's the limited resource.What goes into my body mattersThe first step was really taking a look at what I was eating and changing that up, switching out my diet from processed foods to real foods. So I was wrong about, what foods I thought were healthy for my entire life. And then that kind of led me to skincare. And then once I changed my diet, my skin improved a lot. And then when I started switching out my toxic products for. Just really simple natural ingredients in the beginning, I switched out like my moisturizer for just pure herbal
