Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Laura McCann, founder, and CEO of ADORATHERAPY, located in Asheville, NC, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Transformation is at the very heart of the ADORAtherapy mission. Founded upon the belief that Mother Earth's abundant resources offer the ability to transform the human experience. Our aroma perfumes lift and shift your mood at the moment, allowing you to tap into your best self. When we have the presence of mind and heart to be more adoring and compassionate with ourselves, this very feeling cascades into the world and all we touch within it. As we individually transform into the best version of ourselves, we weave a new tapestry for humankind, ultimately elevating our collective consciousness.
We enjoy boosting moods and healing chakras at our store in Asheville, North Carolina, and on our website Adoratherapy.com. We also sell our organic, vegan & cruelty-free products to select retailers, yoga studios, and spas.
We are woman-owned, and our handmade products are designed to go beyond perfume. TRANSFORM YOUR DAILY PRACTICE OF SELF-CARE ONE BREATH AT A TIME. The Alkemie, Moodzee, Chakra Boost, Mood Boost, and Room Boost collections get you back to your healthy center and purpose. Our aroma perfumes awaken your senses. An alternative to traditional perfume, these all-natural fragrances and body care products of uniquely formulated essential oils and absolutes are the perfect tool to support your practice of breath and affirmation. Expertly blended to create specific mood benefits to help you manage stress, anxiety, motivation, focus, spirituality, and more. Think of aroma perfume as your life coach in a bottle.
Tell us about yourself
This is a great article that explains my journey with Adoratherapy: https://adoratherapy.com/blogs/change-shakers/insider-adoratherapy-auratherapy.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Throughout my career, I have received many accolades, awards & financial abundance. The biggest accomplishment, however, is using my journey as an entrepreneur to learn to adore myself. Adoring ourselves is the greatest act of kindness and compassion. Only I can give myself this accolade. It's the one that matters most.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Between the financial stress and the endless to-do list, it's amazing any of us take on a leadership role and build a business. The hardest thing, however, for me has been learning to keep better boundaries and create a safe space to grow, heal and thrive. When we excel at keeping good boundaries, many relationships that do not serve us melt away.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- What you see is what you get: See what is really going on and be rigorous in noticing what's real and what is not.
- Actions speak louder than words: Words aren't as important as deeds.
- What are you pretending not to know: We all want to avoid painful truths. Instead, open your third eye and trust your intuition.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Adoring ourselves is the hack we all need. She finishes. It's not impossible to love ourselves. You just have to wake up every day and do it.
