Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in pet care but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Roxanna Whittington, Owner of Alternative Animal, located in Black Mountain, NC, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Only the Best Herbs and Natural Supplements for Horses, Dogs, and Cats. We create and source the highest quality natural herbal supplements specifically for people looking for a natural remedy for common health problems in Horses, Dogs, and Cats. Our herbal supplements offer effective prevention and treatment solutions without a prescription.
Tell us about yourself
Alternative Animal natural products for pets came from me solving problems for myself and my own pets with natural, holistic, and herbal sources. I decided to share my solutions out of my sincere love and appreciation for all animals and for those who, like me, are longing for a more holistic and natural approach when caring for four-legged family members.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I started with one product and an idea. I didn't have a plan, but I didn't give up, and now we have over 50 products.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Growing the business while working another job. I did that for many years. When I was finally able to focus on my business full time, that's when it exploded.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
It's not for everyone. But if you're self-motivated, find something you're passionate about and create yourself a business out of it.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Entrepreneurs are problem solvers by nature. Business ideas come from solutions to problems. If you have a unique approach to solving a problem, chances are good that other people are looking for it.
