What's your business, and who are your customers?

How to build an e-commerce brand for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Tell us about yourself

In 2013, I worked for Target.com to start their paid social team to sell products on target.com as well as launch the Cartwheel app. Seeing the possibilities of running ads and selling products made me start my own brand shortly after and build it to an 8 figure brand by 2018. My motivation comes from seeing others become Successful in their own business.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Selling my brand in 2018. The fact I built something others wanted to buy made me proud. Sharing how to do that with others is fulfilling.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Being intentional every day. There are many things you can do. Choosing things that will impact your business's bottom line.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  • Start. That's the first thing. Don't overthink it. Just start.
  • Second, build SOPs for everything so you can hire.
  • Third, run paid ads and constantly iterate your offer and messages until your leads are steady.
