Tell us about yourself
I have been in professional sales and business for over ten years. I first started my sales career selling cars in the Bay Area, California. After I relocated to New York City, I transitioned to the real estate industry, where I was an agent until Covid-19 happened. Like many others, it affected me too. My real estate business came to a halt, and I needed to pivot to something new. I had been taking sea moss already for quite some time as I live a very healthy and active lifestyle. That's where the idea to turn my love for sea moss into a business came from. I am motivated every day to do what I do because I know the good that sea moss can do for people. With everything going on these days, you deserve to be healthy.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is getting my business up and running, to begin with. Starting is always the hardest part, so I am glad I took the leap of faith and just did it.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The hardest thing is getting everybody on the same page to see the same vision that you have as a business owner. You must be willing to lead by example if you want to build a solid team around you.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Don't think, just do.
- Learn marketing and sales.
- Get the right team around you.
