Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in baby products but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Tamara & Haley Hathaway, Owners of Lil' Hunny, located in Longmont, CO, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Our business creates products and content with parents in mind. Our goal is to make parent life easier! Our customers are parents, grandparents, and any type of caregiver.
Tell us about yourself
We started this business to explore how to sell something on Amazon, and this has turned into much much more. We went from selling one teething product to inventing a new product that's never been done before, and the journey has been so rewarding. So much hard work goes into keeping a business alive, but what we've learned, regardless of where our business ends up, will be priceless.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Inventing our pop-up milestone baby blanket! Taking an idea from a sketch to a full-blown tangible product that people love is the most rewarding feeling. We created this with one goal, to make taking pictures of your baby each month easier, and we believe we've accomplished that!
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The hardest part for us has been marketing and advertising. This has been a huge learning curve, and the money it takes was shocking for us. We are always open to learning how others use these tools successfully!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Don't let fear guide your decisions, have faith in yourself, your ideas, and your business, and keep moving forward.
- Have a realistic mindset. You can't expect to have your business explode with minimal work and time.
- Be willing to teach others about your successes; they will share theirs with you, and good things will come to you.
