Tell us about yourself
I started in the fashion business, where I spent over two decades working with top designer brands and serving women from all over the world. They all had a mutual dominator of wanting to look and feel good. Often I listened to their health struggles and challenges, and I wanted to help because I needed to squeeze them into those chihuahua-sized dresses. I enjoy quality meals and snacks, and at first, I created Rawmanticchocolate as a passion project just for my family and friends. At the time, I thought I had the best job in the world because I was shopping every day. Now I know my job is much better because I can eat chocolate every day and share this love and good chocolate vibes with everyone.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Running a company where I can support my employees, and together we create magic every day.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Several challenges. Building a team was one of them. At Rawmanticchocolate, we create a very safe environment where everyone feels supported and is ready to grow.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Be patient.
- Work hard.
- Never stop learning.
