Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal care but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dr. Lawrence Samuels, Founder of Rx Systems PF, located in Saint Louis, MO, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Rx Systems PF is a dermatologist-developed skin and hair care company. We specialize in hair loss prevention and anti-aging skin care. Our customers range from dermatologist practices, salons, and spas, to individual customers that want science-backed products to address all their skin and hair concerns.
Tell us about yourself
I have been a board-certified dermatologist for over 35 years. 26 years ago, I started Rx Systems PF because none of the current products on the market were good enough to give my patients the results they were looking for. This drove me to create my own product line that was backed by science to truly help not only my patients but also customers all over the US.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is continuing to successfully grow Rx Systems PF while simultaneously keep growing my practice over the last 26 years.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things for me as a business owner has been dealing with the changes of covid. Because of covid, we have had to get resourceful with our supply chain management while also supporting our wholesale customers who own small local salons and spas.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Know your why. It's important to know why you are doing what you are doing so that you can always align what you're doing with the core mission of the brand.
- It is important to stay up to date on your products and industry if you are involved in a field with frequent advancements in science and technology.
- Be prepared for everything! While this can be a tough one, it's important to build a solid team that can handle any task and changes you throw their way!
