Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in Personal Care but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Nancy Carrasco, owner of The Chi-est Beauty, located in Chicago, IL, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I make natural skincare with a focus on natural deodorant. My customers are individuals looking for holistic skincare products with real ingredients.
Tell us about yourself
My business started in November of 2020, in the middle of COVID. Wanting something more outside my corporate job where I could make an impact.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
So many amazing accomplishments, and we are so blessed with beautiful people all around us loving our products. We ship worldwide, and our skincare has traveled more than me now. We connect with our customers every day to see where we can give value.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Trying to do everything. I still have my 9 to 5 corporate job, so balancing both can be challenging.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
If you want it, do it. Don't wait; just get started. All the pieces will fall into place. Do not be afraid to show your face on camera. Put yourself out there. Lastly, have fun! Enjoy the journey and surround yourself with a supportive team.
