BULLET POINTS FROM THIS EPISODE:
- What does hustle like a mother mean to you?
- I think it’s very important to set apart times where you work and times where you are with your family and times where you are alone and take your strengths from something which you like to do and need to do for yourself. Otherwise you will be overwhelmed with all the things going on and just go crazy.
- If you break down yourself, then you cannot take care of your children or of your family and then everything falls down around you. So I think it’s really important to just take some moments for yourself and even if it’s only 10 minutes or 15 minutes or whatever you can.
- So tell us a little bit about your story. What is your business, right. Um, and tell us about the process of building that brand.
- We have a natural skincare brand and all our products are based on camel milk. So it’s a, it’s a very rare ingredient and very special ingredient. It started when we had our third boy and he was one year old. We spent some time in Israel and a friend introduced us to camel milk and told us how healthy it is and we should try it.
- So we started to research and to create, and then it was too much at that time. We started again later on and this time was more time and a little bit more resources as the children are bigger now. And we launched our body line of products based on camel milk. And I’m really happy that I could do what I wanted to do.
- I think it’s important to move forward every day, a little bit. It’s not important to work like six or eight hours, just important to get in the right direction. Even if it’s only like 30 minutes a day, but you did something and you did it in the direction you want to go.
- What are some really good steps to take to move yourself forward and starting a business?
- First, not to give up on your dreams, even if it’s not possible now, it can be possible in one year or two years. It’s important to take this time for work and to take time for your family and to take time for yourself.
- I think it’s important to find for yourself what makes you happy. Find a balance in yourself and make sure that it’s fun for yourself and for your husband, for your kids.
- It’s also important to know, okay, I know this product is good. I feel it’s good. And I stand behind this and I stand behind who I am and how I act.
- Can you tell everybody where they can find you online, where they can see your products and learn more about your brand?
