We currently live in a mobile home as well. We call ours the rectangular living box. It’s an inexpensive roof over our heads while we pay off our 12 acres which will allow us to save money faster to build our forever home. Y’all are smart!
Thank you for saying it’s okay to open with a few really good things and slowly release things over time! A lot of people I talk to expect me to have a whole 3-5 product range for every skin issue when I open! I feel a lot better knowing that 2-3 is just fine for a start ☺️
I'm only planning on releasing 2 products and as time goes on I will increase bcos I've a lot of products idea. It's better to be known for 2 products that are really good than 5 that's not
I’m so glad I found this because I’m like you in the sense where I get really passionate about something and what to do all these things and then (for me) I burn myself out. So my new mantra has been, “slow it down and things will work out better” and you literally said this. I’m wanting to start my own skin care business and am in the research and development phase before I start selling online.
YOU WERE ON POINT WITH ALL OF YOUR TIPS...Prayers to you...You forgot the part about you being very generous thats where your blessings are coming from YOU DON'T MIND SHARING...
@Welcome's House your limiting beliefs and attempt to control someone’s words shows ungodly behavior… you can call it god, goddess, source of all creation, the divine, HOWEVER YOU GET THERE✨ stop feeling so entitled to your opinion as if it’s the only one! God would not want us being narcissistic so please open your heart to the idea of everyone connecting collectively to the LOVE of life. If your going through some troubles in life, remember to not take it out on others. Have a conversation with YOUR god
@@jacquelinenavarro5404 your comment was beautiful and appreciated. Unfortunately many are not evolved enough to see love and add to it! Thank you for being you ✨🤍
Im doing the same thing, I have handmade boric acid capsules for women who struggle with yeast infections and Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) I'm excited to see where this journey takes me...😁
@@curlyheadrenae8526 hi there, I took time to visit your website; looks great. Basically, am out here helping my little sister(16yr) start up her beauty product,and we have no idea where to start. Any tip?
Thank you so much for giving all of this info so graciously. This has helped me to start my small 4 piece cosmetics business. My Este Business is supporting it. My dream situation is that I work in a mom and pop herb store with a kitchen so making my products there. Feeling blessed!
@@TaraLeee Hi I want to start my business from UK tell me the very first thing do I need license or I have to test my products in Lab testing, I don't understand from where I have to Start?
My coffee biz took about 2k to start. Good info. You have to keep with it and keep creating new ideas. Figure out what makes your service or product stand out.
I remember when you had 4k subscribers! Goshh you’ve come soooo far, and I am soooo proud of you!!! Brings soo much happiness to have been able to see you grow, and I’m glad you and your boyfriend are still together! 😃
I love the take it slowly advice ❤️ I'm a painter and my artist friend wanted to help me sell which wasn't really something I thought of much so when he said I had to create 10 paintings in a few months to do an art show I couldn't create a single piece. I bought all the canvases and then stared at them everyday lost lol.
I have never heard of a mobile home until I watched this video. I have been researching about it & it literally helped me so much. THANK YOU TARA!!! Thank you so much for mentioning it.
Hey Tara, I just want to thank you for sharing your experience with us all. I personally find your videos incredibly helpful as I'm on my own journey to starting up my own business. Although not the same type of cosmetics, I too make my own and starting a business can sometimes be quite overwhelming. I was wondering if you could do a video talking about how to create a product information file (PIF) & batch codes for products. I'm really stuck on this and have no one to help me. Keep up the amazing work and thank you so much for your help! :)
So glad I came acrosd your video. Im 53 and have been making soaps for 7 Years i dont sell them as its for personal use, family and friends. Im only lately thinking of starting a small business. But extremely overwhelmed. I love your idea of start with one product. I get so overwhelmed with thinking i need tons of products but loved your advice. So now im going to focus on one product. Thanks hun for your wisdom. 💜
congrats on your success, and thanks for sharing your story! having your own business is a lot of work but i think it's definitely more rewarding! :) best wishes for you in 2020!
This video was really helpful Tara thank you for your honesty and transparency! I have been running my handmade jewellery business for a year now but have started to feel lost and your video has really helped me to feel ready to get back on track again so thank you!
Omg the passionate and obsessive trait is so realllll....I will be up all night excited about doing it......I also think courage is another trait because scared money don’t make money......you have to put yourself out there not knowing if anyone would Like it
Very good advice. So many people fail because they haven't realised how hard you must work or how difficult it is to sell someone something. They follow the "business school model", do a business plan with meaningless projections, take that to the bank and take out a huge loan. An expensive and dangerous loan. A sensible business plan I would strongly recommend, rooted in the advice you gave. Basically, a book of all your experience and findings. Don't borrow money, but save and grow slowly. This way you also learn your craft. So many businesses fail because the person knows nothing about the business they want to do. Sounds crazy, but watch those business type shows they have on TV. You will see people doing no research whatsoever. I recommend watching those shows as well. Well done on putting together such a sound set of advice. I wish your business all the very best. You deserve it.
Where do you buy your jars and bottles for packaging and the labels? I’m in Canada so it might be different for me but I’d love an idea of where to look! Thanks 😊 really enjoying how informative your videos are
Im super happy i stumbled on your RUclips channel. I feel supported already thank GOD for these Videos i will try and watch as many as i can. I want to start my own business doing the same thing and it can get a bit overwhelming. You give me a sense of direction. Love it.
I have a strong mixer with a secret item added for hair growth and stop hair falling and dry hair, even make people relax and sleep well, tried by many of my family members it works fast and well for them and they all suggested to me to make a business with this mixer but I am 2 lazy , beside I am not social and this is a big problem for marketing the business. thank you for this useful video wish you all the success.
The only person that is excited and really supports me in my business that I will be launching soon Is my dad and I am so glad that at least one person in my family supports me because it helps to have someone believe in you ❤️
Tara Lee, your right startup for a business is very much an individual thing. I am a retired nurse. I retired at the age of 48. I could do that because I'd saved some money over the years and I had at that point also knew what I wanted to do 5 years before I retired and had been developing products during that time. Business start up is expensive.( If you have nothing) plan on between 2500$ to 8500$ and that is being selective in what you buy and having a written business plan. Having a written business plan is the single most important piece of development you need to have! It keeps you focused and on track of what you need to do. I suggest this is where you should start. Mine personally was 23 pages. It will broaden as your business develops. Always keep a copy of it in case you need it for the bank, the insurance company, etc. I also want to say have confidence in yourself, you can do it no matter what business you choose. Also pick a person to have your back. Hopefully it's your significant other, otherwise your best friend or family member. They will keep you steady when you feel unsure. Tara did an amazing job on this video!
I'm really glad I found your channel. I have been looking for an inspiring RUclipsr besides Fatima Francesa and you are awesome! Definitely will be following you and your business!
My daughter wants to start her own business selling spa kits now that nail salons have been closed so they can do their nails at home. So she wants to make her own products with all organic raw materials. In my efforts to support her I been doing research so I can help her and I am so glad I came across your channel. You explain everything so well. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and experience. It will really help in starting her business. Thanks again, blessings 🙏
Hi Taralee Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm from Brazil and I just wish to hear what you said in your video 30 years ago. But I know it's never to late to learn. I wish you the best for you personaly and your bussiness.
From a business perspective and a consumer perspective. What kind of bottles and containers are best. Personally I prefer glass but glass is more expensive when starting out. I bought a bunch of plastic 1oz. And 2oz and 4oz bottles but I think professionaly it looks cheesy and feels cheep. So I think I’m going to have to spring for the glass.
I’ve seen some people say that Shopify is really hard on handmade products bc they’re considered high risk, and Etsy is somewhat made for handmade products.
TaraLee This was very helpful - Thank you for sharing the knowledge that you've learned in your entrepreneur endeavors - I truly appreciate it (I just joined your channel fam).
Your explanation are extremely well!! Know I get it so thanks for that been watching a few and know it get it all. Keep doing this your amazing.💯✌❤✌💜✌💙
Hey there. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. It takes money to make money. Way to go. Let me check out your items so that I can support your business.
Thank you for sharing this, i am now studying and doing my own research on soap and candle making aside from my hobby which is baking/cooking. I love candles and i use them often and formulating your own soap is amazing.
Wow, Yes. You are right. Any business has different methods. I do part time handmade business. I just started with cheap tools and I didn't have proper equipment or machine.
Thank for this video I'm trying to start my own products soon just that i don't know how to go about it but this video has really help,like you said one should take thing slow and do it bit by bit

Congrats!
Wonder
"I wanted to release a whole bunch of things at once"...this is so true! Thank you for addressing that
I feel the same way
That's what I am doing too.
Should have seen this video before. Now I have 2 huge boxes full of stuff with close expiration date. 😪😪
Yup me to!
I know right.

Same
do a video on how you bottle and package your items, or just a day in the life of a buissness owner
Yes please do.
Agreed.the really challenge some of us are scared if she can video would be nice. This is inspiring
good it also my question?

Very informative! Kinda the steps I'm taking with mine too. Still have a full time job but side hustle atm
what made you choose etsy as your selling platform vs other platforms, what is the pros and cons of etsy?
What other platforms? Etsy is the #1 handmade platform.
K Mcleod other platforms as is having her own site instead of selling through a third party site
K Mcleod did u really just ask that question. Smh
I’ve seen some people say that Shopify is really hard on handmade products bc they’re considered high risk, and Etsy is somewhat made for handmade products.
I was wondering the same thing ! Wouldn’t you make your own website for it ?
