I’ve always said I got that entrepreneurial bug in me from my dad. In my 20’s I convinced my parents to open a clothing store with. We all lost money, them more so than me and it’s still a sore spot with me.
I immediately went back to working a 9-5 after we closed the doors. After a year or so of that I realized I liked working for myself so I had gained enough courage to try it again. I got my mortgage broker’s license and got my confidence back. I won the Rookie of the Year award and loved being back in charge of my destiny.
I then started my passion project which was health and fitness. That little side hustle that brought me joy soon turned into a six-figure business. I had my shine back and a love for what I was doing.
Which is how Smart Sip was created. I saw my nutrition clients struggling with their fiber intake and wanting deliciously indulgent drinks without blowing their calorie budget. So I came up with a super-convenient shelf stable product they can take with them anywhere, have that yummy creamy drink while it still being calorie-friendly and sneak some fiber into their diet.
Imagine if I had kept my tail between my legs after that first failed business and never went at it on my own?!
Don’t give up.
