Entrepreneurial Challenges in Skincare
Starting a skincare business can be particularly challenging due to the saturation of the market dominated by established brands. The episode highlights Ashley, who is in the early stages of his skincare brand, Dash for Him and Her, facing hurdles such as finding like-minded individuals for support, competing against large companies, and building his brand awareness. With an estimated monthly revenue of only £500, his goals appear modest, aiming to grow to £1,500 a month. However, the hosts stress that such revenue is insufficient for hiring staff or sustaining a full-time business.
