Female Startup Club

This is Connie Lo for Female Startup ClubHello and welcome back to the show! Today we’re learning from Connie Lo, co-founder of Three Ships Beauty! We had Connie on the show back in August of 2021 and now she’s back with an update and we’re trying out a new format where we dig into some of her biggest lessons when it comes to funding, hiring and firing and marketing. This episode is absolute fire and I think we need to do another one to dig into Connie’s lessons on retail and product development- so if you agree and you want Connie back on the show let us know by sharing her episode on IG stories or dropping into our Facebook group!And while I’ve got you here! A quick reminder to check out our new program, ecommerce fundamentals. If you’re an early stage founder or you’re getting ready to launch your brand - and you’re starting the year really committed to taking action towards your sales and marketing goals - I designed this specifically for you. It’s the program I wish I had when I was building my jewelry brand and feeling totally overwhelmed and not really sure where to focus day to day. It takes you through everything from developing your messaging to your content engine, finding your first 1000 true fans organically, my proprietary framework that I use to launch and create buzz online and finally - getting started with your own Facebook and TikTok ads. And of course I have a special launch offer for you that’s available right now.

This is Sandy Ronalds for Female Startup Club.Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - we are SO grateful and happy to have you here. Every week we’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like the founder of NAT’V Basics, Sandy Ronalds. Sandy launched her biz in 2019 and in the last year alone sold 600,000 units from a few simple strategies. This story speaks to the power of spotting a clear gap in the market, proving out the concept, and going for it.In this episode, Sandy shares her blueprint for making your business make business sense. In the dreaming phase, determine your why and know what your purpose is going to be for the brand through building brand pillars (these pillars have nothing to do with the end product but are about why you are joining us rather than another brand). In the building phase, consistently communicate the dreaming phase; it’s one thing knowing something yourself, and it’s another when it clearly comes across (pumping socials with the why’s and the purpose of the brand so you attract those who naturally align with your brand). In the day-to-day, Sandy still runs the nat’v basics IG intimately; she gets to know you and you get to know the real essence of the brand. It's key to remember here that your why doesn't have to be grandiose. It can be as simple as brightening someone's day, making them feel confident, or offering a sustainable solution.Before we jump into today’s episode I want to quickly mention the Girl Code that we introduced a few episodes back! The gist is that it’s a very loose and casual deal where if you love what we’re doing over here and we bring you some value or a smile or a gem of insight, you take a tiny action every time you listen to one of our episodes. Whether that’s by leaving us a review, or sharing this episode on social media - basically anything that helps us reach more ears and keep growing. It’s a weird time right now and I’m in need of my hype girls. And to everyone who already does this - I appreciate you more than you know.Let’s get into today’s episode, this is Sandy for Female Startup Club.LINKS WE MENTION:Sandy's InstagramNAT'V Basics' InstagramDarling, shine!

This is Kristel de Groot for Female Startup Club.Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’re a small business owner or an entrepreneur listening to this episode - you probably know how hard it can be to generate revenue - it's bloody tough! you might have just started and made a few sales… you might have made a few thousand dollars in sales or maybe even a few hundred thousand - hell maybe you’ve made multi 7 figures in sales! Now imagine scaling your business to hitting $200 million in revenue. Imagine what that would look like from a supply chain point of view, a product development pov, the investment point of view.That’s what Kristel de Groote did - all while she was in her 20’s. I know. Wild. Today’s episode is a reminder that when you stick it out for the long run, when you have a real purpose and drive to change the world - magical things can happen. Kristel built her company, Your Super, alongside her partner Michael in their early 20s after Michael battled cancer. They built it to $200m in revenue and then sold it to the Healing Company in 2022 for an undisclosed amount. This story starts with humble beginnings and it ends with so many brilliant learnings, I hope you love it as much as I do!I particularly love the part of this episode where we talk about the bottleneck in your business. You are the bottleneck of your business. Some of the greatest growth that you will see happen in your company comes at times when you work on your personal growth. And by personal growth, I don’t mean having all the answers. It’s knowing that not knowing is your superpower. It’s knowing that you don’t need to know step 100 when you’re at step 1. It’s wholeheartedly finding peace with yourself when you are: on a seat at the table that you have built yourself.Let’s get into today’s episode, this is Kristel for Female Startup Club.LINKS WE MENTION:kristelandmichael.comyoursuper.comYour Super's InstagramKristel and Michael's InstagramHow I Built This PodcastJoin the FSC CLUB & Ask Your Questions: www.facebook.com/groups/femalestartupclubJoin thousands of small business owners who are reading our newsletter every Monday at: www.femalestartupclub.com Join our tool and private community for small business owners, Majic [formerly known as Hype Club]Female Startup Club's InstagramDoone's InstagramDoone's TikTokSay hello to Doone: hello@femalestartupclub.com  Hosted on Acast.

This is Samantha Brett for Female Startup Club.Naked Sundays is an Australian SPF brand aimed at inspiring the next generation to love and wear SPF every single day with fun, easy to use sunscreens.This is a really inspiring story and we’re going to break down her secrets to success, what makes a brand pop and what you need to know about regulations when building a sunscreen brand.I absolutely loved hearing about why Samantha decided to keep this venture a secret from the public for 9 months. She realized that sunscreen is complex, it’s made by chemists, and she's not going to be the one in the kitchen mixing this herself. Instead she's getting someone to make the best of the best, but will anyone really take it seriously with her name on the brand? So she didn't tell anyone about being a founder. This is the first time I've heard of something like this on the show, and I find it such an interesting approach. Samantha didn’t want people to think that I was just doing this for the sake of it.Another part that made this journey a little more complicated than manufacturing your regular beauty products, is that there is a strong barrier to entry in the sunscreen space. It is classed as a medication in Australia and classed as a drug in America. Those are things to really think about before diving into the space. Even when it comes to advertising rules, you should put on a warning *reapply regularly*, on social media, podcasts, influencers, the whole mix. You can’t give a testimonial. It's pretty crazy stuff.Let’s get straight into this episode, this is Samantha for Female Startup Club**Avoid prolonged sun exposure, make sure you re-apply frequently in accordance with directions. Remember, sunscreen is only one component of sun protection so always wear a hat, protective clothing and eyewear when you’re in the sun.LINKS WE MENTION:Naked Sundays' InstagramSamantha's InstagramJoin the FSC CLUB & Ask Your Questions: www.facebook.com/groups/femalestartupclubJoin thousands of small business owners who are reading our newsletter every Monday at: www.femalestartupclub.com Join our tool and private community for small business owners, Majic [formerly known as Hype Club]Female Startup Club's InstagramDoone's InstagramDoone's TikTokSay hello to Doone: hello@femalestartupclub.com  Hosted on Acast.
