Was there ever a moment in your career when you thought, “I made it!” What was it? There are times when I step away from the office to spend time with them, even though it isn’t convenient. I have a family and try to remember that my kids won’t be young forever. But I’ve learned to embrace the chaos and am grateful to have such interest in my beloved business. Like many entrepreneurs, my life doesn’t have much balance. Is work/life balance ever a problem with you? If so, what is one no-fail tactic you use to create balance?
I’m always plotting new ways to share my concept with others. Though it makes perfect sense to me, it’s very difficult to convince an entire industry to think differently. My theory enables businesses to increase their revenues without competing with primary product lines or performing additional services. Most have a large portion of clients with kids and thus, a built-in user-base. I’m constantly thinking about new ways to orient the salon industry to adopt the idea that ALL salons should carry a kid’s line, even those who don’t service children. My goals are the same, though the execution is a bit different. Though running a business was not the initial vision I had for my life, it feels strangely familiar. My brand is educating parents on the importance of quality products and challenging beauty industry standards, two things I believe to be beneficial for the health and safety of kids.
Conversely, Hot Tot is advocating for change by offering safe hair products made specifically for kid’s hair in a way that moms can get excited about. I became a social worker years ago because I was inspired by the idea that my efforts could have a positive impact on the lives of others. I’m enjoying myself so much, it’s difficult to think of my journey as a job. What is it about your job that makes you feel it’s the right fit for you? Like many who have started a business from scratch, I know every single component of my company. I’m involved in everything: product development, sales, marketing, customer relations and day-to-day logistics. I wear a lot of hats, which keeps my days challenging and full. What responsibilities do you have in your role? However, I stumbled upon an article that detailed dangerous ingredients commonly used in children’s products and quickly became passionate about creating a safe and luxurious product for moms like me. I had recently quit my full-time job as a renal social worker to be a stay-at-home mom and was certainly not seeking a new project. He saw potential in the idea and began encouraging me to explore product development. Anytime I would take him out people went crazy continuously stopping my family to inquire about his stylish hairdo and what was used to create it.Īfter about six months of ongoing attention, I jokingly told my husband that someone would be “brilliant to create a hair product for babies” (with absolutely no intention of being that someone). I used to mix baby lotion and pomade to give him a simple curl. My company was born in 2009, shortly after my son.
