I think my biggest fear is not finding the right people to support me in my business, not like family of friends but people who would work for or with me. My other fear is launching and it not being up to the standards I like once it’s public .🤷🏾♀️
I can totally relate to the fear of not being able to find the right people to work for you. I fear that if my business becomes to much for me to handle on my own I won't be able to find the right person to hire. But I'll probably never grow that large anyways. lol To help you out on your second fear, I don't think anything is ever perfect at first launch. What matters is if it's to your standards. :)
@@TaraLeee hi there.. I love your videos and hopped on this one before my launch. Cause I'm terrified... If I may ask why did you say your business won't be big anyway? Is it because of choice or?.. This part made me nervous as I'd like for my business to be a success
I can not even begin to explain his thankful I am that I started following you about a year ago..You have taught me so much and I definitely look at you as being very motivating...I plan on taking a leap at faith this year and start a natural hair business.I am a bit nervous but I know that in the end everything will turn out just fine.
You are so sweet! I am so happy to know I've been able to motivate you. I hope you are able to achieve everything you have been wanting to achieve. Best of luck in this new year and I look forward to reading future comments from you. Thanks for all the support
When I began ten years ago, I was afraid that my products would cause someone a skin irritation. It did, but they were allergic to an ingredient, and I survived it.
oh yes! This is bound to happen no matter what. People have reactions to things everyday. This is why I always advice to have insurance and making your company an LLC is the best way to make sure you are covered just in case someone tried to sue you.
I just found out about your channel yesterday, and boy oh boy i have been binge watching everything! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge you’re a blessing to e -commerce small business owners like me ,we have the same niche :) All the struggle and the battling yourself whether you should start one is REAL, but you just have to push everyday and be smart- optimistic- and the key ingredient is to plan ahead. Also, starting your own business is way harder than being an employee, bec you yourself do the marketing, the manufacturing, and all the admin stuff and behind the scenes, it’s a one man show, until the time you grow your business in order to hire an assistant. Thanks so much for being an inspiration and someone i can relate to, i quit my 8-5 job ( bec it felt like its not my purpose in life to be there, so i pursued my passion HARD. Got to a point i was doing nothing for 3 months trying to figure out what to do and feeling a bit lost and depressed) but then i grew the courage and started my business a yr ago btw im from the philippines. Thank you and more power to you!
Thank you! I needed this video today. Over here, still in bed at 11 am (usually up by 7:30), unmotivated to start the day. The embarrassment piece resonated with me. It's reassuring that someone like you with your wonderful success & progress feels that way too. Thank you for your honesty.
I’m scared of the financial aspect being a single mom. Getting a cosmetic chemist because I don’t want a private label, I want to create mine and have ownership of the formulas I create. I live in the US and it’s so much cheaper in China so figuring all that out is stressful and cost money.
I couldn't imagine dealing with that aspect. You are very strong to have the courage to take this leap! I wish you all the luck in starting your business.
I’m sure you know this already- but you are very impressive. You are a UA-camr with thousands of followers AND run your own business. Don’t ever be embarrassed to proudly tell people what you do 😀
You always seem to upload the video I need the most! I have a lot fear and insecurity about starting out as handmade rather than manufactured skincare.
Question :how did you figure out your packaging? These days things have to be aesthetically pleasing in order for consumers to buy. One thing I'm scared about is spending all this money on planning, formulas, packing, launching and marketing only for people to not even want my product
Thanks for posting this... because I fear that my production won’t be good enough... but in 2020 I’m taking steps to get past this because I don’t have it in me to work for anyone else...
Thank you Tara! I'm in the beginning stages of opening my own business of all natural skin care, and I admit I'm a bit terrified. Your advice is sound and and I appreciate your wisdom. Thanks again!
You're such a bloody star!! I'm scared of thinking I have my ingredient list right but I dont and go to jail Or customer complains about my product, Sues me and I go to jail Or i get my tax wrong and I go to jail ... I need to stop thinking of my life as monopoly... but these fears are real people!!
Taree I can't believe you responded.🤯 Honestly, you've been like a mentor for me through all of your videos even though you said you don't want to get big you deserve all the success. Like all the videos helped me realize a lot of stuff I need to get done and where you get wholesale ingredients, two things that I really struggled with. I really can't thank you enough and it's so beneficial to know that I have someone I can look up to and reference in the UA-cam community. I've always wanted to be a formulator but I thought I had to go to school for it. This channel taught me you just have to have a passion for it. I also really love the fact that that you mentioned fear and not feeling worthy because when I found your channel I thought I couldn't understand formulating or what everything does and why it's important to do it that way. It is what made me hesitant to try but after binging all your videos it just clicked. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this video! I have been so scared about starting my skin care line; so much so I've sat on this idea for 4 years. I recently got asked by friends for the scrubs I used to just make for us, and your video was another smack in the right direction! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks for sharing this❤ It's the same for me for the fear of embarassment, failure, and success (ikr its contradicting). For the embarassment part it truly hits home. Especially when close relatives (not my close fam) ask me what im doing rn. I'm currently a freshgrad and honestly (no bragging here truly) came from reputable university in my country. I dont know what people expect from me but staying at home and starting a small business is not one. At every single event of my big family, i always get asked repeatedly. I understand that i should've started entering the workforce but covid pandemic just sucks and i didnt get accepted to companies who have specific divisions that my major specialized. So now im super stressed whether to start my business first or enter the workforce with roles i know i dont and wont like..
You are truly a blessing this is my second video that I've watched within a few minutes you are truly touching all the real subjects that's been stopping be. I feel so motivated. Tomorrow im starting. May God bless you greatly!!!
I am so glad I came across to your videos. I am just starting off and your video has covered everything I am worried about. Thanks again for your genuine personality.
Oh my god gurl... you have been on my radar since you started and you inspired me SO MUCH that i started me too ( Dragon Marin) and whenever i feel weird about my selfesteem etc i watch your videos, thankyou so much
That was me too, i never liked to tell people about my business especially in high school, i felt like people would make fun of me :/ but idk why anyone would im making my own money🤷♀️
Thank you so *so* much for this video. You are my OG. Meaning, your videos when I first discovered them, inspired me to start the journey of learning, researching, and self-teaching myself to formulate. Admittedly, I have had some personal bumps in the road but, this is the year, finally, that I *will* start my business. My gratitude for you runs so deep, I am in so much awe of your inspiring drive, and I just want to truly Thank You for doing all you do. Just look at all of the people you inspire 💖. It's amazing. I've never clicked so fast on a video, tee hee. And oh my, *exactly* the video I needed today. Love, One of your grasshoppers 🤗😘
I’m passing through all this right now OMG 😭😭😭 I don’t really know where to start from I don’t have much money I don’t have any support so the little I have saved I’m scared of using it to start up my buisness cuz if I invest it and it doesn’t produce I will say I’m done for Cuz I will be left with depth🤦♀️🤦♀️ I need to overcome this fear 😭
Hi Tara, thank you for this video, now all my fears are gone and it's also good to know I'm not alone in this, as you have just motivated me with this video. So I have decided to take a step by getting my first set of ingriedients and tools(though on a low budget). Pls, can you make a video on the first set of ingriedients and tools for a beginner on a low budget? Thank you. Much love.
Omg I always feel like this I’m a hairstylist and I’m in the very beginning stages of starting a hair care line and I be so embarrassed to tell people what my plans are just in fear of failing at it
Thank you for your videos, I'm on my fourth one!! your very genuine ! Is there a video where you talk about actual profits and how long and how much you invested to make that profit? Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for sharing !!! This was very helpful, glad you were so honest. I have a question did you incorporate marketing on your list when your first started your business
I might have a fear of success to because the most I want is a smalls shop. Like a local one where everyone in town knows me but i dont want like this giant brand that's in every store that's to much for me to manage and handle.
Hello Beautiful lady! I was using a lotion from Victoria Secret that now is discontinue. That lotion was leaving tiny little sprinkles in my skin. I am guessing. is that mica?
Hi Tarra, thank you a lot. Tarra what i find difficulty or not completly undetstand is this. I find or think it is too expensive to sell or make an business for diy cosmetics. For what i understand is that you have to take a labtest for each batch of formulation you sell? How do you do that? For me that is what i am afraid of . Can you give some tips? Thanks you in advance. Greetings, Lila
Failure, lost money, embarrassment "antisocial BS mindset, lol. And what is the next move if I'm successful, how can I keep up with the need for my product when I'm a small business, one-man show. And how can I grow my business if movement is slow, but damn ain't no money to push forward because no real money being made. 😂😂 that's my list
I think my biggest fear is not finding the right people to support me in my business, not like family of friends but people who would work for or with me. My other fear is launching and it not being up to the standards I like once it’s public .🤷🏾♀️

How is business going?
@@elizaleke8373 Thank you Eliza for asking. My business is prospering tremendously 👏🏽👏🏽
When I began ten years ago, I was afraid that my products would cause someone a skin irritation. It did, but they were allergic to an ingredient, and I survived it.
oh yes! This is bound to happen no matter what. People have reactions to things everyday. This is why I always advice to have insurance and making your company an LLC is the best way to make sure you are covered just in case someone tried to sue you.
This is very reassuring! I also have this fear!
If you put a disclaimer can they still sue?
Whew this just encourage me! I'm in the process of creating and testing my first products.
