Konjac Face Sponge
Sandra created the amazing Konjac face sponge — a Women Who WOW favorite — because during her pregnancy, her skin started to change due to her hormones. She was looking for something free of chemicals and odors. Her sister then introduced her to someone who produced high quality Konjac Sponges, which is a traditional beauty product in Asia. She decided to give it a try and her breakouts STOPPED.
She didn’t have to use any soap on the sponge so for a person who wants a chemical free, odor free product, this was perfect! Several Women Who WOW have commented on her product and LOVED it — including me. She began to receive compliments on her clear, vibrant skin — and people wanted to know her secret! Then she realized she had to share this product and all of its benefits with the entire world. So, with her sister and partner, they decided to expand the Konjac Sponges to North America.
The biggest lessons Sandra has learned in her business so far is: 1) As her business keeps growing, she has experienced fierce competitions in the market. Some competitors even took short cuts to take the market share. However, taking short cuts and doing unethical things are against her belief. She believes her company has to FOCUS to innovate and stay ahead of the game — they have to create high quality and ethical products — but never forgetting to provide the BEST customer service.
2) She is a mom of two boys, so she treasures the precious quality time with her children but at the same time she wants her company to grow. She learned to better manage her time and focus on what’s important. She trusts her team to help her make her company successful. Great job Sandra! We’re huge fans!
Newport Skinny Tea
Jennifer started her business — Newport Skinny Tea — because she wanted to create a delicious product that would help people cut out sugary drinks — soda, coffee, juices, etc. — with all of the calories. She believes these are the leading cause of obesity and diabetes. The teas actually taste great and had many of us desperate for more! I’m actually sipping her tea as I type this post!
She has learned in her business that she loves enriching other people’s lives with information even IF they don’t purchase her products. This is the hallmark of a truly great entrepreneur. She KNOWS that she’s in the content business… even though she’s selling tea. I LOVE it! It is very fulfilling to her to be an agent of good and to change people’s lives, she says, THAT experience gives back to her. Rock on Jennifer!
