Often as small business owners, incorporating sustainable practices can feel out of reach financially and practically. Or, we feel if we’re not practicing sustainability perfectly, then we’re failing. Yet, none of these things are true. In this episode, we explore the imperfectly perfect approach to sustainability that’s so important for our planet and businesses.
It didn’t start with making my own foundation but teaching others how to apply theirs. The steps and reiterations from that initial business to the company I run now (Adorn Cosmetics), wasn’t on my plan but after testing the waters and seeing opportunity, an idea became a fully fledged business.
As someone who runs a business and a household with three kids, it’s rare I get a chance to myself, let alone a chance to consider the bigger picture. But with some practise (and failures), I have come to understand what tools enable me to stay focused.
Behind every thriving business, there’s a founder. I used to believe that unless I was doing things perfectly, my story should remain behind closed doors. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Embracing imperfection and bringing my personal growth story to the centre of Adorn has been essential - both for my business, and my personal growth.
