Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Minnie Jones. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Minnie, thanks for joining us today. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?
Being the #1 leading skincare brand that made an impact on helping heal children from eczema.
Know that I changed the world of how parents take in consideration of how important it is for our children to have luxury skincare routines to prevent them from the free radicals in this world that can be damaging to their oh so delicate skin layers.
Also, that ME Skincare not a brand that just slapped our name on a private label to make a profit but that our brand was groomed from having hands-on Real-Life experiences in dealing with the challenges of having a child who once suffered from having sensitive dry itchy eczema prone skin.
Minnie, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I’m the owner and founder of ME Skincare. After years of trying almost everything on the market to help my daughter itchy dry skin and getting temporary results or none at all, enough became enough when my baby girl began to scratch her skin until it bled so I put on my mother armor and began mixing up all natural homemade remedies at my kitchen table as well remembering those good ole homemade remedies and natural plants my grandma Minnie Ola and my momma Debra used when I was growing up which began working wonders on my baby girl eczema and to date her eczema is healed.
Shortly after, I began sharing my products with family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers.
After receiving such great feedback on their skin changes, it dawned on me that I had something great that need to be shared with the world, so it became my desire to share my homemade remedies with parents around the world that has a child that’s suffering from the same skin discomfort my child once had. But in addition to, I knew it was a gift that God gave me to help heal others with eczema, so I launched my brand a year later and here we are in the flesh.

As parents we are very protective over our children, but I don’t think as much so with their skin care because we just go with the norm of what’s out on the market but with ME Skincare our products are sensitive enough to use on children of all ages because we believe children deserve luxury skin care from birth.

Because our mission is skin health from outside in, it’s what set us apart from other brands out there but most importantly because I’ve had to deal with the agony of watching my child suffer from having eczema and don’t want other children to have to suffer no more and took matters in my own hands to do something about it. To deliver a product that’s not talking the hype to help get rid of eczema, but we are truly delivering results and we have our customer testimonies that’ll attest to this.
I’m most proud of myself for seeing the vision that God has for me, blessing me with the hands and mind to create these products.
I’m most proud of the families who I have helped heal their eczema flareups.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
In all honesty, I didn’t have a strategy I just knew I had a product that I needed to share with the world and to do that I had to get my products out there, but in doing so, our business had it’s high points and it’s low points but when you fast forward to today I’m glad I had such trials. Why? Because!!!!
I went on a spiritual journey and just begin to pray and ask God to lead me and guide my steps to the people that he knew would help me grow, to revamp my brand for me to reach those in need of our products if it’s in his will for me to do as such.
I have Fatima Barnes at CEO Charm School http://www.ceocharmschool.com/ to thank for that. God put us in one another paths and she came into my life and helped me to focus on my why, a target audience, my niche, just so many different elements in having a business strategy when it comes to being an entrepreneur business owner overall.
You cannot or shall I say shouldn’t just dive into it no matter how much of an entrepreneur you are, and you have faith in your product(s) because without a precise strategy you will have some hurdles to leap over that just may make you rethink yourself.
I learned that you must have the right strategy for your audience is key from Fatima because when you don’t have a strategy it’ll be challenging to get the recognition your brand deserves, truly because I repeat, there’s going to be hiccups no matter what.
If you’re not prepared it can cause your business to crumble, so I cannot say it enough thank God and thank you Fatima Barnes because as my business strategist coach you taught me things about business I didn’t know and my degree in business management most definitely didn’t teach me.
I also like to thank Ashli Quomony, who was referred to me by Fatima as my marketing designer. I explained my vision for my brand, and when I say Ashli at SheRichDigital https://sherichdigital.com/ executed, she truly achieved the vision I had for my brand as well other tip and tricks for reaching my audience.
Support, having a support team is a plus because there will be moments as an entrepreneur that you will doubt yourself.
Why? Because having the right support system, people who truly believe in you and your success to grow they will give you their honest opinion which could also mean constructive criticism too.
So, after giving God all the praise 🙏🏾 I’d like to specially thank my children, daughter Xylah McKnight and son Xavier McKnight 🥰 it’s because of you too that momma will continue to strive no matter what. My family for their continued support and everyone knows who they are rather they purchased from me, presented selling opportunities for me, invested in me, gave constructive criticism, advise you name you know who you are. My fiancé Mitchell Grissett, and my church family TWOTC in Apple Valley, because indeed, as an entrepreneur you need an authentic village of support behind you because it’s not as easy as it may seem, especially if you are funding your own business wholeheartedly.
I must add, I’m very grateful to God because in the moments that I thought maybe this is not what I’m supposed to do, he has showed me on several occasions this is one of the many gifts of what he has for my assignment on this earth. Keep going, we’re here ME Skincare ~ Nature’s Bye Bye Itch eczema healing skin care products.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
The biggest lesson that I had to unlearn is that you cannot please everyone, you can reach them, but it doesn’t mean that what I have is for them. It’s not about what I like. It’s about the need of the consumer.
Try your hardest not to be your own worst critic because it can be damaging to the growth and operation of your journey. It’s OK to accept guidance because having somewhat of a shield when it comes to the overall essence in being coachable can also be hindering to your growth as an individual and your business.
Being Coachable opens your eyes and mind to such greater heights and possibilities and opportunities you probably didn’t realize of self because you don’t realize it, you can underestimate yourself as an entrepreneur and business owner overall.
You must stay focus no matter how tough it may seem because it’s really all in your mind due to your eagerness to succeed and you can be your own “undoing” if you’re not open to some tweaks or changes, so I say it again be coachable.
Yes, there will be trials and tribulations, steppingstones no matter how great your product or service is because it’s life. Open your heart without any sorts of fear/failure and allow God to use you and remember it’s not on your time it’s on God time. 🙏🏾
