Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Tanya Lawson . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Tanya , thanks for joining us today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?
The story behind my mission is that for all of my adult life, I’ve worked on someone else’s job ; a regular “9-5”, but I have two daughter’s that need to be able to witness entrepreneurship from their mother, to be able to show them that they too can one day start a business of their own.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
As luck would have it, one day I was taking to a friend and she was telling me she began a snow cone business. I had been racking my brains trying to figure out what I could do to bring in extra income while at the same time, setting an example for my daughter’s, and starting something that they can also participate in with me.
I began researching and asking my friend for some advise. The process took a while as I had to balance my pay day; paying bills and paying for all of the necessary licensing before I could begin.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
From the beginning it had been what feels like a forever process and the struggles were having several different agencies to deal with. Each one would give me different answers to different questions. I almost gave up, but I made a decision that giving up was not an option for me. I stuck it out and jumped through all of the necessary hoops in order to be able to begin selling snow cones.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
For this phase of my life, I had gotten to the point where if it was causing me a headache, I would lay out go. I had to get back to sticking out the hard, difficult times and push through the headache.
