In the multi-billion-dollar beauty industry, capitalizing on every opportunity is essential. While networking remains pivotal for success, I hold a belief that diverges from the norm—I advocate for fostering collaboration and shared knowledge among industry players. Embracing a culture of cooperation, even with competitors, can lead to unforeseen growth, innovation, and mutual benefits in this thriving sector!

Taylor , 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?

Over the years, my brand has flourished, securing shelf space in various stores throughout my city. At the age of 18, I proudly became the youngest storefront owner in my area. Along this entrepreneurial path, I’ve gleaned invaluable lessons. I’ve realized the pivotal role of self-discipline and self-motivation in sustaining and expanding my company. Equally vital is self-development; understanding that continual learning and personal growth are indispensable for the ongoing success of my business.
