Lunch and Learn How to kickstart your food brand

Learn how to take your idea for a food product from its early concept to being available on shop shelves.

Hi Incredible Eentrepreneurs! I am Olga the founder of a holistic skincare brand Nat-Zen.com business consultant at Soul-Led Ecommerce https://www.souledcommerce.com/ of &amp; mom of 2 boys, 4 and 2 years old.
My mission is to help e-commerce mums to increase their sales fast &amp; gain time freedom with proven systems and expertise so they can enjoy life being present.
NatZen brand journey began in 2018 when I started researching the impact plastic has on our planet. I learned about formulating plastic-free soaps, shampoos, and conditioners for myself, my family &amp; friends. The resulting feedback was so positive, it speared me into action to study herbalism and skincare formulation. This in turn led me to pursue my passion for botanical skincare. On becoming a first-time Mum with no spare time for myself, I completely abandoned my skin and well-being. The stress had taken its toll on my well-being and the way my skin looked. It led me to create a skincare line that helps rejuvenate, restore &amp; heal stressed problematic, and dull skin. NatZen inspired me to motivate more women in similar positions to take better care of themselves by embracing wellness rituals, balance &amp; a positive mindset in their daily lives. NatZen also fueled my soul-driven mission to help mums in business because I know how stressful and overwhelming it can feel. All NatZen products are formulated with a holistic approach in mind for skin care and hair care. This method involves treating the whole body using only natural and organic products to heal and nourish skin &amp; hair. NatZen in full is ‘Naturally Zen’ and as the name implies; the end goal is to create products that bring a sense of serenity, enjoyment, and relaxation. I am passionate about producing holistic skincare products that are gentle on the skin and our environment simultaneously. In 2018 I had no eCommerce industry experience or business background. I worked hard to grow this business from the ground up all by myself. It all started with the Etsy Store, Local Markets, and friends&apos; recommendations and progressed to a luxury Natural Skincare Brand that is an example to others.  As a self-taught entrepreneur, I wear many hats and have learned so much since beginning this journey. All in all, I&apos;m just a Mother who had a dream and decided to go for it! I made a plan, put my plan into action, and little by little how NatZen started and evolved. I believe that entrepreneur mums are true superheroes, they are passionate, multi-talented, and have a burning desire to have a soul-driven purpose. I created a transformational Mums in Ecomm program as a soul-driven mission to help mums with e-commerce businesses to implement systems, mindset, and strategies that will help them to double and triple their sales and finally move from side hustle to their dream soul-led business. I was inspired to build this particular program to support and coach women to achieve their maximum potential in their entrepreneurial journey. &quot;We have all been there...it&apos;s a feeling of mother&apos;s guilt and anxiety mixed with sadness when it&apos;s again 6:30 pm and I am running late to collect my children in the creche, I have been in meetings all day, skipped my lunch and had another meeting that ran overtime. All I want is to spend more quality time with my kids because they grow so fast, but I am unable to do that because I have to work for someone 40+ hours a week. This is why I am here... My deep soul-driven purpose is to make you stop feeling this guilt and spend quality time with your children while you still have the time to build your dream business.&quot; My mission is to help driven mums that have started their e-commerce business implement proven strategies that bring sales, get out of their comfort zone, find their unique strengths, change limiting beliefs, and develop the plan so they can work less, double their income &amp; enjoy family life more.
