“Having other women entrepreneurs you can connect with is quite powerful.”
I am always curious how people get into their businesses. How do they start? How does one decide they are going to create a fitness apparel company?? To me, that would never ever cross my mind. But when you talk with Malea Anderson from Moxie Fitness Apparel, you see how it fits, how it makes sense, how she created a business and sales off of the things and needs happening in front of her. In our conversation, she talks about each year, every step, and how she and her business have evolved. Have you not yet taken "the leap" and want to know how another woman (and mom!) did so? Have you taken the leap and are still thinking about your own evolution and growth? Malea talks with me about all these steps, her 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. Quite frankly, it's inspirational to hear what and where she's going.
We talked about many things including:
- Taking what's natural to you and turning it into a business
- Creating additional revenue streams
- Creating relationships with people in the industry
- Evolution of her businesses and sharing her passion
- Primary driver of sales
- Importance of defining your customer and how (in nitty gritty details)
- Process of educating herself during business growth
- How her business has evolved over the years
- Developing relationships with influencers
- Evolving her business whole fit lifestyle
- HOW to live the whole fit life
- Adding more resources
- Mentors
- Loneliness in being a entrepreneur
- Benefits of a mastermind
- How she guards her time
- How she wasn't an entrepreneur herself and became one
“All the awesome education is out there. It’s so neat that we have so many ways to learn right at our fingertips but it can be a little bit overwhelming. You can overload on all of these cool ideas and then run out of time to implement them.... I ahve been on a self-imposed hiatus. No more courses until I implement more. ”
