In this episode, Nnenna Umelloh, founder and CEO of Black Hair Management, shares how she started her business with only $100. She talks about her journey and strategies that made it work on a small budget. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE

• Do not estimate the role of haircare in self-care. Environment and mental health impact your hair.
• Customer acquisition and brand awareness take time.
• Validation and testing the business model is important.
• At these times, it is better to create strategies and goals not more than a quarter in advance.
• If you don’t enjoy what you do, it’s not worth it.
• You can have more than one thing that brings you joy.
• Learn about your industry and be updated, so you are proactive rather than reactive.
• When you are creating a business plan, create several versions and start with the least expensive.
• Invest your time validating the business model and your revenue model before you scale.
• Before you invest thousands of dollars in your business, check to see first if the fundamentals work.
