Building a successful business requires hard work and dedication, but the returns can be far greater than traditional investments like the stock market. It's 20 years of work for an overnight success. As more of us are looking to add 'entrepreneur' to our resumes, we wanted to talk to some women who've dreamed and made successful businesses. As fellow hustlers, we want to learn from the challenges they faced and the lessons they have taken away.

Today we chat with the incredibly impressive Natassia Nicolao about her journey building Conserving Beauty. From creating samples in a lab to landing a Mecca contract and having Elle Macpherson join her board, Natassia's dedication and commitment to her values has led to a successful and eco-friendly business. We hear about the lessons she learned - including perseverance, hiring for your weaknesses, and building a strong brand identity - loyal to your ethics and impact.

Check out Natassia and Conserving Beauty here.

It seems more young Aussies are taking note, with many adding "entrepreneur" to their resume. But what does it really take to create a successful and inspiring business? We want to shine a light on the incredible women who have done just that. In this series we ask these trailblazers to share their stories, as we hope to learn from the challenges they faced and the lessons they've taken away. So, let's get inspired and start building our own paths to success!
