Jennifer Branham had just had a baby when she began to take notice of the chemicals found in baby products. When she didn’t like what she saw, she began to seek out alternatives. When she couldn’t find what she wanted, she launched a business instead. When her baby was just a year old, she launched her own business, Natural Luxe, reports The Charlotte Observer.
Q. How do you juggle being a mom and owning a business?
I work a lot during nap time and school time, but I’ve made an effort this year to leave the laptop in my office and focus on my daughter (same with my Blackberry!).
Q. What is your daily routine?
I get my daughter up and going for the day and then I tackle orders, find new products, connect with customers on Facebook and Twitter. I love finding local events to participate in. I really believe you need to be engaged in your local community.
Q. What advice do you wish you had been given before you began Natural Luxe?
I wish someone had told me that you can’t be everywhere at all times, start slowly and focus on a few goals each month.
