Episode 10 - Ask, Pivot, Do It Anyway with LaShonda Tyree of Nyah Beauty

February 03, 2021 Christine Laureano Season 1 Episode 10

Asking for help, pivoting, and a “do it anyway” attitude to grow your business.

If you ever doubt yourself or think you can’t promote yourself, or create videos in order to make your brands known to the world…

Then today’s episode is for you!

My guest today is La Shinda Tyree of Nyah Beauty.

I first met LaShonda many years ago as a member of the Indie Business Network.

She is mild-mannered, kind, and knows an absolute ton about making soap and skincare. As a matter of fact, she’s been teaching it for many years. People pour into her classes like the Bath Fizzy class, Inner Soap Chemist - The Chemistry of Soapmaking, Vegan candle making and her Soap Making Intensive

As well as her popular event Sip & Soap. 

She’s been growing her business Nyah Beauty because of her expertise and amazing products.

When you hear things like…

“I am addicted to Nyah's sugar scrubs. I pack them with me wherever I go .”

And 

"I don't think I will ever use Dove soap or Jergens lotion ever again. The Indianwood Rose is my favorite. OMG."

You know La Shonda is on the right track with her business and her marketing.

And then there are the pivots.

From email marketing to social media to getting found in a google search...how many podcast should I be on...do I need to be at events...do I need to do video...we all have those questions.

I remember the thought of going LIVE on video made LaShonda almost freeze in her tracks. 

She knew it had to be part of her marketing and was apprehensive...but she did it anyway.

So she made the pivot...she got on FB Lives...and then did other videos and now there’s no stopping her.

In this episode, we talk about pivots and finding the resources and being an “asker”, which means asking for help to make it so much easier to take those pivots in stride.

So pull your chair up to the kitchen table with us and enjoy the show.
