What do you need to start a successful business? Is it business experience, determination, or financing? Neige and Pippa Blair would argue it’s passion. If you’re passionate about the products and services you put into the world, everything else just details. Today, I talk with the two sisters and entrepreneurs about what it takes to launch an idea, grow a company, and survive difficult times. You’ll learn how pricing your products right can help you grow, how debt financing can give you more freedom, and why it’s important to constantly be innovating.  About my guests: Neige and Pippa Blair are two women entrepreneurs disrupting the natural beauty industry. The scrappy sisters are the brains and creatives behind Routine, a line of natural deodorants and beauty products. After searching for a better natural deodorant, the two sisters started making their own products and launched them in arts markets across Canada. Since then, they’ve grown the brand into a cult sensation and landed international distribution deals. In this episode we talk about:➤ How Neige got into the deodorant business (5:34)➤ How Neige joined forces with Pippa (7:36)➤ Their sales and distribution strategy (8:42)➤ How to figure out what type of financing you need (11:13)➤ The process of securing debt financing (14:04)➤ The importance of creating forecasts and projections (18:08)➤ Sharing your business’s story with a lender (19:00)➤ The value of bootstrapping to help lenders trust you (22:02)➤ How their business changed during COVID-19 (22:48)➤ How innovative companies are getting ahead (24:12)➤ Reducing waste through refill programs (27:16)➤ The importance of accurate pricing to make an impact (29:32)➤ Getting funding from SheEO (32:13)➤ Their advice for other women entrepreneurs (36:40)Keep ListeningCurious to learn more about how to balance between mission, financing, and profit? Check out my conversation with the Honourable Mary Ng about the importance of expanding opportunities and resources for women business owners, Kim Aitken on what it takes to finance capital-intensive businesses and Toni Desrosiers on how equality has played a key role in the company culture at Abeego.Contact MeReady to transform your purpose to an impactful business financial story, profit, and joy?

How to Grow Your Passion Project into a Successful International Brand - The Journey of Neige and Pippa Blair (Social Entrepreneurship)

Co-Founders of Routine, Neige &amp; Pippa Blair make a stellar team. As the innovator, Neige has always been bringing brilliant formulas for natural products to her friends. With the help of Pippa’s business mind, they brought Routine to life! At the heart of their success is a commitment to relationships &amp; caring for one another, and the insights on building company culture are therefore quite compelling! Some questions I ask:  What are the ways you’ve found best suit how you work together as a team? How do you take ideas from R&amp;D, bring them to the team and then decide if they go to market or not? What are some of the myths surrounding natural products? How did you begin to be taken seriously as a brand? What have you found to be the bedrock of your company culture? Is Routine Wine coming anytime soon?!  In this episode, you will learn:  The original story of Routine Deodorant Why Niege &amp; Pippa don’t often use the word entrepreneur How to thrive within family (and best friend) business. How it became natural. Bottom line: it’s critical to find a role for everyone that suits their personality. The whole idea of making a place where people want to be, the culture will take care of itself How most of the beauty &amp; skincare industry is marketing… not necessity. Culture: You can define it, or it can just happen. If you create the space, a place where people want to be, that’s the first step. Neige &amp; Pippa believe that if everything’s fed for their employees (their soul, their bodies), then the culture holds itself together quite well  This episode is brought to you by Peninsula, which offers 24/7 HR, health &amp; safety, and employment support to Canada’s small and medium businesses.
