Today we’d like to introduce you to Sukeida Jones.
Hi Sukeida, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Four years ago, I started my natural herb journey while suffering from painful menstrual cramps. My cramps were so bad that I had to consume 4 to 5 pain killers at a time just to make the pain go away & I knew that would affect my health in the long run. I then did my own research on natural remedies for cramping & came across herbal care. I learned all the herbs that aid in cramping, learned different ways to use them & stayed consistent. Once I started to notice a change, it was a grandeur moment for me. I started off using natural herbs through vagina steaming where you sit over a bucket or bowl of a mixture of steaming natural herbs with no underclothes from waist down which is an ancient natural remedy for vaginal care. As I continued my research, I learned how to combine herbs, roots, barks, leaves & flowers to make herbal tea blends/oils. I became so obsessed with all the wonderful creations you can make with natural herbs that I had to promulgate what I’ve learned & that’s when I started my own business named “Herbally Pure Secrets”!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It hasn’t been a smooth road for me because when I started, I didn’t know anything about having a business & I didn’t really have anyone around me to learn from. My struggles were just going for it, I would wait so long to put out a product because I thought it wasn’t good enough yet but I learned to just go for it & learn to make it perfect as I go. I also still struggle with & am working on maintaining sales while reaching a different crowd other than my family/friends, staying consistent, & learning how to properly market. Although I’ve grown & learned so much through this journey, I know I still have a lot of work to do in order to be able to accomplish my ultimate business goals, which are to be widely known & make 10k a day or more.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Herbally Pure Secrets?
When people purchase from Herbally Pure Secrets, they feel confidence in the product they spend money on because they know it was handmade with passion & integrity. I specialize in natural chemical-free products all made with natural herbs in someway & that’s what my business is known for. When I am working on my products for my customers, I give my undivided attention, I will keep making my products over & over until I feel it’s perfect whether I am tired or not. I make each transaction with my customers personal by making sure I follow up with them after they received their order to see how they liked it & if they didn’t asking what I can do to make it better. My undivided attention to detail, my personal connections with my customers & my personality along with customer service skills is what sets me aside from others. I am most proud of how successful my first pop up shop in Los Angeles, CA turned out this year, it was a dream come true. I want readers to know that I don’t come to play when it comes to my business & they will always get the best of the best with my products because I make everything with love. I make everything by myself such as herbal tea blends, body scrubs/face scrubs/foot scrubs, herbal infused oils, herbal whipped soaps, herbal bath teas, pillow mist & more.
Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
My advice would be simply to just go for it! Whatever it is on your mind, don’t think twice about it because that can discourage you if you think too much about it. Don’t question yourself to create self-doubt. Let’s just say you have an idea, you go for it & it fails, that’s ok because at least you tried and always remember you can never know how something will turn out if you don’t try it. I rather know I tried something that didn’t work out than to wonder my whole life how it would have turned out if I did it. Also, don’t compare yourself to others because comparison is the thief of all joy. Let’s say you & a friend start a business at the same time but your friend’s business takes off right away while you may not get any orders, don’t let something like that discourage you because everyone’s timing is different. Continue to work hard & figure out what you need to do to make your sales rocket high while still being happy for your friend. Try not to procrastinate when it comes to completing tasks for your business, don’t wait just do it. All in all to say don’t doubt yourself, the idea popped in your head for a reason so just go for it. Don’t be afraid of failure!
