Tamara Zantell is a Brand Strategist and Visionary. For the past 25 years, she has been lifting others into their greatness. Licensed as a Mortuary Scientist, Tamara has had to make a couple of big leaps throughout her career. She helped turn her daughter’s skincare line into a multimillion-dollar international brand and in this week’s episode, she shares some of the successes and learning points her family had to learn along the way.
Key takeaways:
How did Tamara become a mortuary scientist? Tamara’s daughter, at nine, wanted to learn how to make lip balms. Tamara decided to help her and guide her through this journey. Little did Tamara know, this little idea sparked into a big thing! 10 years later, her daughter’s product is now in over 700 Target stores. People build major brands just off of their authenticity. The process of starting a business is lonely, but when you’re just nine or 10 years old, it’s even more lonely. Tamara created Raising a Mogul to build a community full of kids who owned their own businesses. In the beginning, Tamara felt a bit too prideful for asking for help. However, she’s glad she got her ego in check because it was only holding the family back. “I can figure it out on my own.” Yes, maybe, but how many mistakes will you be making along the way? No matter where you are, you will hit a certain level and you’ll realize you’re not sure how to get higher. If you’re the COO of a company, you can’t be in the weeds with everyone, or else nothing will get done. Tamara wants to build a legacy for her family. How should someone begin to create a family legacy? If you only have one day a week to create something, then be honest about that.
