Don’t overthink it, just do it!....
"If you are sitting there, mulling over the idea of starting up a new business, and you are stressing about all the small details, you are probably never going to do it because you are hindered by fear. The best thing you can do is to say to yourself, “If I fail I fail, if I succeed I succeed, recognising that even if you fail, there are so many lessons to be learned for next time. So, just go and do it and don’t over think it."
- Jesslynn Schlamm is the founder of Lulu & Marula, a South African company that produces a handcrafted, 100% all natural skincare range, created to balance both body & mind. Jesslynn's startup journey is testimony to the power of passion and dedication required to get one ahead. Frustrated by not being able to find skincare products that ticked all the boxes in terms of health, wellbeing, sustainability and eco-friendly production, with a minimal impact on the environment she was inspired to create her own from her small kitchen. Today, her product range is still blended and packaged by hand in small batches in Johannesburg. This means that each product is unique and of the highest quality, something very close to Jesslynn's heart.
