What I need help with

My background as an entrepreneur

My current challenges

Pricing, is my price point affordable? Is it undervalued? How do I get my brand out there before launch date?

Actions I’ve taken so far

Researched other small businesses and their pricing. Looking at big companies that sell in Ulta and Sephora, does my price match theirs? Reached out to micro influencers.

My future goals

Grow my business and expand the product line. Keep the price affordable.

My motivations to work with a mentor

Mentorship and experiences that a mentor can provide. Learn from past experiences and avoid common mistakes.

About my venture

Siii Cosmetics LLC

Creating a sustainable high quality cosmetics line at an affordable price. Having ingredients be USDA approved, reduce plastic packaging and being wallet-friendly.
