Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Tiara Hardison. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Tiara, appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?
My mother, Trazzia Wallace! Witnessing my mother’s unwavering strength and perseverance in managing the household and supporting the family during my father’s deployments provided me with a firsthand lesson in resilience. This upbringing instilled a deep understanding of the value of resilience and its practical application in navigating difficult circumstances.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
My name is Tiara Hardison and I love to paint, I play USTA tennis and I’m a local Signing agent in the Atlanta area. I also own and manage TYInstinct Spa & beauty bar. At Tyinstinct, we are passionate about promoting holistic well-being through our thoughtfully crafted self-care products. Our dedication to natural ingredients, sustainability, and community engagement sets us apart in the industry. We are eagerly looking forward to the launch of our new product line in spring 2024 and are excited about the opportunities it will bring for us to connect with our customers on a deeper level.
We believe that self-care is not just about individual well-being but also about fostering a sense of connection and support within communities. As part of this commitment, we are excited to announce that we will be hosting an annual event in the area for other business owners this fall. These events will provide a platform for networking, collaboration, and learning, creating a space where like-minded entrepreneurs can come together to share ideas and support each other.
In spring 2024, we are thrilled to be launching a new line of self-care products that embody the essence of renewal and revitalization. This new line will feature innovative formulations that harness the power of botanical extracts, essential oils, and other natural ingredients to provide an unparalleled self-care experience. We have poured extensive research and development into creating these products, ensuring that they not only meet but exceed the expectations of our customers.
We are particularly excited about this new launch as it represents a significant 4 year milestone for Tyinstinct. It reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in the self-care industry. We are confident that these new products will resonate with our customers and further solidify Tyinstinct’s position as a leader in the self-care market.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Creativity has been essential in developing unique and innovative products that stand out in the competitive self-care industry. It has allowed me to think outside the box and create offerings that resonate with our target audience.
Building a successful self-care line requires resilience in the face of challenges and setbacks. It’s crucial to stay determined and persevere through obstacles.
A deep understanding of the market is vital for identifying consumer needs, trends, and preferences. This has been instrumental in shaping our product development and marketing strategies at Tyinstinct. We engaged with potential customers before our launch and sought out feedback which provided valuable insights into the market and our customers needs.
For individuals who are early in their entrepreneurial journey, my advice is to focus on developing these qualities, skills, and knowledge:
Embrace a mindset of continuous learning. Stay curious and seek knowledge in areas relevant to your business. This could include attending workshops, reading industry publications, and networking with professionals who can offer valuable insights.
Surround yourself with mentors or advisors who can provide guidance based on their experiences. Learning from those who have navigated similar paths can offer invaluable lessons and help you avoid common pitfalls.
Be open to adapting your strategies based on feedback and changing market dynamics. The ability to pivot when necessary is crucial for long-term success.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
By reaching out to us through tyinstinct.com, you can initiate a conversation about how we can work together to bring the benefits of our self-care soap line to your establishment. We are open to exploring various forms of collaboration, including customized product lines, co-branded initiatives, and tailored partnerships that align with your specific needs and objectives.
We’re looking to collaborate with spas that prioritize providing their clients with luxurious and rejuvenating experiences. Spas that emphasize holistic wellness and self-care will find synergy in partnering with us. By incorporating our self-care soap line into their services, spas can enhance the overall experience for their clients, offering them premium products that promote relaxation and well-being.
For hotels that aim to create a tranquil and indulgent environment for their guests, collaborating with us can be mutually beneficial. By featuring Tyinstinct’s products in their accommodations, hotels can elevate the guest experience, providing them with thoughtfully curated amenities that promote self-care and relaxation.
In collaboration with schools, we aim to support wellness initiatives for students and faculty. Our soap line can contribute to creating an environment that encourages mindfulness and healthy habits among students and staff.
