National Small Business Day
May 10, 2024
While BEETTAN has grown into a budding company, the spray tan we all love and crave started as a small business with a one-woman team, a pink tent, and a spray gun. That experience has fueled over 250 spray tan businesses across the USA today, empowering women to be not only beautifully tanned but also entrepreneurial.
Starting small is scary – starting at all is TERRIFYING! What if you fail, struggle, or need more time, sleep, and resources? Truthfully, all these fears are realities when starting a business – BUT, overcoming them creates something dependable and makes you stronger! We've helped women master fears of not knowing what to do, wondering how to prepare for pop-up experiences, and needing help with social media marketing and website development – along with many other anxieties common in the world of small business ownership. We KNOW what it's like to start from scratch, and we want you to skip the struggles we faced or the things we might have done differently.
For individual small business owners, having a crucial community to reach out to is everything. Being your own boss and leader can feel a bit lonely at times. Who do you answer to? Who says "you're needed, go to work," and who rewards you for a job well done at the end of the day? We know that feeling all too well, too – that's why giving our BEETTAN spray tan partners a platform to connect and feel recognized and valued is so important to us. We host a weekly call on Tuesdays to discuss BEETTAN, spray tans, client testimonials, triumphs and frustrations, and so much more. It's a night of convening to learn from one another and pick up valuable insights we can use in our own businesses, whether we're in Texas, Georgia, or even Japan!
So Happy Small Business Day! Here's to being your own boss, knowing it's worth the fears, and to finding a tribe that lifts you up – every step of the way!
