It all started with a cup of tea while on vacation, and since then Tonia Jahshan and her husband Hatem have built a direct selling empire (like $20 million in annual sales big) in Sipology. Tonia slayed the Dragons on Dragons' Den (Canadian version of Shark Tank), was named the 2016 W100 female entrepreneur of the year for Canada, and she shares with us:
- How she turned her love of a new-found product into a successful company
- How it grew so fast her 5-year plan happened in 6 months
- Her advice for someone starting a similar business now
- How "self-care" can actually be counter-productive, and how actually care for yourself
- How she sought help in a very dark time (Tonia is an outspoken proponent of mental health initiatives)
- What her favorite tea for this year is!
- And more!
You will fall in love with this incredible lady, whose #1 advice is - be kind. See, nice guys do finish first!
