Any advice for me on how to start up a body care business? To start i’m a 25 F and one of my biggest dreams and passion of mine is to create and grow a body care business and sell products such as scrubs, lotions, oils, perfumes, body washes and make it all from scratch.I have a name already in mind, a logo, and the look for the product. Also, I already bought a few samples to create a body butter, and the few people I let sample really liked it. I have no experience in selling, creating, or running a business and I really want to learn but have no clue where to start. Any advice? I was listening to some podcasts and even signed up to a couple of websites where they provide a “how to guide” and all that extra stuff. I’ve read into it but I just don’t really know where to start even with all that in mind and I don’t want to overwhelm myself with too much info either even though I think I already did that once or twice already. I would really like some solid advice to where I can start grounding my feet somewhere and take off. Anything helps! :-))))))
Contact SCORE and get a free business mentor, go to a few of their events to meet them and pick one you click with.

Look for a business incubator in your area, many local governments and colleges sponsor them.
Look for similar entrepreneurs on LinkedIn and find one or two informal mentors.
These will help you with the basics and hopefully reduce the number of rookie mistakes you will make.
Good luck!!
