Over the course of the semester we have talked about, read about, and studied entrepreneurs of many different cultural backgrounds, ages, genders, and races. Entrepreneurship is not a perfect formula that you have to follow step-by-step which in turn leads to success. Its the exact opposite and every entrepreneur I have blogged about has had different story. However, of all the entrepreneurs I have written about so far Hannah Grace and her business BeYOUtiful is one of my favorites. Hannah Grace is thirteen year old that is building her own beauty product brand from scratch. The inspiring part of Hannah’s story comes from why she started her business in the first place. When she was eleven months old Hannah Grace was rushed to the hospital. After a long night the doctors eventually stabilized Hannah’s breathing and she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Growing up Hannah Grace loved to help others with diabetes and come alongside them in their fight. This desire to help others is why Hannah Grace started her beauty product business.
At thirteen years old Hannah is killing the beauty product game. She makes her own bath bombs and shower cakes which have become a hot bathroom item over the past few years. Hannah has a unique desire to help other which is why I decided to write about her. From the moment she started her business it was not about money or recognition. Hannah turned her passion for beauty products into a donation stream to help fund research for Type 1 diabetes. Currently, Hannah Grace donates 20% of all sales to diabetes research and plans to increase that % as her business grows. Hannah Grace is also trying to help young girls not get caught up in self-image and mental health issues. Her brand name BeYOUtiful is meant to tell other young girls that they do not have to change their appearance to be beautiful. Hannah Grace is an inspiring young lady with a bright future who is creating positive change in the world with her beauty product business.
I really love this story about how Hannah Grace started her business. Bath bombs definitely have become popular within the last 5 or so years! I also find it really fascinating how each entrepreneur has such a different story. As you mentioned, there is no step-by-step rulebook that shows us exactly how we should build our own business. It needs to start with something we are passionate about or has impacted us in some way. Hannah’s story is unique and specific to her own life, which is why her business has been able to bloom into something so beautiful and inspiring!
