Bizness Babes Blog: Hatiheri's Profile

Here is my interview for the Bizness Babes Blog Profile:

What is the name of your business?
My name is Tish Kirkland and my business is Hatiheri - headwear and accessories for hair loss.

When & Where did you start Bizness Babes?

I did the Bizness Babes course in Brisbane starting August 2010. 

How has it helped your business?

In so many ways! By guiding me to produce my Business Plan, by providing advice about so many different legal obligations and financial aspects of running my own business, by sharing inspirational stories about other, real, women, and by giving me the confidence to take my idea to the world! 

The biggest lesson you have learnt when it comes to your business?

“Start where you want to finish.” 

Your experience of doing the Bizness Babes course.

For me, the Bizness Babes course was perfect for helping with getting me back on track with my life following treatment for breast cancer. It gave me something (other than my health) to focus on every week , which was a refreshing change. I met the most amazing women with bright and creative ideas and was (and continue to be) inspired by these women. In addition, I loved being part of a community organisation and it really made me feel connected with my city.

Inspiration: Bizness Babes

Hatiheri could not exist if it were not for the wonderful and timely support and guidance of "Bizness Babes".

"inspiring women to turn ideas into business"

I did the course in Brisbane in August 2010. My coach was Liana Kabel and my business facilitator was Sam Jockel.

"Bizness Babes is a not for profit organisation with a range of business training programs for women who want to succeed in business.

"We began in 2006 with a vision to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit of mothers. Women who don’t have access to mainstream business education. Women who dream to succeed.

"Through our Business Development Program we have given hundreds of women the tools to create successful micro enterprises.

"We let business success be defined by the women themselves. While you may aspire to develop multi million dollar businesses others just want to have some financial independence … the freedom to choose salmon rather than sausages for dinner!"
