Discussion with DorNee' Mastermind Session

This was a simply amazing session on how to start, grow, and succeed when starting a new business. Torrian was excellent. She was able to help me think about my business in a different way, helping me to see that this journey will not be easy, but if you focus and put in the work, you can succeed. Thank you Torrian for your patience and thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m ready to move!

Torrian gave me a full roadmap, not just motivation!

If you're a skincare brand owner who's serious about getting your products into stores, Torrian at Dornee Natural Body Luxuries in Cleveland Ohio, is exactly who you need in your corner. This wasn't surface-level cheerleading, she broke down the real business of retail, and I walked away with actual tools I can use right now. She covered how to market your skincare line to local stores and high-end boutiques, how to approach sales negotiations with confidence, and most importantly, how to truly know your numbers. We talked about cost of goods, understanding your profit margins, and how to price for retail without undercutting yourself. She also helped me think about my demographics and how to validate retail demand by surveying your current clients first. What really stood out was the conversation around building strategic partnerships with others in the beauty and wellness space, and her breakdown of UPC and SKU setup — something a lot of small brand owners overlook until it's too late. She even covered business insurance and what you need to protect yourself before you step into any retail partnership. This is the kind of mentorship that respects your intelligence and meets you where you are as a business owner. I will absolutely be returning for additional mentoring. Highly recommend Torrian to any beauty entrepreneur ready to level up.

Having a discussion about developing and starting a business with an experienced business owner is a great way to begin your journey. And Torrian offers that ten-fold. She is understanding and full of knowledgeable experience. As someone who is in the process of starting my own small business, Torrian was able to help me understand and answer all my questions about details of what is necessary to start my business. Thank you, Torrian. Your help is so much appreciated.

I thoroughly enjoyed our one on one mastermind session! Torrian was very intentional about giving me information that was focused around my business. She asked me thought provoking questions that guided our conversation and this helped me narrow down my “WHY”. After our session and reflection, I know what I need to do next to build a successful brand. I appreciate her honesty and humbleness throughout our session. Thanks for being transparent and a great wealth of entrepreneurial knowledge!

This was exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it. My business is in its infancy and I am feeling both overwhelmed and dealing with several major challenges already. In meeting with Torrian, we reviewed my website, looked at the number of offerings available, discussed the primary focus of my business, and how to best leverage social media. I have quite a bit of homework to do, and also feel a sense of relief as I reorganize items on my website, create policies and develop a strategic marketing strategy. Torrian has a lot of experience and was objective in her feedback, while offering some of the same strategies she learned from her mentor. I appreciate her candor and honesty, as well as the suggestions to help me be successful.
