We had the good fortune of connecting with Wanda Lloyd and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Wanda, other than deciding to work for yourself, what was the single most important decision you made that contributed to your success?
The most important decision I made was to make Wandaful Herbs image different from the usual vitamin herb establishment. I wanted people to enjoy living a healthy life using plant-based supplements, vitamins, minerals, and herbs. When visiting our store the atmosphere is inviting and serene, almost like a spa. A big part of my survival was changing the environment around me by going to places and doing things that felt uplifting and comfortable. Giving that same feeling back to every customer that walks into Wandaful Herbs, is successful day for us. Encouraging every customer to focus on the light at the end of the tunnel and providing a space where they can do that was the decision from the start. As Wayne Dyer says “I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside”. Staying consistent with living a healthier lifestyle and mindset promotes a healthier immune system.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My one-on-one person interaction with each customer is what sets me apart from other herbal stores. I dig deeper into their lives and goals to better understand what will work for them. I’ve always been that type of person to care for and cater others, because people tend to gravitate towards me. It is the same way with the business. Most people come into Wandaful Herbs and they enjoy our welcoming conversations. Getting to this point wasn’t easy due to not having a business background so with support of family I was able to balance the personalized customer experience with what works best for the business to ensure we can be around for a very long time. Throughout this journey I’ve learned that everyone needs are different and with a little love and support we all can reach our goals. My brand is for everyone and we make room for everyone. So many people including myself, at one time, avoid things because we assume things aren’t made for us or is within our grasp. My brand was started to close that gap.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
