How Adriana Closed 21 Stores in 28 Days

Makers Business Tribe — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 07:03:00 +0000

In this power-packed episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes story of Adriana, founder of Mama Nayture, who joined our Pitch Ready one-day accelerator—and 28 days later, walked away with 21 new stockists.

She did it while:
✔️ Still working full-time
✔️ Growing her business from scratch
✔️ Preparing for maternity leave

Instead of slowing down, Adriana used her due date as fuel to light a fire under her retail game—and she did not mess around.

Inside this episode, I’ll walk you through:

The real reason having a “no excuses” deadline transformed her sales
The exact offer and pitch we refined to help her close more deals, faster
Why closing on the spot (not just chatting) changed her cash flow
How we mapped her nurture plan so reorders roll in even while she’s on leave
The big shift from “just leaving samples” to building real shelf presence + reorder systems

If you’ve ever said, “I want to get into more stores but I don’t have the time,” this episode is your wake-up call. Because Adriana didn’t find time—she made it work with clarity, structure, and a proven plan.

This is what’s possible when you stop winging it and get strategic about your growth.

Your host:

Hey, I'm Nina Huchthausen, your host & the founder of the Makers Business Tribe. After more than 15 years scaling tech startups and government projects across the globe, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to turn ideas into powerhouse companies. I’ve had the chance to lead the growth of some fantastic teams and now-global companies like Bike Exchange and MadPaws, driving successful IPOs and tripling revenue along the way. With a Master’s in International Business and Project Management, my background is all about organizational strategy, leadership, and finding those little time-saving hacks that lead to big growth.

I’ve been lucky to speak at events like CPA Australia’s Women in Leadership, Forward Fest, and Agile Aus, and my own journey scaling a business to seven figures while embracing motherhood has been one of the most fulfilling (and challenging) experiences of my life. My career path took a big turn when I decided to leave corporate life to focus on something closer to my heart: empowering other makers and leaving a positive impact on our planet.

Now, at Makers Business Tribe, I’m here to support our tribe members in laying the groundwork for business success that’s not just profitable but also deeply fulfilling.

Why Getting Stocked in Retail Means Nothing Without This

Makers Business Tribe — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 20:52:00 +0000

Getting stocked is not the goal. Staying stocked is.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what actually moves the needle after you get that first order. I’m sharing the exact system I teach my clients to turn a one-off $400 order into consistent $4K–$10K reorders.

We’ll cover:

Why sell-through matters more than shelf space
What to do immediately after getting stocked to set yourself up for reorders
How to turn retail staff into your best unpaid sales reps
What most product brands forget—and how it costs them thousands

If you’re serious about growing your retail revenue in 2025 and beyond, this is a must-listen.

How to Build a Business That Sells (and Runs) Without You

Makers Business Tribe — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:34:00 +0000

You started your business for freedom, impact, and living life your way —not to be tied to it 24/7. But here you are… juggling markets, pumping out social media posts, stressing over ads, battling with the algorithm and feeling like if you stop, your sales stop too.

Sound familiar?

The truth is, if your business can’t make money without you constantly showing up, you don’t have a business—you have a very demanding job. And for ambitious founders (who are also busy mums, partners, and humans with actual lives), that’s a one-way ticket to burnout.

In this episode, we’re breaking down exactly how to shift from hustling for every sale to building leverage—so your business can sell for you, even when you're not working.

No more trading time for money. No more feast-or-famine months. Just a business that supports your life, not the other way around.

Ready to build leverage in your business?

Join my next live workshop on 19th March where I’ll walk you through step by step how to create and scale a business that keeps selling even when you sleep.

How to Create a Business That Fuels Your Fire (Not Just Your Bank Account)

Makers Business Tribe — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 03:30:00 +0000

Let’s get real—most businesses don’t make it past the first three years. Not because the product wasn’t good, but because the founder ran out of fire.

In this episode, I’m diving deep into the one thing that separates businesses that thrive from those that disappear—impact.

If your only reason for starting your business was "more time" or "more money," here’s the hard truth: it won’t be enough to carry you through the tough times. But when your business is built on something deeper—a mission, a fire, a big freaking reason to keep going—you’ll have the fuel to push through every challenge, every setback, every no.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔ Why most businesses fail (and how to make sure yours doesn’t)
✔ How to define the impact that fuels YOU (so you don’t burn out)
✔ The 3 must-answer questions to create a business that stands out

I also share personal lessons from my first seven-figure business—why I walked away from it, what I did differently the second time around, and how this shift changed everything.

What Do You Really Want? Aligning Your Goals, Energy, and Habits for 2025 Success

Makers Business Tribe — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 08:25:03 +0000

As we dive into 2025, I’ve been asking myself this one big question: What do I really want this year?

And how can I set up my business in a way to not just make this a wishful dream but 100% reality?

And let me tell you—it’s not always easy to answer. In this episode, I’m sharing the exact process I’m using to align my energy, habits, and goals so I can show up as the best version of myself, not just for my business but for my life.

What started as a craving for a taste of home on a long drive to her hometown Geralton in Western Australia has now become a premium product taking up WA's premium retailer shelf space to help us stay hydrated, energised and refreshed even during the hottest of summer month.

Sonia’s story is a rollercoaster of resilience, culture, and pure determination to introduce Australians to something more than just a cold veggie laden drink—it’s a way of life.

We laughed, we cried, we got real about the struggles of starting a business with no blueprint, and we celebrated small and big milestones on her way to get her beautiful drink stocked across Australia.

Sonia opens up about the energy and love she pours into every bottle and the challenge of convincing a market unfamiliar with gazpacho.

Top Highlights:

"It all started with a craving for something refreshing and nutrient dense on a long drive home," Sonia shares. From that craving she decided to create what Spanish families use a staple in their househould to nourish themselves.

The unique hurdles of bringing a fresh, locally sourced, preservative-free product to WA supermarkets—and why Sonia wouldn’t have it any other way.

How Sonia’s unwavering belief in Bravo Gazpacho and her commitment to local sourcing and premium quality are driving her success.

This is more than a story of a product; it’s a celebration of cultural roots, entrepreneurial grit, and the joy of sharing something you love with the world.

If you’re ready to be inspired by Sonia's grid and determination and maybe even get a little thirsty, hit play now!

From Startup to 7 Figures: Joel Fraser’s 11-Year Journey Building & Selling Kaizen Nutrition

Makers Business Tribe — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 00:47:00 +0000

In this episode, I sit down with Joel Fraser, the inspiring founder of Kaizen Nutrition, who took the leap at just 21 years old to build a nutrition business that grew into a 7-figure powerhouse. Joel’s journey wasn’t smooth sailing—it was filled with late nights, risky decisions, and lessons learned the hard way. But after 11 years, his dedication paid off when he successfully sold his company to Australia’s largest health retailer.

We dive into the challenges Joel faced, from launching his first store with no capital to navigating the struggles of COVID-19 and finding innovative ways to stand out in a competitive industry. Joel shares how he stayed true to his values, why he believes branding is as critical as the product itself, and the power of surrounding yourself with the right people to accelerate growth.

Top Highlights:

The risky move that gave Joel the capital to launch his business—and why urgency became his greatest tool.
How focusing on unique, high-quality products helped Kaizen Nutrition stand out in retail and online.
Joel’s “aha” moment: Why your network and environment are everything in business (and how they have massively helped in turning his business from surviving to thriving)

Whether you’re just starting out or looking for inspiration to push through the tough times, this episode will leave you fired up and ready to tackle your own entrepreneurial journey.

Who is Joel?

Joel Fraser, Founder of Kaizen Nutrition & Oxygennutrition.com.au.

Not only has he become a 7 figure health and fitness retailer with two stores and a large e-commerce presence, but has also developed 2x health products that have made their way onto the shelves of over 450 retailers across Australia.

After 11 years of blood, sweat, tears and risk taking Joel sold the business in 2023 to one of Australia's largest health retailers and have since been consulting for other brands around the world.

Let’s Get Real: Facing Fears, Finding Purpose, and Creating a Product You Truly Love - With Mindful Foods Founder Georgie

Makers Business Tribe — Thu, 07 Nov 2024 05:24:00 +0000

In this episode, I sit down with Georgie, founder of Mindful Foods and head strategist at Makers Business Tribe, to dive into the real, raw journey of building a business from scratch driven by a big passion for health without any funds or investors and turning it into a multi 7 figure and 30+ staff business venture.

Georgie opens up about her personal experiences with burnout, motherhood, and finding community support while navigating the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship.

We chat about the courage it takes to show up authentically—even when things aren’t perfect—and how it’s okay to start small, keep it local, and grow your confidence step by step.

Georgie shares her best tips for building meaningful relationships with stockists, facing fears head-on, and embracing every win (big or small).

This episode is a must-listen if you are dreaming about or in the pmidst of creating an impactful business that makes your heart sing, but are also facing the struggles of limited budet, time, fears of failing or how to take that first leap.

---

Who is Georgie?

At the age of 25, Georgie was looking for a Tarot reader in Byron Bay, but instead came across a Food Co-operative. She started buying organic bulk ingredients for her home-made granola, which she brought in to share with the Co-op community. She was encouraged to take her delicious granola in to local stores, so with little sales experience, but a whole lot of passion, she did just that, and Mindful Foods was born.

After 3 years establishing Mindful Foods, Georgie and her business partner opened a distribution business called “The Byron Coop” coincidentally the same name as the food coop where it all started! The 2 businesses ran side by side, manufacturing organic and activated health food products, and distributing them, along with another 20 brands including Life Cykel, Byron Bay Coffee and Byron Bay Peanut Butter.

Having built the business turnover to a 7 digit figure, with over 30 staff, 400+ retail stores, including overseas distribution, Georgie handed over the ropes and passed on her Directorship to a new owner, in order to dedicate her time and energy to her new baby daughter, Mila. A choice she has never regretted.

Finding Your Calm: How Glowable Founder Tegan is Redefining Wellness for Women Who Do It All

Makers Business Tribe — Tue, 29 Oct 2024 20:31:00 +0000

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Tegan, founder of Glowable and creator of Adapt, a powerful stress-support supplement. Tegan’s journey began in her early days as a clinical naturopath, where she quickly realized that so many of the issues her clients faced—from digestive troubles to fatigue and hormonal imbalance—were linked back to one root cause: stress. It was seeing her mother’s battle with cancer that first opened her eyes to the profound impact stress can have on our health, lighting a fire in her to dive deeper and support women on their wellness journeys.

After experiencing her own struggles with burnout and recognizing that stress was a key factor in her clients' and her own health, Tegan became driven to find a solution. She wanted to create something that didn’t just treat the symptoms, but actually supported the body’s resilience to stress. Her goal was ambitious: develop a product that busy women could turn to as a reliable ally in their daily lives, allowing them to cope with the physical impacts of stress and find that elusive sense of calm.

But it wasn’t just about creating a supplement—Tegan also faced the daunting task of building a product-based business from scratch. From the research and development of Adapt to balancing her vision for wellness with the demands of entrepreneurship, Tegan didn’t hold back. She knew firsthand the struggles of juggling motherhood, career, and personal health, and she channeled that experience into crafting a brand that speaks directly to women who, like her, want to live life fully, while taking care of themselves from the inside out.

Join us for a heartfelt conversation as Tegan opens up about her journey of creating Adapt, redefining wellness for women who do it all, and bringing her passion for holistic health into the world of business. You’ll leave feeling inspired, uplifted, and maybe even a little closer to finding your own calm.

Chasing Happiness, Embracing Change & Getting Back to Feeling 10/10 - Our Family Adventure

Makers Business Tribe — Wed, 16 Oct 2024 03:05:00 +0000

In this week's episode I am reflecting & sharing a bit of an update on our journey as a family, as business owners, as parents and humans trying to figure out life on our quest to be, live and embrace that feeling of 10/10.

Because, to create a thriving business, it is sooo paramount that we - as the owner of the business, we - as mum or dad, as partner, as friend, as daughter or son, are feeling good in our skin, in our environment, and inside our little daily life bubble.

For quite a while, we had been noticing that something was off. Why, when we've slept well, ate well & moved well are we still feeling tired & exhausted, having a shoter fuse, geetting more irritable?

So we sat down down & went within to find out what we need, like REALLY need, to thrive again & get our sparks back.

And today I find myself inmidst of unpacked boxes, happy, sad, tired and full of excitement - in our new home sharing with you our story so far.

If you are curious about where we are at, what lemons life has thrown at us and how we are determined to squeeze them hard, enjoy this podcast or save for later.

Getting Personal - Why is Life Hard Right Now?

Makers Business Tribe — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 20:33:00 +0000

In this week's episode I got inspired by Jenna Kutcher's famous book & phrase 'How are you, really?' and am going on a personal reflection journey to find out 'Why is life hard right now'?

For quite a few month now I've been feeling just a that little bit off. Not terrible but maybe more like a 7 or 8 out of 10. Unusual for me, as when I am in my element and working with the Tribe and seeing them grow, on paper I SHOULD be that 10/10.

But I wasn't. I would wake up feeling a bit lost, my confidence would be shaky, or sometimes I would feel just that a little less drive than usual.

And honestly, thanks to my amazing body giving me a really tight glute and back to deal with I finally sat down with myself and asked a very crucial question - 'What do you need Nina to play at your best?'

If business feels hard for you, if you feel tired, a bit exhausted and less than 10/10, maybe this episode gives you some inspiration knowing you are not alone. And of freaking boy, life is just one crazy journey! :)

Much love,

Nina

Juggling 10 balls in the air? How to stay sane when you have to operate like an Octopus

Makers Business Tribe — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 20:32:00 +0000

Here is How to Scale Your Sales with a Distributor

Makers Business Tribe — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 20:31:00 +0000

In today's episode, I am going to unpack for you the key opportunities a distributor can create for your business to move product out of your warehouse and into shelves.

Let's face it, unless you are able to afford a big sales team that can travel across the country & beyond for you, you'll be quite limited by your own to get your products into retail shelves. Throw kids, family and life, there is only so much time in the day to visit stockists and get your products stocked.

So if you want to go a lil faster, then finding a distrobutor partner, aka someone who holds relationships with several thousand stores already and has the capability to introduce your product, can be like finding gold!

But is it that easy?
Or what are the key steps to watch out for?
What are the jobs a distributor can do for me?
How much do the charge?
What are the challenges?

How to get your brand in front of 100s of stockists within 3 days via Trade Shows

Makers Business Tribe — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 20:20:00 +0000

Getting 100s of eyes on your products and potentially big sales deals is the big promise & dream picture painted of every trade show. But to get your products in front of big buyers is neither a cheap nor easy feat.

Stall fees cost several thousands of dollars
Your Story, Presentation & Pitch needs to be on point & requires a good quarter to prepare
And once the show is over, the real work starts to reconnect with prospect buyers, building further connection & (fingers crossed) pulling through those big deals

Sounds like A LOT? Most definitely! BUT, what if... they could literally catapult your business into a whole new spere as promised by the orgenisers?

To answer the question: Are trade shows worth your time? ... I had a chat with Hayleah, MBT Strategist & Founder of HeyHayleah - a Virtual Wholesale Agency - as she spent 4x days at Reed, Life & Style & ADHA in Melbourne a few weeks ago, to share with us not only her verdict but also delve into:

Here is Why Launching & Selling a Product Online Is Hard Work and How To Break Through That Wall

Makers Business Tribe — Tue, 06 Aug 2024 20:31:00 +0000

In this Episode I am breaking down one of the biggest challenges any product-based business owner faces when trying to launch their product Online. Not Getting Sales/ Not getting Traction. Instead we end up banging our heads against the wall, spending months and months of energy, time and money trying to get through.

To be seen, to be trusted, to be recognised and ultimately to be favoured and chosen by their target audience above any comparable products that might be out there. And more often than not, businesses run out of steam, out of energy, out of funds and out of passion, left with hopelessness and ready to throw the towel.

But what if I told you, it really doesn't have to be the case? That there is a method to the madness. A way to get through your wall? (without millions of dollars in the bank).

How To Start Your Email Marketing Journey with Angus Cowan

Makers Business Tribe — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 20:33:00 +0000

In this week's episode, I am super stoked to have a conversation with our MBT Email Marketing Partner Angus Cowan from MKTGemails.com on all things email marketing.

Hand to heart, chances are you've seen a few posts on your socials or heard from someone somewhere that you should do email marketing. And you might have even been entertaining the idea for a while, but can I make a guess?

For some reason, it's still a should? Because, in all honesty, how do you even do effective email marketing?

How do I start?
What's the difference between email flows and campaign emails?
What should I be writing about? How often?
What makes a 'good' marketing email that people actually wanna read?
How can emails make me money? And how do I go about sending an offer?
And gosh all this pressure around Christmas, Black Friday, Cyber Monday - What is best to do for me and my brand?

If these are some of the burning questions you have about email marketing, then tune in, take notes and high five yourself for an hour well spent on some hands on education that can make a big difference to your bottom line!

That Legal Conversation I Wished I Had BEFORE I Turned My Side Hustle Into a FT Business

Makers Business Tribe — Tue, 02 Jul 2024 20:34:00 +0000

Please be aware, this Podcast is for your Information only & does not include any legal advice.

In this week's episode, I have the absolute pleasure to have a chat with our MBT Partner Davina Jones - The Mum Lawyer and got gifted 60 minutes of her invaluable time to have 'That Legal Conversation I Wished I Had BEFORE I Turned My Side Hustle Into a FT Business'. Because if I did, I would have been able to avoid many, many costly mistakes & sleepless nights.

And because it is such a rarity that we...

A. Happen to know a lawyer that we trust and feel like can reach out to without spending copious amounts of money

AND

B. Would even have a clue what to ask & how to ask it,

... I had that conversation for you. And got to talk through the 5x key topics you need to discuss and make some decisions about. (No advice of course, just information to take to a lawyer to have a more informed conversation)

In summary, this is what we spoke about:

Deciding and documenting your company structure - epescially if you have a business partner
Protecting Your Brand: The Significance of Trademarking & IP
Creating Comprehensive Term Sheets for Stockists, when you start putting your product onto shelves
The Importance of Manufacturing Agreements, when you get someone else to make your product for you
And why you might want to work with lawyer vs chat gpt or using templates from the internet

How To Help Your Stockists Sell More Of Your Products

Makers Business Tribe — Tue, 11 Jun 2024 20:33:00 +0000

So you have set up some great partnerships with retailers, they've stocked your product, but when you check in with them to see how sales are going, they tell you the product hasn't moved much yet.

AWWW!!

Well you could just leave this for the retailer to solve OR, do your own little assessment so you can work together as a team, find out the issues and get it fixed turn this relationship into a win/win for both of you.

In today's episode, we are taking a look at the key steps you can take

in order to find the key reasons as to why your products might not be selling YET,
and what you can do to address them!

Here is your diagnose check list:

Audience - Do your customers shop at this store?
Position & display - Is a customer able to easily find your product or is it hidden/ positioned out of sight
Sales - How good is the staff sales conversation with a customer? Can they confidently guide a customer to a sale?
Customer education - Is your product self explanatory or does it need further information for the customer to say yes & make the purchase?
Product testing - Can a customer test the product? Would it help for them to make a choice?
Pricing - How is your product priced vs others in your category?
Signage - What is the signage like to draw attention, educate & help customers to choose your product over others?

Consignment - What to consider before you just hand over your products for free

Makers Business Tribe — Tue, 04 Jun 2024 20:36:00 +0000

In today's episode, I am delving deep into the topic of Consignment - aka 'Handing over your product for free and getting paid once the stockist has sold your product'.

Quite a few of our Tribe members have been either been approached by stockists or been toying with the idea of offering their products for consigment first in the hopes to get a foot in the door and once sales grow, switch over to a buy first then resell model later.

BUT! Before just jumping in, you want to thingk through & carefully understand:

What are the risks?
What are the opportunities?
What does it mean for the business from a cash flow perspective?
and What do I need to put in place to protect myself in case anything goes wrong?

Let's dive in and unpack this!!

5x Key Questions to Ask Your Accountant Before Getting into Retail

Makers Business Tribe — Tue, 28 May 2024 20:31:00 +0000

In today's episode I am chatting to one of my most trusted advisors when it comes to growing my business, my Accountant, Richard Dawson from Paterson & Dawson Accounting.

Richard has not only helped me avoid some pretty costly mistakes but most importantly helped me greatly to set up my business right from the start. So I have minimal admin, always know where my business is at and be rest assured, one tax time comes around the corner, I have it easy to get it all done and am not getting hit with a crazy tax bill. But get money back instead - yey.

To make sure, you get to have the same 'happy money' experience and don't have to sweat over the accounting part of business, I asked Richard 5x key questions that we both felt are absolutely crucial to chat your accountant about, ideally BEFORE you launch your product to the world.

Should I start as a sole trader or set up a company
What if I am still employed?
Should I charge gst & when is the right time?
Do I need an accountant and if so what should I look for
What else should I consider during my first year of trading so come tax time - everything will be smooth sailing?

Enjoy! And make sure to take notes :)
