Founders Lorraine Clark and Sam Day are celebrating the third anniversary of their health and wellness brand Hapihemp. The couple met on the school playground and later started their own business to educate others about the benefits of CBD
Entrepreneurs and friends Lorraine Clark and Sam Day, from Peterborough, are celebrating the third anniversary of their health and wellness products company Hapihemp.
The couple created their brand, which specializes in CBD products, after researching the use of CBD and using it individually to help with their own health issues.
Life had been challenging for many years for the two mothers who started talking about CBD in the school yard.
Lorraine had struggled with hormones since puberty and was eventually diagnosed with PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) which led to her having a hysterectomy at age 40 and Sam was debilitated with fibromyalgia, a poorly understood condition that causes pain in the whole body extreme tiredness
Sam was then diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, had to have a lumpectomy, then chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Sam said: “I was scared and wary of CBD because I was uneducated and associated it with illegal Class C drugs. Even when I was educated, I was still too nervous to try it. However, when I did, it transformed my life.”
Within three days of taking CBD, Sam was sleeping better, and after a week, his fibromyalgia pain was reduced and his fatigue and mood improved.
Sam said: “I felt like a new woman and I just knew that more people needed to know that this natural product could help them too.”
Lorraine had already been taking CBD to help with her hormonal imbalance and general well-being and found that the combination of organic essential oils and CBD oil significantly helped her get her life back.
“After many conversations, Sam and I decided we wanted to start a business to make more people aware of the benefits of using CBD as part of their own health and wellness routine,” explained Lorraine.
Today, Hapihemp sells direct to consumers online and also wholesales by working with suppliers such as health food stores, CBD stores, independent health and wellness companies.
Since starting HapiHemp three years ago, Lorraine says she has learned three things about doing business:
1. Always go with your gut…
I wish I had stuck with it, but in an industry that was new to us, it was so easy to doubt yourself. When I was out of my comfort zone in a brand new area, the self-doubt kicked in and I didn’t follow my gut, which was to our detriment.
2. Consistency and frequency are your friend
I find consistency difficult! It’s something I’ve worked really hard on as I believe it’s critical to the people around you and essential to growing a business. Frequency is also important to me, as I find that if I stick with something, it becomes a habit, and you can’t go wrong with good habits to build your business.
3. Accept failure as part of the journey
The CBD industry is competitive with many regulations. It’s the hardest industry I’ve ever worked in. Fortunately, Sam and I get up and work really hard not to dwell on any failures and see them as learning curves.
Sam said he has learned:
1. It’s important to remember why you started
At some point you will want to throw in the towel! When the novelty of starting a business has worn off and times get tough, then get even tougher, for much longer than you ever thought possible and much longer than you anticipated, remind yourself why you started the business it will help you stay motivated and focused.
2. Expect the unexpected
There will be hiccups, obstacles and roadblocks along the way. Don’t let it fool you – where there’s a will, there’s a way! Be willing to adjust and keep coming back with a fresh new way of approaching things.
3. A good business partner is priceless
Like any partnership in life, trust is key! If you’re working with the right person or people, it doesn’t mean it’s always love and laughter. However, if you are building a business with someone who shares your vision, and even better, who is very different from you, always remember to appreciate the qualities and differences of others.
