Learning to let go + NDAs + Packaging Suppliers

​​​La Onda is a newsletter by Sandra Velasquez, founder of Nopalera, with actionable insights around brand building and selling.

​Hi Founders,

This past Monday I announced the end of Mentor Mondays on the Nopalera IG channel.
Thanks for all of you that attended and submitted questions.

I'm taking the party over to The Nopalera Podcast launching next month! I'm excited to continue to share resources and have transparent conversations with other entrepreneurs.
The trailer is actually live on Spotify now! Go ahead and subscribe so you don't miss an episode. I haven't even announced this to the Nopalera email list! Lucky you:)

​Looking for more packaging suppliers? One of my favorite resources is the Beauty Independent Uplink Connect Database. Check it out: here

Feel free to hit up my packaging printers: Integrated Packaging. They are just printers, FYI, you still need to have a designer. One designer I like to recommend is: Wagon Design Studio.

​When engaging with Co-packers, you want to make sure you both sign an NDA prior to handing over any of your formulas. If you aren't going to have a lawyer draft one up due to cost, you can always look into online resources like : this one, or this one.

​Getting a business off the ground takes a lot of time. Literal hours in the day!
I want to recap the advice I gave on the Mentor Monday Live: stop trying to do everything at home and it your business! You will burn out and that helps nobody.

I outsourced my laundry, cleaning, and meal delivery. The amount of time I save by NOT doing these things gives me more time to focus on generating revenue for my business!

​I can't wait for the Margin Magic Masterclass this Sunday!
Are you coming?

​I used to hate math, ya'll. Now it's my favorite subject and I love to give other entrepreneurs clarity about COGS and Margins!
