When you feel overwhelmed, it's easy to focus on the past: What went wrong? How did that happen to me? Lisa Price, founder of multimillion-dollar beauty products brand Carol's Daughter, has a suggestion.
"You have to lean into 'What do I do now? What's the next step?'" Price said on Friday, during an exclusive
Inc.
Your Next Move virtual event. "Focusing on what's wrong doesn't help you get to what's right." Price has weathered countless ups and downs since launching Carol's Daughter from her home kitchen in 1993, from opening her first storefront in 1999 to selling her company to cosmetics giant L'Oreal in 2014 for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition came roughly a month after Carol's Daughter's retail arm emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
