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.
