In today's chit chat grwm, I speak of the 2 incidents with 2 business owners that copied my lip care brand, Audacity Cosmetics. 1 who I have already mentioned on my tiktok, and the other who shall not be named for the reasons mentioned in my video. It is very unfortunate that not only myself but many small businesses are taken advantage of by others who feel the need to use our hard work as a tactic to move up..
I don't always get personal on my platform, but it's 2023 and its about damn time I discontinue being hesitant about speaking my truth with all of you, my supporters. I love you all for sticking by me, and for being my biggest motivators! I hope sharing my experiences running my brand help you, and guide you!

People who get a high off of copying someone else’s business to succeed will never really know the value of true success. Your business is gonna thrive because it’s authentic to YOU! Can’t wait to see where your business goes 💖

Looking into this.. things happen to us business owners for us to learn, grow and for us to learn and help others not go through it and ourselves as well. This is insane I’ve had this happen similar to me. People will copy your ideas and what you have done nothing original

As a small business owner myself, I’ve had a person (stalker) who has literally copied my every move for 10 years. I sympathize for exactly how you feel because we work hard for what we’ve built for ourselves brand wise and people ride the tails of our hard work and passion. I wish you the best, your brand is amazing and I love your inspirational content. I learn so much from you. 💋

I think is good important for all business owners to use their logo in their packaging because it builds more trust and they will always people stealing things from other business owner.

Hey, I absolutely love you and have been also considering starting my own business but I need to further develop my own style. But I have you to thank for that 💓 So I wanted to extend a thought about this, you do have every right to be upset HOWEVER- I think you’re so upset about this because you have this desire to stand up for yourself and you have been letting it slide. She’s doing the wrong thing, she is being disingenuous with her apology and continuing to walk YOUR path, and you continue to be angry because you know what you know and you are being too nice about it. I think the best course of action is coming through for yourself here. Send her a message and just say: 1- I deserve a public apology given you copied my entire brand and still continue to, as well as reap the rewards for your ideas (send her receipts supporting that point of view) 2- ask her: what are you so happy about with my response? I didnt say I forgave you, I was being polite, stop presuming things of me. (So set your boundaries up properly with this person) 3. Maybe throw some copyright laws at her, and the fact you haven’t exposed her and you think that’s very immature (it isn’t at this point) so that is why you’re giving her the chance to speak publicly on this issue. Maybe ask her thoughts on that as well. (Send more proof to support your thoughts) 4. Send her the link to this video. As well as saying that you have been hurt for too long by her continued behaviour. 5. Offer her an out if she isn’t brave enough to go public with the apology. Eg: Leave your brand alone altogether, don’t follow your socials, keep your ideas out of her eyes ect., ^ this may sound harsh but you deserve to count on yourself here and I truly believe you feel like you can’t because there’s this continuous test and it’s in the form of this person ripping you off and you’re trying to handle it with grace. Boundaries are also acceptable and I think you deserve them.

Hey ! So frustrating to hear all of this! I’m just starting out but I can imagine what that must feel like! I do have a question though. I am genuinely curious about this: why was it wrong that she copied like the lipgloss colors? Because I am using your colors for inspo but I’m not sure why that’s not ethical…can you please explain? Also, I want to add that I want to make my brand as original as possible like with ingredients, branding, everything. It’s just those colors are so nice!

Should my small cosmetic ecommerce business be copyrighted or trademarked? I don't want other people to have my exact brand design and whatnot. Can you do a video about the legal stuff like this or respond to this comment please? I want to have rights and stay safe legally. Please help and thank you!

Yes you should get trademarks, copyrights and patents on your intellectual property. People wonder why their brands get copied because they don’t think of that until it’s too late.

@@naniiplanet I think you should save up for the rights now before you tell people your ideas because someone can take your idea and potentially use it to become successful before you. Me personally I don’t tell anyone what my brand name is going to be or my innovative ideas because I don’t have the rights to them yet. Now a days small brands copy each other because they lack innovation and creativity to come up with their own ideas. Just be careful
