We had the good fortune of connecting with Natalie Delatorre and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Natalie, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
As a small business owner, marketing your brand and yourself is a very important aspect to growing your business into being a successful endeavor. For my business my brand is Self Love and friendship I love for my customers to be returning customers and to trust me with their special day. My prayer, faith, and believing in God is what got me this far. Then comes determination and dedication to my craft. Also, the confidence that you have, needs to be instilled within you. Being consistent is the key.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am a small business owner of Charlee’s Rentals & More … We rent out party machines such as, Margarita Machines, Popcorn Machines, Cotton Candy Machines, Snow Cone Machines, Champagne Carts…. I am like no ordinary company. I bring sparkle and love to my business. I always try to decorate according to your theme and I will go above and beyond for my clients without even asking. I was very excited the first year I started I was blessed to service a former Dallas Cowboy Player Randy Gregory. It was a pleasure to be apart of there party and he was very humble and welcomed us and invited us in his house and made us feel like we were apart of the team. I worked very hard getting to where I am today. It’s not easy getting up doing your own marketing, promoting yourself, being your own boss and pushing yourself. I tell people it’s very well worth it once you accomplish your goals. It’s not easy in this industry with all the competition….. you just have to build relationship with your client and assure them you will meet all there needs. I’ve learned many lessons along these years. You have good days and bad days but NEVER give up what you are trying to build. I would want the world to know that I will always go above and beyond for my business and my clients and I would always give back to the community every chance I get. I am just happy I can give back when I can.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I have been living in Dallas, Tx my whole life…… I enjoy spending time with my friends and family we typically will go have dinner or drinks in Addison (Vidora) or Downtown and enjoy the scenery of Dallas. I love shopping 🛍️ and buying shoes with my significant other. We typically have movie nights, go out to eat on Saturdays and go to Sam Moon and go buy jewelry and little accessories. My friends and I also enjoy celebrating holidays together and spending quality time. We will celebrate Galentines this year together and make memories.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to begin with my children….. They are my motivation and the reason I decided to build a brand for them. I didn’t want them to go through what I went through in life. I always wanted better for my children. When Covid hit and I got fired I was living on unemployment and struggling living paycheck to paycheck. When I saved my stimulus checks and saved money I got on Facebook one day and saw people inquiring about margarita machines, popcorn machines etc…. I decided to invest in myself and try the entrepreneur life….. I started off with 2 machines and promoted myself every day. Little by little I expanded my small business and kept investing in myself. I am super proud of all my accomplishments‼️ I thank my friends and family who always supported me and shared my statuses and used us to make there party pop‼️‼️‼️
