Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Nitan Arora, founder of Arora Family Chiropractic, located in Winnipeg, MB, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We are a chiropractic clinic that also offers physiotherapy, athletic therapy, mindfulness classes, and other modalities to help people with their aches and pains. Our goal is to provide patients with care with a complete array of options.
Tell us about yourself
I've always wanted to work for myself and have my own business. I enjoy the autonomy and the ability to operate how I want and balance it with my personal life. My motivation comes from the daily dynamics I see - nothing is the same from one day to the next. In business, expect the unexpected.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My personal accomplishment with respect to this clinic is we've built a fantastic team of practitioners and staff who care for each other and for the well-being of all our patients!
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
One of the toughest things as a business owner over these past two years has been dealing with the pandemic. We are constantly changing the clinic protocols to ensure safety for all patients and staff. And we are constantly adapting to the preferences and sensitivities of patients since everybody has their own personal opinion on COVID. Additionally, it has been challenging having last-minute cancellations or appointment rescheduling due to patients having symptoms or being near loved ones with symptoms.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Find an area or industry that is "natural" to you and something you see yourself enjoying. Only then can you "flow" when you work.
- Don't get ahead of yourself. We all have dreams and goals, but it takes work, dedication, and time to get there.
- Grow tall, not wide. Get really good at what you do before adding other services or products that sound good on paper.
