Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Lamura Poore, Owner of Diet To Lifestyle LLC., located in Peachtree City, GA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Diet To Lifestyle LLC is a nutrition consulting company with knowledgeable registered and licensed dietitians who work with children and adults on improving or maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We also stress the importance of education. We are now an ACEND accredited dietetic internship program and will start accepting students in January 2023. We are also in the process of acquiring a company that will allow other healthcare professionals in the area to connect with each other.

Tell us about yourself

I noticed a need for healthy eating habits in my family and wanted to help my family members. I went to Marshall University and graduated with a B.S in nutrition and dietetics. I worked at the hospital where I completed my dietetic internship and soon became the internship director, and that is where I knew I was supposed to teach the next generation. My motivation is seeing the new interns become effective dietitians that want to make a difference in someone's eating habits.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is having an accredited dietetic internship attached to my business. Also, being able to acquire another business that will allow other healthcare professionals to connect in the area.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

The hardest thing is client retention and participation. We accept insurance, and it is always hard to get paid by the insurance companies. It is so hard to turn down a client that needs so much help.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Do your research.
  2. Know your product or service.
  3. Be ready to invest even if you are not making money.
