Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Kelly Elliott, Founder of Free Your Life, located in Richmond Hill, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a transformational coach, therapist, certified advanced EFT practitioner, and author. I use simple, clinically proven techniques to help people feel better and easily transform their lives by releasing stress, anxiety, and subconscious beliefs that keep them feeling unhappy and stuck in unwanted patterns. My clients come from all walks of life. These methods can be used to improve any area of a person's life, whether it be success, love, happiness, self-esteem, health, wealth, or even weight loss.
Tell us about yourself
I first got started in this field of work after a personal emotional crisis, and I discovered the amazing power of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). I was a chemistry teacher at the time, and the thought of having my own business wasn't even on my radar, but as my interest grew in EFT, I made it my mission to help and teach others how they, too, could easily transform their lives in ways they never imagined. That's how Free Your Life began.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment has been making the transition from a stable 9 to 5 job to a thriving business owner and doing this all without the typical grind and focus on advertising and social media presence. I spent almost all my time focusing on my skills and became one of the best at what I do. My business took off through word of mouth, and I have an endless list of clients that keep me busy.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The hardest thing about being a business owner, in the beginning, was dealing with the fears of where will the money come from, or in my case, where will the clients come from. I used my own techniques to release these fears and subconscious limiting beliefs, and my confidence grew, and the people showed up.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
If anyone is looking to start a business, I would definitely tell them to do something they are passionate about and don't worry about all the details along the way. Just take one step at a time while visualizing the big picture at the end, a thriving, successful business.
