What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am in the wellness industry. I call myself an energy worker. Any living being can be my client.
Tell us about yourself
I was born and raised in India. I was initiated at the early age of 5 into spirituality by my guru. So spirituality and personal well-being were at the core right from the beginning. I moved to the USA in 2008. My goal was to teach/practice meditation and Reiki in the US, as I had personally benefited from it a lot and did not need any outside validation or proof.
During the past 20 years of practice, I have helped hundreds to regain health and happiness with these powerful modalities of healing. I am also a certified hypnotherapist. Hypnosis can help with smoking cessation, anxiety and stress, fear and phobias, anger management, abandonment issues, and much more. In addition, I created the Meditation Center Chicago in 2011 to provide support to spiritual seekers and those suffering from stress, anxiety, and pain.
My goal is to empower individuals with a helpful tool that transforms their lives and provides a method for healing. As a certified health coach, I am also able to provide support for weight loss and lifestyle changes. Along with Reiki, I also use craniosacral therapy, breath work, meditation, crystals, pyramids, and magnets to achieve total wellness.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I have discovered certain phenomena and also devised certain strategies to attract and retain clients, which has been working for me perfectly well. My client retention is 90% plus. I have clients who have been with me for the past ten years.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Maintaining the quality standard and delivering results every single time is the key. Keeping the client feel that he got something out of the session is most important.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Trust/faith in self.
- Learn/practice the art of manifestation.
- Honesty, integrity, sincerity towards self and others.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Learn to balance between heart and head. Your head will always give you negatives, whereas your heart will give you the power to move forward. Have a combination of both. Try to convert the fear into caution and use self-love to balance.
