Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Nikita Thakrar, Owner of Journey with Nikita, located in Slough, Berkshire, United Kingdom.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I run a Dance and Yoga Studio primarily for children, teenagers, and adults.
Tell us about yourself
I began as a professional dancer and started to find that I was offering my students much more than just dance. I was helping them to better themselves and develop their personalities. So I then decided to go into coaching and mentoring.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Launching my own dance and yoga studio, purpose-built premises.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Selling myself! I find it very challenging to promote myself, but thankfully now I have enough reviews and materials which do that for me.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Choose something you are passionate about.
- Don't be in a hurry to make money. It can take 3-5 years to take off.
- Have a clear business plan, and if possible, hire a coach/consultant to help you with this.
