Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Tessa Sebro, owner of Serenity Seven Yoga & Pilates, located in Durham, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Serenity Seven Yoga and Pilates provides individual coaching, small group classes, and wellness education to help participants handle life's many challenges.
Tell us about yourself
I first began practicing yoga after sustaining a back injury in a car accident. It helped tremendously with my recovery. After several years of personal practice, I was encouraged by friends and family to pursue a teaching certification and share my practice with others. Out of that experience, Serenity Seven Yoga and Pilates was born. I enjoy being able to provide participants with mental, physical, and spiritual tools to face their individual experiences with perspective and balance.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
As a business owner, my biggest accomplishment has come from knowing that I can help others while doing something that I love. Teaching and coaching is a reciprocal experience in which helping others to heal brings healing to me.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things that comes with business ownership is marketing and sales. In a business that's meant to help people look inward, the outward-facing nature of sales seems counterintuitive, but it's necessary in order to bring awareness to much-needed services and to make them accessible.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Figure out what you really enjoy, find your passion.
- Consult with others who have done what you're trying to do.
- Believe in yourself.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Great ideas can only begin to take shape when we take action. Each of us has a unique contribution to make in this world. Only we can deliver our particular gift in our individual way.
