Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jacquie Smith, Founder of Little Adapts By Jax, located in Nashville, TN, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Little Adapts By Jax is holistic nutrition, fitness, and wellness coaching business. I am a certified integrative nutrition health coach from IIN and a fitness instructor specializing in barre, yoga, and pre/postnatal workouts. My philosophy of "little adapts" allows my clients to gradually instill small, positive changes to create a sustainable lifestyle through a mostly plant-based diet, daily movement, and mental wellness. These small changes are how my clients (busy women, brides, mamas, and mamas-to-be) ultimately transform their lives.
Tell us about yourself
I found my passion for health and wellness in 2013 when I started experimenting with natural foods and remedies in order to heal myself from cystic acne, horrible digestion, and overall exhaustion caused by stress and corporate travel. As a result, I wanted to share the power of food to heal + nourish the mind + body with others. In 2016, Little Adapts By Jax Ltd (http://www.littleadaptsbyjax.com) was born to help women with busy lifestyles who want to create change by incorporating healthy "little adapts." I know my philosophy works because it changed my life, and I'm so excited to help other women do the same.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment was launching the Little Adapts By Jax App in December 2021. I'm so grateful that I have a platform where I get to share my workouts (barre, yoga, cardio, pre/postnatal), nutrition hacks, cookbooks, and stress management tools in an easy and convenient way.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
While you have complete autonomy over your schedule and your business, it can be a lot when it's just you that's responsible for getting everything done. Being a business owner is not for the faint of heart, but I wouldn't change it for a thing.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Believe in yourself no matter what.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help.
- Focus on the things daily that light you up.
