Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in mental wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Cory Chadwick, founder of The Mental Gym, located in Toronto, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Just like people work out their bodies, The Mental Gym is a place to work out your mind. It’s not therapy; it’s mental fitness. Your personal trainer stretches your thinking, teaches new, practical tools, and upgrades your patterns and habits to be a better you and live your best life. We call it Living Your 10 – and on a scale from 1-10, if you feel more like you’re living a 6 or 7 instead of Living Your 10, we can help.
Tell us about yourself
I'm trying to help make the world a better place for my boys to grow up in. We need to take great care of our minds so we can become who we want to be and live our best lives. What better place to do that than in a gym, together with like-minded people?
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Just getting started.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The emotional roller coaster of entrepreneurship.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Just start. It doesn't need to be perfect, and you'll learn so much more by doing than talking about it.
- Believe in yourself even when others don't, and keep going no matter what.
- Have a beginner's attitude. Grit and a growth mindset will be your best friends.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Live Your 10. Because let's face it, on a scale from 1-10, you're not here for a 6 or 7.
