Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jacklyn Purvis, co-founder of Be Do Have Movement, based in Toronto, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We are the Be Do Have Movement, a High-Performance Coaching Company helping entrepreneurs and independent contractors master their mindset to grow their business. Change is possible; sometimes, it just takes a little bit of guidance and courage to get there.
Tell us about yourself
I started working in advertising feeling completely disconnected from myself, burnt out, and truly unhappy. It's draining to work so hard for something that you don't have an emotional connection to. I saw an opportunity to partner with my dad Jamie Purvis to create the Be Do Have Movement. On the sole mission of helping people have the courage to make their dreams possible. Because no one should have to settle for a life or career that they aren't happy with. My motivation truly comes from within; when you connect your WHY into your dreams, your goals, and your daily tasks, you will be surprised at how easily and effortlessly your inner drive expands.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment isn't just achieving a 6 figure business in the first year. It isn't just creating my first online course. Those are huge accomplishments, yet my biggest win comes from our clients, seeing them pursue their passions and step into their potential. There is no greater achievement than knowing you created a ripple effect of positive change in someone else's life.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Without a doubt, it's the inner stuff, imposture syndrome, doubt, and mindset. As a business owner, you wear every hat; you are operations, sales, marketing, customer service - everything at once. Learning to navigate your time while managing your mindset is a constant balancing act.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
My top 3 tips for anyone getting into business are:
- Lead with your heart; your business starts with you, so get clear on why you are doing what you do and focus on creating the right attitude and belief in yourself to get there.
- Build a plan of action for your business, so you know what direction you are headed and what milestones need to be achieved in the process.
- Just start with the best next step. It's easy to get caught up in the strategy without any execution. Mistakes will be your greatest lessons, and as long as you persist to step forward, you can achieve the results you want.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Building your business is the most exciting and fulfilling process; it will feel like it's your life. So always remember to stay present in the moment and focus on maintaining balance, so you don't hit burnout. You are enough, and you do have what it takes. So, reject the idea of perfection and stay focused on your best next step. One day at a time, one dream at a time, your goals of building your business are possible. And if you need some help along the way, the Be Do Have Movement is here to support you.
