What's your business, and who are your customers?
I provide in-home, virtual, and outdoor personal fitness training services for men and women of any age. Virtual training can be done from around the world.
Tell us about yourself
I personally went through my own weight loss/fitness journey. After losing over 100 pounds, I started helping others achieve their weight loss/ fitness goals. I started Mindset Fitness and Wellness and am currently certified through NASM with specializations in weight loss, youth exercise, corrective exercise, and performance enhancement. Helping others feel their best is what motivates me each day to train.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I have helped clients change their lifestyles and lose weight. I spoke in front of over 400 high school students and shared my personal journey. I have also had my health/wellness blogs published by The Huffington Post, PopSugar, and other online publications.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Being on top of everything, including providing the service, growing the business, accounting, customer service, and social media.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Be patient.
