Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dr. Rashmi Schramm, Founder and CEO of Optimal Wellness, located in Ponte Vedra, FL, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am the founder and CEO of Optimal Wellness, which is a coaching and speaking platform. My unique coaching program is supercharged with meditation. I help busy women struggling with overwork to ditch guilt and tap into inner peace and power, so they can live life with more energy and fulfillment.
Tell us about yourself
I'm a board-certified family physician with more than 22 years of practice experience. In my busy practice, I saw the negative impact of chronic stress on my patient's health and my own mind/body health. I came to coaching and meditation as a way to heal myself. When I experienced powerful transformations, I made the decision to start Optimal Wellness as a certified coach and meditation teacher.
I offer group programs and private coaching programs for busy women. I am deeply motivated by the phenomenal results my clients get on a daily basis. It is humbling and rewarding to see how seemingly small shifts can lead to huge transformations in my clients' lives.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner has been my exponential growth in 2022. I was able to quadruple my group impact, offering, and earnings from 2021. I am incredibly proud of being able to pivot from online to in-person and vice versa. I believe we need to constantly be accessing and pivoting to what works best for the business and for our clients.
Whether I am speaking, teaching meditation, or coaching, I serve with an open heart. I believe my vulnerability and integrity are my greatest strengths as I continue to see massive growth in my business. This resonates with my clients.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
One of the biggest challenges of being a business owner is learning how to balance work with rest/play. In the beginning, there is usually more work than play. And trying to stay balanced and consistent is very important and challenging.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- If you've been dreaming of starting your own business, take action today. It can be some small action, just do one small thing every day. Be consistent.
- Upgrade who you spend time with - if you're looking to grow, then intentionally spend time with those who are investing in their personal journeys.
- Begin to get comfortable in discomfort. Your growth is in discomfort.
