Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Amy Nubson, Founder of Rebrand You, located in Burnsville, MN, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is called Rebrand You Coaching. I work with individuals and business owners to get through the challenges and hurdles of life and business ownership by using a method that embraces my 3C's: Clarity, Courage, and Confidence. The goal is to see the clarity of their beliefs, cycles, and personality to give them the courage to act over fear, find their voice, and grow into confident person who has a powerful impact on their own lives and businesses.
Tell us about yourself
After a medical disaster in my own life that almost destroyed my business and nearly caused me to lose everything important to me, I started assessing my life. I had to step out of my fear to step into my leadership, my truth, and put myself forward. During my self-healing, the process I call my 3C's was created. Implementing these 3C's into my life; I was able to get out of medical debt, repair my relationship with my husband and find my voice. I discovered my calling was to help others find their power, craft power statements, and guide others to find what in life truly fulfills them.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Understanding who I am and what I want. I know it sounds selfish or easy, but that's not the case. I love to support others; it's natural for me. So, putting my health and needs first was something I had to learn. My business thrives when I live within my 3Cs. I have a morning self-care routine that reduces my stress, allows me to create solutions easier, and be present in the moment, so I can assist my coaching clients by helping them discover what matters to them. It is no longer about me; now, it can be completely about them because I've nourished myself.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
One of the hardest parts of being a business owner is staying focused. I describe myself as a squirrel who is always attracted to the next shiny object and the easiest path. Especially when things are hard or scary. Prior to Rebrand You, I owned and ran a marketing company that had to evolve so many times just to stay relevant. What I learned is I need to stay true to myself and what matters to me. Then I can implement a strategy/plan that I'm likely to follow, keeping me focused with clarity. I know I have the courage and strength to live life even if I'm scared. I have the confidence to live my life fully and am proud of who I am.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Develop your voice and the voice of your business. When you start, you are its greatest asset. Leading with passion and clarity will be important to all areas of your business. Lead and promote using stories to create your brand.
- Do what you love and learn the communication needed to have others do the work you are not good at or don't love doing. Vet your team/vendors carefully to make sure you are working with people who share the same values you have. If they don't, let them go quickly.
- Understand your finances and how it impacts your business.
