Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Craig Feldman, Director of Smilist Dental, located in New York, NY, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am an Orthodontist. My customers are patients interested in straightening their teeth.
Tell us about yourself
My dad is an orthodontist, and he provided the inspiration. I’m motivated by creating great smiles for my patients but also by building a strong orthodontic presence within the company I help run.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Growing both my orthodontic practice, which I started from no practice in 2015, to a large practice now, which includes eight additional orthodontists who all work under my leadership.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Making choices that affect others and trying to deliver excellence as we have grown as a company.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Have a vision of what you want to accomplish.
- Executing that vision with relentless effort and work.
- Listening to others, observing aspects that work and don’t work, and learning from your mistakes.
