Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey by launching a wellness business but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Annie Gaudreault, founder of VEEV Health & Wellness based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I get driven women at midlife and beyond to raise their energy and lose weight to gain the confidence needed to do what they want to do.
Tell us about yourself
I changed careers in my 40's to do work that aligned with my values. I get to transform women's lives - this is an honor and a true privilege. Getting older is an opportunity to live according to what we want and genuinely have our best life.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Working through my fears every day and showing up to serve women.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
You get to do it all, and not all are fun. Everyone has their comfort zones, but so much of business is not innate. It is acquired skills, so we have to continue to learn and be ready to fail. And then start again.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Get a coach; surround yourself with positive people; be consistent.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Being an entrepreneur is a huge privilege, but it is also hard work. So pick carefully, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
