Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health & wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dee DiFatta, Founder of A Dose of PositiviDee, located in Ludlow, MA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
A Dose of PositiviDee is a catalyst for healing. I hold a safe space for women leaders, healers, and coaches diagnosed with an autoimmune disease to explore the root of their pain so they can break the cycle of self-suffering. As an observer, I help women see past labels and limitations and get curious about different possibilities.
Tell us about yourself
Being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 29 years ago, I couldn't stand the stigma, shame, and negativity surrounding this dis-ease. I searched for role models who could help me see and appreciate MS from a more positive perspective, but they did not exist.
About five years ago, I decided to fill this void and share my stories to motivate, encourage, and inspire other women to live their best lives despite their diagnoses. It lights me up inside when I receive feedback that by sharing my vulnerability, I have given someone else hope of healing.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Writing "Your Daily Dose of PositiviDee" was a monumental accomplishment. I am genuinely grateful to be a published author, awakening readers with awareness. This book of 365 inspirational quotes is a fantastic starting point for any transformational journey. It inspires readers to see life differently and get excited about unlimited opportunities.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Being a business owner brings up a lot of limiting beliefs and self-doubts. Your inner critic is working overtime because she can't seem to process all the new things you are doing. Sometimes you have to step back, slow down and work through these stories before you can keep moving forward. It can be super challenging for an entrepreneur to stop and sit with old emotions looking to be acknowledged so they can let go and be in the flow with their true potential.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Hire a Life Coach to make peace with your past so old issues don't show up and sabotage your progress.
- Be true to yourself. Do not try to be like anyone else. Be proud of your uniqueness and show up as you are.
- Pay attention to your insights and divine guidance. The answers you seek are within you. No one knows who you are and what you want more than you do.
