Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jenny Harkleroad, owner of Balanced You, located in Escondido, CA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Women hire me to help them program their minds for success. I help women who are unhappy, unfulfilled, and in physical or emotional pain to break free from their struggles and create their best lives using the power of their minds and the scientific transformation process I created. I also teach people how to do my work to help themselves and others. I help people change their brains with their minds!

Tell us about yourself

I was a top producer in real estate for 13 years, and then in 2013, I broke my back in a hiking accident. For almost three years, I could not function, which gave me a lot of thinking time. I wanted to solve my problems, chronic physical pain, pain pill addiction, unhappy marriage, bad temper, low self-esteem, and the list goes on. After about three years, the doctors said I'd never get better. That's when I hired a medical doctor to teach me how to heal myself with the power of my mind. It worked; I was headed in every area of my life and became obsessed with the power of my mind. I sold my real estate business and my big house and started studying the science of transformation.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

In real estate, I was producing double digits in the millions in sales which provided a great lifestyle. In my transformation business, I created my own transformation process that has been proven by scientific studies to change the brain and, therefore, change the printout of people's lives. I see miracles in my office daily, from physical to emotional to relational to financial transformations. I'm obsessed with the power of the mind.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

I tend to work too much because I'm so passionate about what I do. I have to make myself stop in the evenings even when I don't want to. Also, in this business, it's unique; people don't usually come looking for me. I have to go find them.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Find what you are passionate about.
  2. Make sure it's something people want to buy.
  3. Join a great organization like eWomenNetwork, where you can learn how to grow your business without going into debt and spending a fortune to learn. (I am the managing director of eWomenNetwork San Diego.)

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

You can do ANYTHING when you tap into the power of your mind. The sky is the limit! Live your best life. It's waiting for you!
