Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jenn Christine, CEO of Be Slim Bariatrics, located in Roseville, CA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am in the business of saving lives. No Really! I own Be Slim Bariatrics, a weight loss surgery facility that takes on a holistic approach to our patient's weight loss journey. Our team is passionate and dedicated to helping our patients through their weight loss journey from start to finish. We change lives; we not only help people lose weight, but we help them to get rid of obesity-related illnesses. This is huge!
Tell us about yourself
Many years ago, I discovered bariatrics while working for a weight loss surgery facility. I've helped thousands of frustrated people, who had almost given up, become slimmer and healthier, and most importantly, a happier version of themselves. I have seen firsthand people who tried and failed countless diet plans and exercise programs one after another now reclaim their lives, health, self-esteem, and bodies within mere months after weight loss surgery.
Sadly, these surgeries are often not covered by insurance or are just too expensive for the average person to afford. But it does not have to be this way! Be Slim Bariatrics' has created affordable and safe weight loss surgery packages with the patient in mind! Providing this great option has allowed me to watch people's lives transform right before my eyes.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is that I have grown my startup to 4 million + in gross sales in the first year alone. This was a huge accomplishment for me.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
I find it very difficult to keep a personal and business schedule for myself. You have to be organized and use tools to keep your schedule and prioritize that schedule. You need balance; work/life balance is so important and so hard to have in the building stage.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
The top three things that got my business where it is today believe in myself, building out my team, and integrating systems. I feel these three things are so important in any business.
