Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Beth Smit, Founder of Better Health By Beth, located in Fort Mill, SC, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am an Integrative Health Practitioner and online functional medicine health coach. I help overwhelmed and exhausted women find the root cause of their imbalances.
Tell us about yourself
I became an Integrative Health Practitioner because of my own health journey. I was exhausted, gaining weight daily, completely overwhelmed, and didn't recognize myself anymore. When I discovered functional medicine, I slowly regained my energy and confidence and discovered my passion for helping other women in the same situation. Helping women gain energy and rediscover their confidence is the why behind my business.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is the community I have created. When I started Better Health By Beth, I didn't have a network of women that knew about my business. I have worked hard to create an online community, along with building relationships in my city with other like-minded practitioners. I'm so proud of the women I have been able to help through this community.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The hardest thing I found about business ownership, which I was completely unprepared for, is how lonely business ownership can be. The days are long, and many ups and downs come with running your own business.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Hire a mentor. Find someone in your chosen field who is successful and willing to mentor you. They know what works, so learn from them instead of doing it all on your own.
- Show up every day and do something to grow your business, no matter how small the task.
- Build relationships with other business owners. This helps with the loneliness and gives you someone to share the ups and downs with. The relationships I have built with other business owners have been one of the best parts of growing my own business.
