Stellar Outcomes - Brandi Hooker Evans
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal and business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Brandi Hooker Evans, Owner of Stellar Outcomes, LLC., located in Pocatello, ID, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Hey, y’all! Brandi Hooker Evans here. I am an experienced team trainer, motivational speaker, and engaging continuing education provider. I have been a clinical dental hygienist since 2007. Using my master’s degree in health education as well as specialized adult learning tactics to help dentists and their teams achieve their highest potential as professionals are my jam. My training approach is encouraging and efficient, and I like to think my enthusiasm is contagious! My customers are dentists and their teams. With the Stellar Coaching program, they swiftly adopt the skillsets and mindsets needed to achieve healthy patients and practices, all while being healthy providers!
Tell us about yourself
Clinical dentistry is exhausting. Between being on repeat with patient conversations and schedules stacked to support disease for all parties involved, the clinic can suck the life out of anyone. The good news? The clinic can be fun, rewarding, and refueling. I have found an easy-to-implement, repeatable system that supports the patients, providers, and practices. Sharing this program ignites the drive and delight inside of me. I enjoy every opportunity I get to share with other professionals.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I am most proud of serving with a genuine heart. No matter what offers have come my way, I have remained true to my core values. I love that my colleagues know that they will receive wholehearted, transparent service when they work with me.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
It is a lonely island with no way to clock out! If work needs to be done, it is all on you. If something fails or fizzles: you. Too much on the schedule? You. Not enough to pay the bills? Still you. The risk and effort are exponentially larger than being an employee for someone else. All that said, I would not trade it for anything. The rewards are also exponentially more fulfilling than the alternative.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Value progress over perfection.
- Hire out for the tasks that you aren’t suited to do.
- Start now! Make a to-do list and take one step at a time to make your dream happen.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
How to have a great year and stay well while starting and running a business:
- Write it. Every day— Gratitude. No matter what is happening in our personal world, there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for. Research shows that being mindful about what we appreciate and writing it down improves perspective and sense of happiness and increases our immune system’s strength.
- Move it. Every day– Movement. From spandex and Jane Fonda to wiggling around in your desk chair when no one is looking, we need movement for health and happiness. If you feel embarrassed about looking like a goober while wiggling in your chair, call me, and I will wiggle with you!
- Sing it. Every day—Music. Play music you love. Find lyrics that really mean something to you and belt them out at full volume! Pro tip: Move and sing in your car at the same time! I have been known to be reliving the glory days at stoplights while belting Nellyville at the top of my lungs and dancing behind the wheel. Geek or pro? Call me what you want, and I will answer both.
