Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with TJ Woodward, Founder and CEO of Conscious Recovery, located in Marina Del Rey, CA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Conscious Recovery is a groundbreaking and effective approach to viewing and treating addiction. We are changing the conversation about addiction because we recognize that underneath all addictive behavior is an essential self that is whole and perfect. Our customers are treatment programs, clinicians in private practice, and individuals in recovery.
Tell us about yourself
I've been working in the addiction treatment field for 15 years, and I immediately saw a need for a new way to view and treat addiction and mental health issues. I created Conscious Recovery in 2017 to offer a different approach, one that focuses on the inherent wholeness in people rather than looking at people with addiction as damaged or broken.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
The biggest accomplishment in starting Conscious Recovery is actually quite simple. It is knowing that we are helping people break the cycle of addiction and remember the truth of who and what they are. I could list a lot of accomplishments, but the only one that really matters is knowing we are truly helping people heal.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
I think the hardest part of growing Conscious Recovery is delivering a concise message to treatment providers that will help them understand exactly how we can assist them in growing their programs and help more people actually heal.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
To me, the three most important aspects or qualities required in starting, growing, and maintaining a business are:
- Tenacity
