Create Life on Your Own Terms - Country Pathways

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Deborah Chelette-Wilson, Founder of Country Pathways, PLLC, located in Longview, TX, USA.

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

My business includes counseling, life, parent coaching, and an uncommon education on healing childhood trauma. My customers are those who have recognized that staying in denial and ignoring experiences of childhood developmental trauma are getting in the way of designing, manifesting, and living the life they want to live.

Tell us about yourself

I grew up experiencing and witnessing abuse and emotional neglect. Out of my own healing journey, I found healing and a new healthier relationship with myself. Out of that experience, I dedicated my life to sharing what I discovered with those who are willing to do the necessary work so that childhood trauma does not have to be a life sentence and intergenerational trauma can end.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment is that I'm still in business. There have been many ups and downs financially, multiple learning curves to overcome, and the challenges of staying up to date with administrative demands, as well as providing services and writing books.

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

In my business, one of the hardest things is to keep up with changes in rules for my license and governmental requirements on technology that can be used for record keeping.

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

1. Make sure you understand the legal structure of your business and the consequences financially.
2. Understand what technology you will need and, if necessary, get help to understand it.
3. Love what you do because that will see you through difficult times.
