Tell us about yourself
I am Maya McNulty, a Patient Led Researcher, Walking Warrior from Niskayuna, NY. I am the Founder of Covid Wellness, LLC., CEO of UpTheBiz Marketing & Branding Agency, Author, & Podcaster. I am an inspirational warrior who has worked with thousands of people for more than two decades, creating opportunities for entrepreneurs as one of America's most respected business branding strategists, marketers, and international speakers.
I battled the coronavirus in March 2020. One of the first young females infected was hospitalized for 69 days in a 30-day medically induced coma and on a ventilator for six weeks. I was clinically diagnosed as a Covid long-hauler in September 2020. I had to re-learn how to walk, talk, and eat normally. I lost my hair and voice and am still recovering steadily. I was hospitalized with a second bout of COVID, the sub-variant Omicron BA.5, on September 2, 2022, for nine days.
I started the Covid Wellness Clinic Online Care Program to help long-haulers from the comfort of their homes. I have also formed Walking Warrior, LLC. The Foundation helps to support Covid -19 survivors and their families with advocacy, recovery support, and guidance.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest business accomplishment is being published in WebMD.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things about navigating Long Covid as a patient and patient-led researcher is that science and treatments are not bulletproof. The data and technology are always updating. The Covid wildcard variants and sub-variants have stumped the medical community globally.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
The top 3 tips I would share with anyone who is looking to start a business today are:
- Find A Mentor.
- Don't give up.
- Read books, journals, and articles in your field of interest.
Bonus: Start your own support or Network Group
