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

I am a happiness coach, and my clients are people who are tired of living a mediocre life and know that there is so much more out there for them in this lifetime.

Tell us about yourself

At the age of 19, I underwent electro-shock therapy as a last-ditch effort to battle a depression that had left me exhausted and suicidal. But that depression lingered for decades until one fateful evening. I was stirring a pot on the stove, and my baby, who was about a year old, picked up the play bowl and spoon she was banging on the kitchen floor, looked up at me with her big brown eyes, and started mimicking my stirring. I almost fainted on top of my baby because I suddenly realized she was copying my every move, and I was teaching her how to live a very depressed, lonely, and unfulfilling life. I made the decision right next to her on that kitchen floor that I was going to learn everything there was about happiness for the sake of both of us and our respective futures.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Being an entrepreneur and balancing many different areas of interest.

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

Making time to take really good care of myself. I am obsessed with my work and love it, so sometimes I forget that I need my own attention as well.

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

  1. Know yourself.
  2. Be honest with yourself.
  3. Be relentless.
