Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dr. Miriam Mandel, Founder of Exhale With Me, located in Gates Mills, OH, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I have a health and life coaching business for adolescents. I also do professional development for teachers K-12 and parent workshop series on various topics that include wellness. My focus of interest is the "Teenage Brain," how to sleep, and various drugs, including vaping, marijuana, and other dopamine-stimulating products, that affect the young brain's development.
Tell us about yourself
I first started in this field after leaving conventional medicine about 13 years ago. I realized that western medicine in chronic care was mostly just applying band-aids and giving pills. I wanted to help on a deeper level and help prevent some of the typical and not-so-typical things I was seeing.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Breaking away from medicine and taking a chance to do something individually that I had never heard of anyone else doing.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The ebb and flow, ups and downs, and times of feast and famine.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Plan for the slow seasons.
- Trust yourself and your product or service.
- Don't talk about what you plan to do with many others until it's launched!
