Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Aveen Bannon, Founder and Owner of dublin nutrition centre, located in Dublin 2, Dublin, Ireland.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
It is a private nutrition and dietetic clinic where we see patients one-on-one, do webinars and nutrition talks and offer consultancy to food companies too.
Tell us about yourself
I am a dietitian who left the hospital and set up the dublin nutrition centre 20 years ago, and I am passionate about what I do. I love empowering and helping people to eat well and learn to love food!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Seeing people get better and repairing their relationship with food. Getting to work with like-minded dietitians who share the same passion. Knowing that the business is helping people.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Managing a business, the day-to-day administration that can eat up so much time!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Be patient - it takes time. Don't rush it, but if you put the work in, it will grow.
- Listen - listen to your clients and those you work with and learn. We can always learn from others.
- Have a cutoff time - switch off from emails/ work at a certain time each day; otherwise, it can become all-consuming. When it is your own business, it can be hard not to feel like you should be working every minute.
