Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Elisabeth Donatella, Founder of Elisabeth Vibes Consultation, located in New York, NY, USA.

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

Elisabeth Vibes Consultation is a professional training and coaching practice based in New York City. I empower women to develop and strengthen self-confidence in their personal lives, careers, and relationships through 1:1 coaching, group coaching, and workshops. Every session includes frameworks, tools, and exercises that will help you embrace yourself, elevate your mind, and evolve to achieve fulfillment and joy.

Tell us about yourself

I deeply love empowering women to feel a deep love with themselves. For years I struggled with self-loathing and low self-esteem - I was constantly at war with myself. All I remember during those challenging years was craving nothing more than to discover more about myself and how to feel at peace with myself. After my breakthrough, I knew I wanted to help others break through, too. What motivates me every day is my passion for serving and supporting others!

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I was able to utilize TikTok as a way to spread love and support and reach over 500,000 people. It was thanks to the platform that I was able to connect with clients and help them learn more about themselves and how to begin the healing process.

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

For me personally, it's operating solo - though owning a business by yourself brings a lot of creative freedom, it can sometimes be lonely. I look forward to the opportunity of partnering and collaborating with others!

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

  1. Start with your why - spend time exploring your values, passions, and beliefs. When starting, running, and growing a business, the most important thing to remember is why you're starting, running, and growing a business. The more you align with your why, the more passionately you'll be able to serve and support your clients/network/community.
  2. Fall in love with the process - there will be days when you can't wait to get out of bed and start work. There will also be days when you can't get yourself out of bed because you know a list of emails and tasks await you. When you fall in love with the process, you learn to keep the momentum and continue pushing forward even when you might not feel like doing the work.
  3. Celebrate yourself along the way - just as in the fitness space, make sure that you celebrate the "non-scale victories," which are the accomplishments you experience while hitting your milestone accomplishments. The more that you're able to celebrate yourself, the more encouraged and empowered you will be!
