Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Chelsie Engle, Owner of Elite Enneagram Coaching, located in Grimes, IA, USA.

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

As a certified Enneagram Coach, I support clients in discovering their enneagram type and leveraging the tools within to build self-awareness. My customers are people who are interested in utilizing the Enneagram to improve self-regulation & relationships and to understand WHY they do what they do.

Tell us about yourself

I have been on a personal growth journey utilizing the wisdom of the Enneagram. It was life-changing for me, and I knew it could be for others. I am passionate about helping my clients feel seen, heard, and understood at the deepest levels. Then supporting them on a journey of psychological development - as they uncover new learnings and surprise themselves by making major life transformations.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Each time I get a message from a client who says their life is forever changed due to the support and guidance they received from my coaching program.

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

Isolation and wanting to help as many people as possible. Getting the word out there that there is this amazing tool that everyone can benefit from.

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

  1. Know your why - understand what makes you tick and how you can lean into that.
  2. Connect with others who do what you do so you can have a community to rely on.
  3. Get ready to feel a roller coaster of emotions — because you never quite feel like you've done enough.
