Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Melissa Hwang, Co-Founder of Evolve Energy Tribe, located in Johns Creek, GA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Evolve Energy Tribe is a health-centered community of growth-minded souls. We believe in supporting the WHOLE person, inclusive of the emotional, mental, and energetic aspects of self. We also believe each person has unique gifts and can contribute to the wellness of the community. We have a unique blend of contributors which enhance the overall experience and growth of the group. This spirit flows through Evolve's virtual community, "The Wisdom Portal." This is where the Tribe moves together in weekly workouts, communicates and lifts each other up to reach each other's full potential, and learns new concepts and health education.
Our customers (tribe members & community) are a diverse group of individuals who want increased energy, more focus, easy fat loss, more self-awareness, and keep you sexy for as long as you like. Men, women, older, younger - anyone with the mindset of more - more nutrient-dense meals, more vitality, more joy, and more opportunities to do whatever it is that your passion leads you to do.
Tell us about yourself
I came to Evolve Energy Tribe with more than 15 years of experience working with food, lifestyle, and fitness brands to develop and grow brand awareness, online communities, and stories. I am a digital marketing leader with extensive experience in developing and driving integrated and innovative marketing campaigns. Having personally experienced the life-changing programs developed by my fellow co-founder Mindy, I knew that more people needed to have access to this valuable information and knowledge. This combined with my love for movement and passion for creating brands that enhance people's lives, I informed Mindy that "we must share this with the world; more people need to be able to feel this good."
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Seeing the tangible, positive changes our programs and retreats have on our customers and tribe members. The way their faces and souls light up when they feel better than they ever thought they could feel.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Balancing the day job, being a single mother, and growing/building a start-up business - the constant struggle of getting it all done.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Just do it; stop waiting for the perfect time to get started.
- Surround yourself with the right people who will push and support you on your journey.
- Don't give up; it's worth it.
