Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but not sure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Charmaine Denton, the founder of Take Back My Time - Living on Mission, a faith-based purpose coach and mentor based in Canada.

Tell us all about your business...

My Business is focused on helping others achieve their goals and fulfil their purpose through faith-based mentorship and services that fuel your passion, calls out your potential and get’s you organized.

What's your background and motivation to grow as a business owner?

I have always wanted to help others find what they were looking for, I was the one at the street corner helping that person with a map in hand wondering where they were going and If I could not help, I  would find someone who could.

I started my business because I thought if people did not have to waste time finding resources, tools, advice, or even the courage to start something, they would be able to spend less time wondering what they wanted to do in life or how to get it done and instead spend more time being who they really are and enjoying life.

My passion is other people's passion and it cheers me on each day to help others live out their purpose.

As an entrepreneur, what does success ultimately mean to you?

Helping others achieve their goals and seeing them bear fruit as a result. Success is about being fruitful and using the gifts and talents you have to help others. I was recognized in major newspapers in Toronto for helping people get started and keeping them going.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being an entrepreneur?

The feeling of isolation, being ok with inconsistency when it comes to making money, and realizing that you and your business are not the same people.

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

1. Make sure that what you want to do is part of who you are and not something you are doing just to make money.

2. Be ok with having inconsistency in your life and allow it to fuel you and not scare you.

3. You must be a risk-taker and have the courage to jump off that cliff and build your wings on the way down.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

I believe that everyone is born with gifts and talents that equip them to fulfill their purpose. My special gift is to call potential and purpose out of people.

I want to turn your passion into your profession, and I’m dedicated to providing you with the support you need to keep you productive and growing.
