Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Shana Hussin, Founder of Fast To Heal, located in Kaukauna, WI, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a registered dietitian, and I specialize in reversing insulin resistance, which drives most weight issues and blood sugar issues. My customers are those who have weight issues, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and metabolic issues and are sick of conventional methods failing them.
Tell us about yourself
I have been in the nutrition field for 23 years and taught conventional nutrition recommendations for about 15 years before I knew they were making more people sick than well. I started my own coaching business, so I could teach methods that I knew worked to reverse disease. I get emails and messages from people every day who are making progress and healing their bodies with simple and effective nutritional guidance on meal timing, meal order, and therapeutic carb restriction.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Turning people's weight and health around, hands down. The methods I teach are simple to implement and work to stabilize blood sugar and energy, which promotes weight loss and blood sugar regulation.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Promotion, for sure. I am a clinician and teacher above everything else, so I have had to learn how to be an entrepreneur and run a business. On top of everything, I have been trained to teach people about health and nutrition.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Be consistent. I am very good at what I do, but it takes time for people to know, like, and trust you enough to become your student.
- Don't be afraid to pivot as needed. If something isn't working, readjust and try another angle.
- Get out of your comfort zone! I had to teach myself how to be a podcaster, how to build a following on social, and how to market and promote myself. This was all learned on my own, but my business would have died if I didn't learn what I needed to be successful.
