Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Olya Clark, Founder of Healthy Guru, LLC, located in Cary, NC, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business was created to help women look younger, feel better and live longer with more EASE while enjoying their life! Over the years, we create lots of habits to help us deal with life and stress so that one day we (women) no longer feel like ourselves! New Year comes, and we set New Year resolutions to start some new healthy habits hoping things would change and we would feel better, look younger and live longer, but then things go back to 'normal,' and things don't really change! Well, be YOU by Olya Clark (my brand, my company) is here to change things for good without pushing or forcing.
It all comes down to your metabolism, stress response, and body chemistry. When you understand how YOU have adapted to STRESS in YOUR life (using science-backed tools - hair tissue mineral analysis), then you feel inspired to make changes. My program, Balanced YOU Detox Program, is based on your unique body chemistry. It shows you how to make changes slowly over time - changes that WILL restore your metabolism, giving you more ENERGY to deal with LIFE and creating the life of your dreams... The program runs for a year, and many clients stay with me for years after the initial completion of the program because hair tissue mineral analysis and my coaching help them uncover new levels of health, well-being, and happiness.
Tell us about yourself
I was one of these women: burned out by LIFE. Straight A student, an immigrant, MBA, mom, yogi, ballet dancer, forever on a diet, workout junkie, wine lover, etc. - I thought I was doing LIFE right until my energy was GONE! I was burned out, and the doctors did not know what was wrong with me. It took thousands of dollars and lots of visits to holistic practitioners to get diagnosed with autoimmune Hashimoto's - OMG, most women have hormonal issues and are not diagnosed because every person is out of balance! It took me taking things into my hands, studying to become a holistic health practitioner, and creating my program to feel my best. I believe that my program can help many women who want to feel like themselves again and live their best life!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Creating a program that works!!! I help women get REAL results without feeling overwhelmed and at a minimal cost, feeling loved and cared for!
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Marketing and bookkeeping :). I'd rather create more tools, talk more to my women, and help more women but right now, I am doing a lot of the things myself. However, I am getting more collaborations and outsourcing more. It will all be well.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Record every little thing you do so you can easily teach someone to do it for you.
- Be organized - receipts, bookkeeping, etc. - you will grow before you know it - ACT today as if you are running an empire!
- Self-care - put yourself first, always!!! Breathe, move, eat, and know that you are more productive when you are well taken care of!
