Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Robbie Spier Miller, Director of Hypnosis Training Canada, located in Burlington, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We help people make their own lives better with hypnosis by helping them get goals, improve confidence, manage stress, and manage pain. Some of our clients want to learn hypnosis to help their family and friends. There are many who learn hypnosis to improve business communication and manage people better. Others want to become professional hypnotists, which is an amazing career where you have the opportunity to help others and make an excellent income.
Tell us about yourself
I first started learning hypnosis to help myself. I was an IT consultant working in a very stressful environment, and I wanted to become more confident and manage stress better. Hypnosis helped me so much that I decided to build a career as a hypnotist and offer this help to others. I sought out mentorship from people in the hypnosis industry who knew how to build a successful business and followed their guidance. In the beginning, it was very challenging because I come from a very academic background that is quite the opposite of the way you need to look at the world as a hypnotist. Both my parents are medical doctors. It is 17 years later, and I am still inspired by my work because every day, I see clients achieving their goals and building better lives.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is helping mentor people to excel at their hypnosis careers. The mentorship students have an amazing opportunity to improve their own lives, help others and enjoy financial success.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Being a business owner can be very humbling. Reality is your teacher. So there are times when you have to admit your shortcomings and grow through them or suffer the business consequences. This was very challenging for me at first, and I have learned to mature in the process. Now I help others move through this too.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Find people who have excelled already in business to mentor you and apply their advice.
- Be willing to keep taking action, even when going through the ups and downs of building a business. Be willing to adjust your attitudes and actions based on the real-life results you are getting.
- Focus on what others need.
