Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Debbie Taylor, Founder of Intuitive Hypnosis, located in Portland, OR, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I am a hypnotist. I teach people how to break free of physical, emotional, and spiritual traps by rewiring the brain to create new programs. The ripple effect of healing reaches out into every aspect of life.

Tell us about yourself

I am a retired school teacher/administrator. I have always been drawn to helping and teaching others how to do things in a way that brings joy into their life. Becoming proficient in the art of hypnosis has given me the skills and opportunities necessary to reach people at a very deep level. I understood this as a school teacher but was limited as to how I could apply this knowledge. My clients motivate me. They get so much value out of the work we do together. The conversations we have go far, far beyond anything they experience with their therapists, clergy, or others in the helping profession. I receive inspiration to do the work I do. Learning to trust and let go allows me to reach more clients, students, and readers.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I am the proud owner of Hypnosis Trainings, where I teach and certify others to become Professionally Certified Hypnotists. I teach my signature process called The Personal Change Blueprint. Using the Personal Change Blueprint is a huge game changer when it comes to creating significant change in people's lives. I am also proud to say that I have published two books teaching about the Personal Change Blueprint and self-hypnosis. Their titles are: Mastering the Law of Attraction - Your Personal Change Blueprint and, Self-Hypnosis for the 21st Century.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

For me, it's bookkeeping. "Doing" a business and "running" a business are two completely different skill sets. I love the work I do, but attending to the accounting/bookkeeping aspects of my business is better left to the professionals!

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

Stay present, be flexible, and give yourself several years to see the results you're dreaming of.
