Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health & nutrition but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Lauren Sharpe, Founder of Lauren Sharpe Nutrition, located in Philadelphia, PA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I have two separate businesses. I am a dietitian and began my private nutrition practice for women struggling with their relationship with food. After two years of building my private practice, I had a lot of success. I loved the business + strategy side, which prompted me to start the other side of my business, where I teach nutrition professionals how to build a profitable online private practice!
Tell us about yourself
I always knew that to make the impact that I wanted to make. I had to take matters into my own hands. I loved the clinical aspect of nutrition and dietetics. Still, I strongly desired to be my boss, which motivates me daily.
I can create my schedule, be in charge of my impact and flexibility, and, most importantly, teach other women to step into their power.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment has been inspiring new dietitians and showing them what is possible in their careers beyond the clinical role if they desire that.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The rollercoaster! There is always a new hurdle to jump through, and what gets you to one level will require a different skill set to get to the next level, but it is all worth it.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Hire a mentor. Investments can feel scary but are incredibly important.
- Find grace in the days that feel hard.
- Get yourself a community of other business owners who understand the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship!
