What's your business, and who are your customers?
Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss—we help women stop their mental obsession with food, body, and weight so they can live their best lives! We serve high-performing women.
Tell us about yourself
I used to be constantly thinking about food/body/weight. I did every diet under the sun, and I was never happy and always stressed if my weight was up. I wanted a way out. It took me 20 years of trial and error to figure out a solution to food freedom for people that can be achieved in 8 weeks.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Published a book and helped 100s of people in our program and half a million downloads on our Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss Podcast.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Constant challenges and evolution to continue to show good leadership for the team.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Get a coach for building/growing your business.
- Get a therapist.
- Make sure you are selling either making more money, love relationships or health—that’s what people buy even if you offer so much more/better!
