Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Luiz Balcers, Co-Founder of Life Studio, located in North Vancouver, BC, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is a fitness and wellness facility with personal training, gym members, physiotherapy, and massage therapy.
Tell us about yourself
I've been a trainer for more than 17 years, and in the last two years, I decided to open this business with a partner. The idea is the transition of my career from a one-on-one trainer to management using my experience in the fitness field.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I believe in creating a space and a community where people feel very good to be working in and/or working out.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
In my case, we don't have employees and many things you have to deal with yourself "hands-on" until everything is structured and automated; there are lots of work to be done.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Be sure you want to have your business.
- Have a plan knowing that things can be unexpected and can delay your predictions, and you have to change your course and create new ideas.
- Have enough money to invest while the business is not profitable.
