Permanent Freedom - Manifest Weight Loss

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Joanna Gerard, Director of Manifest Weight Loss, Inc., located in Boynton Beach, FL, USA.

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

I like to tell people that Manifest Weight Loss is in the Alarm Clock Business! We awaken people’s dreams through inspiration, information, and education. Our customer is any person who wants to take perfect health and complete wholeness as their own, not just in their body but in their mind and in their spirit as well. We help people believe again that regardless of their present circumstances, their best life may seem impossible, but It Is Doable!

Tell us about yourself

I have always been a motivator and coach, even before we started our business. My driver has always been a love for people, physical health, and nutrition. My passion is seeing lives inspired to reach for their highest dreams and achieve them. For years I managed a Top 3 center for a national weight loss chain. I began to understand that most weight loss companies deal only with one aspect of the overweight epidemic in America.

Food choices, along with various pills and supplements, some unhealthy, and all for Temporary Results! When COVID hit, we saw an opportunity to help people with long-term food issues as well as many negative cycles of weight loss frustration. We created a company based on Permanent FREEDOM and health for the whole person. Manifest Weight Loss was born.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Without question, it has been the ability to crack the code, eliminating Yo-Yo dieting permanently. Our statistics show our clients’ lives permanently changed and renewed with No Diets and No Pills. They become educated, intentional eaters, emotionally and physically stronger, and have much higher energy, and over 95% of them never gain the weight back. It’s a Transformation.

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

Maintaining your priorities. Staying grounded. For me, that is my connection to Something greater than me. Some call it the universe, a higher power, etc. I call Him my Heavenly Father. I’ve discovered that if I am walking in love and wisdom every day, everything around me is prospering. My family, my relationships, and of course, my business are all flowing at a higher level. Achievement begins with Believing.

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

I’ll give you four.

Know What The Core Of Your Business Really Is, and become an expert at it.
ALWAYS put yourself in your customer’s shoes. (Be The Purple Cow In Customer Service)!
Remember that People Buy YOU First!
And the Bonus - Be Generous with your customers and with your team. Our business does not exist for what we can make for ourselves but for what we can give to our generation and beyond.

PASSION! Our business is very demanding but never “work.” It’s because we are passionate about changing lives every day. When your business is the manifestation of your passion, you will overcome every challenge to make it what you dream it to be.
