Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Marvin Viegas, founder, and coach of MindClarity, located in Toronto, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a Corporate Success Coach located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My clients are otherwise very happy and thriving members of society who seem to wake up to days that are stressful and chaotic, filled with anxiety & uncertainty. I provide the tools that empower their path to clarity and happiness.
Tell us about yourself
Although I was successful at most things I attempted, I realized I lived a separate life from the happy one I really imagined for myself. I was trapped in a feeling of wanting to be perfect, a lack of confidence, and a sense of being disconnected from others. Finally, I got tired of being stressed and unhappy every day - something needed to change.
I started exploring the idea of mindfulness, discovered effective meditation methods, and learned from highly-skilled professionals. The most important thing I learned was how to take a peaceful pause, love myself & trust my inner wisdom.
Today, I am a certified Life and Meditation Coach in the GTA, a happily married father of two sons, and I live that life of happiness I always imagined. Through life coaching and meditation, I help my clients clarify their purpose, increase their energy and renew their motivation to succeed. I believe that everyone has within them the ability to pause from their busy lives and realize that the happiness they so strongly desire is accessible to them right now.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I am extremely proud that after years in the corporate arena, I am able to translate the learned skills and tribulations into a business that helps others overcome the very same challenges.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
It can be challenging to wear all the many hats that every entrepreneur has to wear. The biggest challenge is to stay focused on the strategic running of the business & continue to provide high-level results to my valued clients.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- 1 . Don't ignore the voices you hear that are drawing you closer to your true happiness.
- Define your offering and use every opportunity to test out if your offering can provide results to your target audience.
- Stay focused in your "lane" - You can't be everything to everybody.
