Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Maria Litvin, Owner of MBS Health and Wellness, located in Colora, MD, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My name is Maria. I am a Nurse, Integrative Health Practitioner, and Health Coach. I help nurses and healthcare professionals who are struggling with taking care of everyone but themselves finally say yes to taking care of themselves first.
Tell us about yourself
I fell ill about 1.5 years ago with extreme anxiety, migraines, vertigo, and more that were resistant to conventional medical treatments and prescriptions. I took it upon myself to research how I could have gotten so sick and what I could do to at least return to how I was before. Through long internet searches, natural health and health coaching came to my awareness and my life was changed by two ideas I had never heard before despite a career in the medical field.
First, I had to fully take responsibility for my health and wellness and understand how my everyday habits led to my ultimate health and existence. Second, there is a root cause of the symptoms that I experience in my body. When I apply the 'band-aid' approach to a deeper underlying imbalance, the imbalance will continue and the root problem will never be addressed, only silenced. These two realizations are the basis of how I help other nurses fully take responsibility for their health and overcome underlying imbalances in their minds, body and souls to live a quality life.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is to offer such a transformational experience to my peer and for them to experience life-changing results from my offer to them. I am honored to empower people to take control of their health and determine their version of health, then pursue and achieve it.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things that come with being a business owner is to hold a belief in yourself and your mission especially in the beginning. I believe that I have the power to completely change healthcare but in the early moments, I experience doubt in my demand. I learned that I must believe in myself, my offer, and my client to work as a team towards the goal of the clients but also the goal of my business to change the quality of lives of healthcare professionals.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
The top 3 tips I would give to anything looking to start, run and grow a business today would be to always remember your 'why,' to dissect your goal into smaller achievements and schedule them so you work towards your goal every day, and to not be afraid to pursue your passion and dreams. Your clients and customers are waiting for you to make them an offer.
