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

I am the owner of Meteor Transformation Coaching. We specialize in life coaching, custom fitness, nutrition, healing, and success. Our programs are designed to create a lifelong transformation from the inside out. Our customers are busy professionals who are ready to invest and reach the next level both in their personal lives and achievements.

Tell us about yourself

I fell in love with weight training over a decade ago. That snowballed into learning more about nutrition and creating a healthy lifestyle. The farther along on my journey I have gone, the more I realized how much impact mindset and your daily habits create on everything around you, including establishing long-term wellness. That transpired into starting my own business; the core of the programs I have created have come from that journey to where it is now. Every single day I am motivated, knowing I am making an impact. The change in perspective, reaching a new level of confidence or healing while creating deeper self-love, and being a part of that client's journey is what drives me.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Building my business from the ground up while only using my income until this point was an incredible achievement that took a lot of grit. The journey has taught and continues to teach me so much. Also, doubling my business in just 6 months last year was such a gift. It allowed me to continue to learn new skills and create the life I desire. It also means that I was able to impact many more lives, which adds value to the world is the ultimate goal.

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

You are the only one who can show up for you. There are no guarantees, especially in the beginning. Learning how to trust the process while taking action and manifesting my goals instead of being fearful was a learned skill. If you do not learn how to let go and be present, the negativity will creep into other areas of your life as well.

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

Have a vision for the long game. Be prepared for hard times with a vision so strong it keeps you growing. Research website designers, marketing, and business coaches. I spent a lot of time and money doing things wrong that if I had done more research, would have saved me on all of those things in the long run. Don't forget why you started. Every day is a gift.
