Making Smart, Smarter

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health supplements but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Nolan Butler, founder of NUROTONE, located in Greene, NY, USA.

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

NUROTONE is a cognitive enhancement supplement company that helps athletes maximize their mind's potential & harness the power within them to create success in any arena.

Tell us about yourself

I found that I was inspired by the best of the best, and in business, it's a challenge to get to the top. You have to show up every day, take risks and deal with all sorts of problems. But that is what I love. I love chasing goals and seeing my vision realized. Inspiration is a driving factor for me, so every day, I try to become inspired by new ideas, new people, or even the people around me.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Launching NUROTONE was a huge accomplishment for me. When I started college, I set a goal to graduate with a business. Now, with one semester left, I am more excited than ever to grow this brand into something even bigger!

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

I have a lot going on. From college, fitness, and now owning my business, it can be tough to manage all of that and not get burnt out. Time management and discipline have helped me get to where I am and keep me grounded every day.

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

It's hard to give business advice because everyone's story is different. However, there are some of the things that have helped me:

Never quit. Some days it can feel like your back is against the wall and you have nowhere to go. But trust me, you could be one right move away from success, and you would never know it.
Be open-minded. If one thing does not work, step away and look at alternatives. Choose an alternative and give it 100%. Never give half effort because it will never work.
Wake up early. Get up before everyone else and have a couple of hours alone to work on your business before the day starts. Once everyone around you gets up, your phone will blow up, and everyone will want something. This will only take your attention and focus away from your business.
