Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Whitney Olivas, founder of O-Strong Fitness and Health, LLC., located in El Paso, TX, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is for fitness and health! I sell workout apparel, meal plans, workout plans, green juice recipes, and personal fitness training. I enjoy helping my customers reach and meet their fitness goals, whether it is just to become more healthier or to look good for the summer!
Tell us about yourself
I first became interested about five years ago. I was overweight, but I was almost 40+ pounds, and I needed to make a change. It was affecting my career in the military and my overall health. Once I reached my fitness goals, people started coming to me for assistance, and then I realized that I had a passion for fitness and helping others. The impact it has on your physical and mental health is what keeps me motivated.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is people believing in me and following me. I’ve got through to strangers that I don’t even know, and the fact that they actually listen to what I’m saying amazes me and makes me happy.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The hardest part is businesses do not sleep, so you constantly have to add content to your platforms and come up with new strategies.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Number one is GO FOR IT, take the step because once you do, you won’t regret it. Number two, believe in yourself and your ideas. Number three, just know that nothing great comes easy, so work hard.
