Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Rebekah Bersin, Owner of Pure Zen Wellness, located in Manassas, VA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Pure Zen Wellness is a Spa Oasis in Manassas, Va., dedicated to your health and well-being. With holistic skin care services and Reiki healing sessions to help bring you peace and balance and that Pure Zen Glow. My customers appreciate the pure ingredients during their facials knowing there are no toxins, artificial colors, or fragrances. Creating a tranquil space for self-care and true relaxation is my priority. It is truly a necessity, not a luxury.
Tell us about yourself
I started my own business after leaving the Spa world after 17yrs. I was honestly burnt out and craved being home and present with my three children. I started working from home and was so grateful to be home and continue doing what I loved to do. Then I got burnt again for being so available to everyone all the time. The lesson of setting stronger boundaries and getting clearer on what my goals were with my business was the new priority. I got a business coach at this time, and the decision to get my own space and start working outside of the home was the new goal that I poured my energy into.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is creating a balance between my work, family time, money, and energy. You can truly create and live the life you want once your vision is clear.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things about being a solopreneur is that you are wearing all the hats to run your business. My eldest daughter, who is 24, works with me and helps with marketing and different business ideas, which I love and appreciate, but at the end of the day, especially in the service industry, my energy goes into nurturing and supporting my clients. My love and passion are encouraging us to feel and look better, helping us be the best versions of ourselves.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Step into faith with your dreams and release your fears. It is normal to feel fear but choose to feed the energy of faith.
- Don't overthink your vision; there are thousands of people creating the same businesses, but there is only one you, and your energy is what makes it unique.
- Hire a business coach in your field to truly give you the guidance and support that we all need.
