Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Rami Abu-Sitta, a Shamanic Practitioner & Transformational Coach based in Austin, TX, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
As a personal wellness guide and master of shamanic healing and transformational coaching, I'm here to support my clients every step of the way. Together, we explore the hidden corners of the mind and energy field where trauma may be lurking and give it the boot once and for all. Imagine feeling balanced, grounded, and free to live the life you truly desire. That's the kind of magic we create as we unearth the root cause of any roadblocks and clear the path for you to soar. This work can be incredibly powerful, but it requires your commitment to peering into the subconscious and disrupting self-destructive patterns.
Tell us about yourself
My journey began in the depths of chronic pain and illness, where I felt trapped and hopeless. After being bedridden for five years and finding no relief from Western medicine, I had a spiritual awakening that would change my life forever. At that moment, spirits entered my room, and a vortex opened above my bed, showing me that there was so much more to healing than I knew. I vowed to learn everything I could to heal myself, dedicating myself to the study of ancient shamanic healing practices, cutting-edge nutrition, and mind-body techniques. With determination and optimism, I was able to regain my health and vitality. I was initiated into the shamanic path by the Q'ero earth keepers in the High Andes of Peru and trained with Alberto Villoldo and The Four Winds Society. I now use this knowledge to empower others to transform their pain into power and reignite their passion for life. I have helped hundreds of clients around the globe to find their own path to healing and wellness.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My greatest joy and accomplishment in my work come from the powerful testimonials of those whose lives have been transformed through my services. Though I may have played a small role in their healing journey, it is truly a humbling and gratifying experience to hear of the struggles they have overcome, be it decades of suicidal ideation or the remission of a life-threatening illness. I do not take credit for their healing, but I am deeply grateful to have been able to be a supportive guide and a shining light, illuminating the path toward their own inner truth and strength. I pursued this work not for material gain but for the privilege of supporting others in their journey toward healing and personal growth.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Owning my own business has its ups and downs, and like many entrepreneurs, I wear many hats- from copywriting and web design to providing healing services. But, the most challenging aspect for me is being open and vulnerable to a wide audience. I am sharing shamanic practices that are deeply personal and meaningful to me, and it can be difficult to expose myself in this way, knowing that it can be triggering for some people. It requires a lot of courage and trust in myself, but ultimately it's the only way to be true to my purpose and help others on their healing journey.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Stay true to your values and purpose: When running a business that is close to your heart, it's important to stay true to your values and purpose. This will guide your decision-making and ensure that your business aligns with your personal beliefs and goals. It will also help you attract like-minded clients and customers who are drawn to your authentic message and offerings.
- Take care of yourself: Running a business can be demanding and stressful, and it's important to take care of your own well-being in order to be effective and resilient. Prioritize self-care, whether that's through meditation, exercise, or other activities that nourish your mind and body. This will help you stay grounded and centered and better able to handle the challenges that inevitably arise.
- Cultivate a sense of community: One of the most powerful aspects of running a business that is close to your heart is the ability to connect with like-minded individuals who share your values and purpose. Cultivate a sense of community, whether that's through networking, social media, or in-person events. This will not only provide support and inspiration but also open up new opportunities for collaborations and partnerships.
