Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Reyna Franco, a Registered Dietitian, Nutritionist, and Personal Trainer based in New York, NY, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a registered dietitian, nutritionist, and certified personal trainer. I provide individual and group nutrition and exercise counseling to people of all ages and backgrounds. My clients come to me for assistance with weight issues, gastrointestinal concerns, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and sports nutrition.
Tell us about yourself
Prior to my career as an RDN and CPT, I was a manager in IT. I wanted a career change to something that was more meaningful. I asked myself what do I love to do and how can I make that a profession. I love food and exercise and decided to go back to college, and I got a Masters in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology. Every day I have the opportunity to help others improve their health and wellbeing. It is extremely rewarding when a client meets their goals.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Every time clients meet their goals and eliminate their medical condition is an accomplishment. For my athletes, it is exciting when they win a race or have a new PR.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The hardest part is the paperwork. I enjoy working with people, but I have also to take time to ensure I manage the business efficiently.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Find a business that you can put your heart into. It is an amazing feeling to enjoy working every day.
- Growth doesn't happen overnight. Stay positive, productive, and network with others to grow your business.
- Don't forget "me time." It is necessary to take time for yourself in order to stay energized.
