Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Seanna Thomas, a nutrition consultant based in Thornhill, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is Nutrition Consulting: education and information through workshops, articles, brand partnerships, and seminars. My clients are families, youth sports teams, organizations, and young athletes.
Tell us about yourself
When my son was 7 years old, he was given Doritos as a snack after an early morning hockey practice, and I knew at that moment that we could do better. My goal since then has been to help parents, families, and young athletes learn how to fuel performance in a realistic and sustainable way that works in our busy lifestyles. I love helping families make health convenient.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner has been helping thousands of young athletes learn that nutrition is a skill they need to practice, just like their sport. I also light up every time I receive a comment from a parent that I have helped make their lives easier and their kids have more energy or are recovering faster.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The hardest thing about being a business owner is doing it all! I have learned to delegate and ask for help when I need it, which has helped me focus on what I do best.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Just start. You will make mistakes, and that's ok. Just start and get going - there is no perfect time.
- Ask for help. If you are not a website developer, allow others to help you so you can focus on what you do best.
- Take some time for yourself. Working 24/7 isn't healthy for anyone. Remember to recharge. The world will not end if you don't answer emails or online comments immediately. Create a schedule that works for you, and do your best to stick to it!
