Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Maria Merlo, Founder of Splendhealth, located in Simpsonville, SC, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Splendhealth helps committed women balance moods, regain vitality, stabilize hormones and achieve ideal body weight without harmful medications so they are empowered at all stages of life.
Tell us about yourself
I am a holistic wellness expert specialized in hormone balance and weight loss using a Functional Medicine approach. My health history with OCD, depression, and PMS made me find alternative ways to balance my hormones. Today my OCD is in 90% remission, and I do not have any symptoms of depression or PMS. My daily motivation is to help other women who face similar health challenges!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Launching the beta version of my first online program for hormone balance, I can dare to say it is probably one of the most comprehensive of its kind.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The most challenging part of my business has been social media marketing. Getting people to know and trust you.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- To run a business from scratch requires foundational education. I highly recommend to hire a reputable business coach.
- Somebody told me this phrase "Simple scales, complex fails." Try to keep your business simple, without complicated funnels, website algorithms, or too many offers.
- Very important that you clearly define your niche, your ideal customers, and your competitors.
