Transforming Lives And Organizations

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dee Mathews, Founder & CEO of States of Change Coaching and NLP, located in Ottawa, ON, Canada.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I am a transformational success, mindset, and life coach. I am interested in helping all individuals that want to make a shift in their lives and mindsets and optimize their potential. I also treat fear and phobias and help with getting people on the right track in their lives, careers and businesses.

Tell us about yourself

I have spent the last 25-plus years helping people in one shape or form. I have mostly helped people to get back to their optimal physical health, which was why I studied Rehab medicine and opened up my first practice and business nearly 15 years ago. However, having accomplished all that I had set out to do in that first career, I noticed that the mind seemed to be the missing piece in the puzzle for optimal health. I had determined that the mind and body connection is what is so integral, so I decided to sell my practice and state up my coaching, consulting, and NLP company where I could become a master of developing and coaching the minds of individuals. The link between the mind and body is undeniable, and given the state of changes that have occurred in the last few years... people's mindset is suffering tremendously. This is why I launched States of Change as a company dedicated to improving people's bodies, minds, and souls. To connect the two entities. What motivates me on a daily basis is to help, to serve, and to have a purpose in life. My gift is to help and heal others. To motivate, facilitate, guide, and mentor others to be the best versions of themselves in whatever way possible. To help them achieve their dreams, goals, and aspirations. There is no better feeling in the world than to help others. No money in the world can buy you this feeling and sense of satisfaction. To live with purpose and passion.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Helping thousands of people live happier, healthier lives. To have inspired people to challenge their beliefs and become the best versions of themselves.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

It is to stay focused on your vision, dreams, and goals. Not to get caught up in shiny things, fads, etc. To stay true to your mission and vision. To not waiver... to make sure that you keep that passion because you will be tried and tested, and it is this passion and vision that helps you to get through those times. Also, make sure you balance your success with morality and ethical entrepreneurship.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

JUST start! FOCUS on your vision and passion
Develop a clear plan, take action and execute.
STAY THE COURSE, and do NOT Waiver!
