Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in coaching but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Darian Rowles, Founder of Studio D, LLC, located in Rushville, OH, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I help women get unstuck with health and fitness through health coaching, personal training, and classical pilates. I motivate women to want to exercise and educate them on how their lifestyle could be directly negatively affecting their optimal health. I teach women to become more confident, live their own lives, and do so with creative problem solving tailored to each client differently.
Tell us about yourself
I'm a self-driven doer who has always loved pushing others past their comfort zones, watching transformation occur, and getting to the root cause of a problem. I started learning about holistic health in 2008 when a son had ADD and another son had severe asthma. At one point, I was also stuck in my own life and found health coaching to pull me into a healthier lifestyle. Seeing the transformation in the body and in someone's everyday living sets my soul on fire.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is being able to do what I love while also having the flexibility to watch my children grow at the same time.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
One of the hardest parts of being a business owner, especially a trainer and health coach, is during different seasons, people vacation or become sick during the cold season, which leaves the studio bare at times.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- If you feel it in your gut- you must go for it.
- Focus on making progress and not trying to be perfect.
- Ask for help or invest instead of wasting countless hours staring at the screen.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
I recently published my first book, Uncork Your Life: a guide for getting unstuck. This is a great read for moms and those ready to make new life changes.
