Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Lyn-Genet Recitas, CEO of The Plan, located in Dobbs Ferry, NY, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I own a nutrition company with approximately 10 nutritionists. I specialize in inflammation, thyroid function, and auto-immune disorders.
Tell us about yourself
I started my interest in nutrition when I studied herbology at the age of 18. This interest was caused by the failure of the medical system to properly address health issues for my family and me. I am blessed that almost daily, I hear from clients that I changed not only their health and weight but their entire view on nutrition and food. All of my staff are former clients.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
To be successful, one has to constantly shift to the times without losing focus. I am proud to have been in business for over 30 years.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
I have to say- aside from COVID- nothing has been hard. It's been a bit tricky at times, but I have a great team and committed clients.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
You have to believe in your mission. Surround yourself with people that ask good questions, but not people who try to talk you out of, or disparage, your work.
