What's your business, and who are your customers?
- Nutrition Education and Coaching Services
- Award-winning Author
- Class Instructor
- Speaker/Presenter.
My customers are those who are tired of flitting from one failed diet plan to another and are ready to take an active role in their health.
Tell us about yourself
I began following a plant-based diet over 30 years ago but wasn't doing it in a healthy way at all. Fast forward to today, I've been teaching the whole food, plant-based way of eating for over 25 years. I'm motivated when I see my clients lose weight for good, regain their health, and get off the lifestyle-related meds which they thought they'd need forever. I have never seen this way of eating NOT work when people implement it and stick with it.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Author of the award-winning book, The "Plan A" Diet: Combining Whole Food, Plant-Based Nutrition with the Timeless Wisdom of Scripture.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Marketing. Finding the specific niche of folks who are ready to change.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Do your homework and have a well-thought-out plan.
- Be prepared not to make money at first. It can take many months.
- Balance your time well. It's easy to let your business become all-consuming, which might be needed at first, but you also need to "sharpen the saw" (i.e., eat well, get rest, manage stress).
