Ditch the Annoying Thyroid Symptoms - The Thyroid Trainer
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Sarah Sanders, Founder, and CEO of The Thyroid Trainer, located in Pound Ridge, NY, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a health coach specializing in helping women with Hashimoto's learn how to heal and manage their disease so that they can lose weight, beat fatigue, ditch their annoying symptoms and get back the joy in their lives.
Tell us about yourself
I have had Hashimoto's for the past eight years. When I was first diagnosed, I was depressed, overwhelmed, defeated, and I had no idea what to do to start feeling better. I didn't want other women to suffer as I had, so I combined my 12 years of fitness and wellness expertise with my eight years of healing into The Thyroid Trainer. I am motivated by all of my clients and helping other women who are struggling feel not so alone and give them hope that they too can heal.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
This past year I created my first course called HashiFIT, which I'm really proud of. I've grown so much in the past year that I'm almost at capacity for 1:1 clients and really want to be able to help as many people as I can.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Staying positive and motivated when you feel like you're failing. I honestly felt like a failure for the first year because I wasn't growing fast enough and wanted to give up multiple times. But the magic is on the other side of that - so don't give up! It takes a lot of hard work and finding the right people to help you, but it's so worth it to see your dreams become a reality.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Have a clear vision of who you help, how, and why from the beginning.
- Take small, messy actions every day. Done is better than perfect.
- Don't give up! It may take a while to see revenue and growth, but as long as you work hard and stay consistent in helping your ideal client and putting yourself out there, you will grow.
