Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Beena Patel, Founder of The Yoga Movement LLC., located in New York, NY, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am the Founder of The Yoga Movement, which is an online holistic wellness business combining my background in modern medicine and alternative healing to raise the standards of empowered living. I activate heart-led women to cultivate deep self-love and ignite their Queen energy to magnetize their heart's desires from a place of ease, trust, and flow.
Tell us about yourself
I had cancer myself at 21, which then led me on the path to medicine. I loved providing high-quality patient care to cancer patients in the top cancer institutions in New York City but quickly learned that holistic healing was more aligned with how I saw people - as whole individuals. I started The Yoga Movement to combine both my understanding of science and medicine as well as Reiki, Yoga, and intuitive healing modalities to provide more unique, customized healing for women. What motivates and inspires me is knowing that I am serving the world through my life purpose and greatest mission and that, in doing so, I am helping hundreds and thousands of women fulfill their highest potential and co-create a life beyond their wildest dreams.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is being the first woman in my family to start her own business. I am bringing healing to my entire lineage, and I am the initiator of generational wealth.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
It can sometimes be a lonely journey on the entrepreneurial path.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
You will never be 100% ready, so always come back to your "why." Why are you starting a business? Who are you looking to serve? Why is your service/product needed in the world? How will you powerfully and positively impact the lives of others? Ask yourself the more empowering questions that get you activated and help you understand why you are on the unique mission you are on.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
I am a passionate and fierce activator for everyone who enters my world. I have been told by both clients and mentors that I am very powerful and have a natural fire within me that lights up the realm of desires in others around me and simultaneously inspires others to strive for more in their lives.
