Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dr. David Rendelstein, Founder of ThinTech, located in Cranford, NJ, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

We help our clients achieve a Happy, Healthy, and Hopeful lifestyle by drastically improving their health with tools they can use for a lifetime! We work with our clients to eliminate barriers to optimized health and increase awareness of other areas of life that contribute to overall wellness. Our goal is to help create a path toward success, happiness, and health.

Tell us about yourself

My name is Dr. David Rendelstein, and I was once a 325lb chiropractor. It was difficult to do my job preaching about health, and I was unhealthy myself. I did have a few scary incidents. I remember one in particular that I had a dream I was drowning and woke up unable to breathe - It was terrifying and a real eye-opener; I knew I had to do something. I was attending a seminar and came across this program. I had nothing to lose, so I tried it and lost 100lbs, and the rest is history... I want to help people live their best lives, which motivates me daily; our clients are coming off medication, living wonderful lives, and living quality lives.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment is our contribution to our individual clients and their families. One family of 6 comes to mind. They all successfully completed our weight loss program. They sat down to Thanksgiving dinner, all looking around the dinner table at one another, and realized, WOW, look what has changed since last year! Another wonderful accomplishment is having two clinics open and growing!

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

This is a tough question, but I would have to say the sense of responsibility. There is so much to do in a day, and over the last few years, that has multiplied. Businesses have changed so much, and things that once worked do not any longer, so we are ever-changing; it is difficult to distinguish yourself from others.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

This is easy and very important! If you are starting a business today, you have to keep in mind that you are a communication company first, marketing is second, and lastly, you are the product or service you provide. Marketing is not easy but make sure your business stands out!

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

No matter what, enjoy what you do; it gets you through the hard days. Nothing is easy! Make sure to surround yourself with people you admire; that's what we have done. If you contact - your business will contract. It is not easy to operationalize, but as you grow as an individual, your business will grow. They work hand in hand!
