Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in mental wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Tyler Jensen, Founder of Tyler J Jensen Psychotherapy LLC., located in Iowa City, IA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is a private psychotherapy practice that provides trauma-focused/informed therapy to anyone located within Iowa.
Tell us about yourself
My work is the result of my own life experiences and trauma memoir. I used to think that if I could simply change one person's life, I could go to sleep at night. I came across many people who were leading lives that were not true and meaningful to them but were instead being guided by their phony trauma narratives.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is being able to construct this active practice and fulfill my community's mental health needs.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The single hardest thing about being a business owner is being able to market yourself correctly and constantly educate yourself on the latest trends and methods in which you can most effectively reach your targeted audience.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Seek out an expert in your field that has the success you are looking to get and ask to pick their brain.
- Consume as much information about your topic as possible
become an expert in as many business aspects as you feel able to. - Allow yourself the time you need to scale. This will not happen overnight!
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
You will get out of your business what you are willing to put into it. This is a full-time job in and of itself. This is a living, breathing entity that requires your full attention.
