Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dr. Glenda Rivoallan, Founder and CEO of We Talk Wellbeing, located in Grouville, JE, USA.

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

At We Talk Wellbeing, we empower, coach and train organizations, corporate teams, and individuals to become more proactive in life and business through resilience and well-being skills and practices that create long-lasting change.

Tell us about yourself

I have been in the well-being industry for 30 years and, to be honest, have been using my entrepreneurial flair for as long as I can remember. Renting community spaces and running my own fitness classes from the age of 17 out the back of my trailer gave me a sense of pride and freedom that is the main thrust for continuing to be an entrepreneur to this day.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

To see 3 of my businesses be acquired is a really big thing. To know that someone wants to buy what you created is very rewarding. I guess the biggest one for me was seeing my brand Soulgenic sell to the world's largest fitness brand (despite COVID), Anytime Fitness, in under three years from inception.

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

For me, it is loneliness and making sure you maintain positive mental health. It can be a very unforgiving environment when you have forsaken certainty for a fixed salary in return for unlimited earnings with huge uncertainty. Putting everything on the line is not for everyone.

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

  1. Build out your resilience backpack - you are going to need it.
  2. Get people around you that build you up.
  3. Drop comparison, expectation, and judgment. Get used to being in your lane and only your lane - cut out the noise.
