Reach Your Highest, Healthiest Life - Wellness by Manny
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Manuelita Esquivel, Owner of Wellness by Manny, located in Kuta, Bali, Indonesia.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is Wellness by Manny. It’s about two years old now! My main goal is to make health and wellness accessible to everyone at an affordable price. It’s 100% online, and I coach the client on a weekly basis on how to turn their life around and feel better. I achieve this through education and implementation.
My main audience is people who are exhausted of being sick and tired. These clients need help taking the first step into wellness, guidance, and motivation. These clients don’t necessarily have to be overweight. They could feel unhealthy, lost about where to begin, want to acquire more energy, want to gain knowledge on nutrition and fitness, or several other factors.
Tell us about yourself
During the pandemic, I had a very strong desire to help people feel better and more confident about their state of health. I wanted to reach everyone, not just the immediate people next to me. Creating a website with wellness programs would direct me to reach hundreds of people!
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology: nutrition, and sports medicine, so having this website allowed me to express my biggest passion in life!
The pandemic was a huge wake-up call for everyone, and my strong desire to help people pushed me to create this website. It’s the best thing I have done in my life, and I hope to continue changing people’s life.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is an easy one! Seeing my clients adapt to a healthier lifestyle and finally feel good is what I live for. I believe in education; some people just want to get educated but don’t know how to research. By educating my clients, I have succeeded in changing their life. This brings me so much joy and fulfillment.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
I absolutely love being a business owner. I never thought I would be able to, but the internet nowadays makes everything possible. There are very difficult days that you have to overcome while being a business owner; you will make many mistakes and possibly fail, but the process of it all is a wonderful journey, and it’s your own creation!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
I have learned that time is the most valuable aspect of life. Oprah said that, and I believe everything she says. But it’s completely true! Without time, I would have never understood what my purpose on this earth was. I would have never implemented my theory into an idea and then execute it on a website.
So you need time. You may need to save up and quit your job to have time, but it will be worth it.
Join a mastermind course or any coaching course online. This will help you navigate the beginnings of what you must do as a business owner. Doing this alone is difficult. Outsourcing your work is key to success.
