Why did you choose entrepreneurship over a job?
As there is a saying, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life ” and It holds true for me because I always love my work, though instead of doing a job I decided to start my own business.
In fact, I never applied for a job, I only completed internships and Since I always wanted to do something meaningful; something that adds value to the lives of my clients . I want to transform people into their best shape in terms of their health and body”, and thanks to ‘the word of mouth of my precious clients’ my journey led me towards entrepreneurship. It gives you immense satisfaction when you are able to do what you really want.
How do you find the industry/niche that you’re in?
Since it’s related to health and it’s my motto to encourage people for transforming their lives. I’m passionate about it and I like to see everyone healthy. I totally like what I’m doing and we never consider it as a competition. We are happy to help people who believe in themselves and we help them to achieve it.
What gets you out of bed in the morning i.e. what’s your source of motivation?
Each day is new for us, we learn from the previous day and always wants to learn new things which makes us better or what makes our customer’s health better.
Our achievements motivate me a lot, after knowing their transformation and their reviews I feel happy and it motivates me to transform more people’s health into good shape.
What challenges/obstacles did you face in your journey so far?
Every day is a challenging day for us because every day we get new patients and every human body is different from each other so it is sometimes it’s challenging to analyse their body types and plan their diets according to their likes and dislikes. Every day something new comes up and we need to up to date with the changing trends. But we are happy because we are able to do it and smiling faces of our customers satisfy our efforts.
How do you handle the pressure and manage stress?
According to me, Time Management and Pre-planning is the key to handle pressure and stress. As long as you can take control of these aspects, you don’t let the pressure mount. That’s what I feel.
What is one strategy that you believe has helped you grow as a person?
Client Satisfaction is the USP that helps us to excel.
When you focus on client experience, work on their expectations and deliver amazing results then you don’t have to worry about anything. We always strive to make our clients happy and delighted.
In your opinion what are the keys to success?
Passion towards work, Honesty, Client Satisfaction and Time Management are the key traits for me. I strongly feel that you have to work on these traits to be successful in life. Because when you are passionate and honest towards what you do, it translates into great outcome.
What advice would you give to someone starting out particularly women?
Do what you love. Don’t worry about the challenges and obstacles that might come your way. Just believe in yourself and start out!
