Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health & wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Sarah Chaves, Owner of Bodybar Pilates, located in Tampa, FL, USA.

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

It is a Pilates studio. For anyone in the area, Pilates is great for all.

Tell us about yourself

I am the first born in my family and have always wanted to lead and start my own business. I am a first generation as well, so I think my grandparents taught me the value of hard work at a young age.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Starting it on my own, while working another job. I had to multitask and work almost everyday to plan and get the studio opened.  Also, I have had to be very frugal with my spending because it is expensive to start a business.

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

Being true to yourself, but also pleasing others to make sure the business does well.

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

  1. Listen to your gut.
  2. Don't give up.
  3. Work hard.
