Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and nutrition but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Ginger Bailey, founder of Salt Lake NutriCoaching, LLC, located in Sandy, UT, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We are registered dietitians that help people improve their lives through better nutrition. We help anyone that is needing help with improving their diet and nutrition.
Tell us about yourself
I started my career working at a local hospital. While I was good at my job, I really wanted to have more time to spend with patients to have a larger impact on their lives. The thing I love about my job most is seeing people's lives change in a very positive way. People end up both happier and healthier after working with me.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I feel like I have built a business that functions in an honest and ethical way that always puts the patient's best interest first. My employees really enjoy working for me and feel valued.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
There are always new issues that tend to arise that require very good problem-solving skills. I end up having to fix issues frequently that I didn't create. I, unfortunately, have to deal with other less-than-honest companies. Our legal system isn't designed to protect small businesses, so it is easy for small businesses to be taken advantage of by other companies and have no practical legal recourse in which to recover what they have lost.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Have a lot of patience with yourself and other people.
- Be willing to learn from mistakes.
- Understand that growing a business takes a lot of time and effort but also feels very rewarding.
