Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Katie Bonarrigo, Founder of Shift Wellness Collective, located in Venice, CA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Shift is a holistic health coaching practice. We work one-on-one with clients to help them implement small, daily shifts that improve their sleep and their overall well-being.
Tell us about yourself
I started Shift after many years of dealing with my own health issues. For the longest time, my day-to-day life involved ongoing physical pain, disordered eating, anxiety, and digestive issues. After countless doctor appointments, inconsequential tests, and plans for surgical intervention, I finally reached my breaking point. I made the decision to start being intentional about small shifts that improved my health and well-being, and now I want to help others find shifts that are feasible and sustainable for their unique lifestyle.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner so far was launching a virtual course and making $10k in profit!
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things that come with being a business owner is work-life balance. In the beginning, you likely won't have help, so it's important to set boundaries and be sure you don't start neglecting yourself and your needs in the process of building your business.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Automate as much as possible.
- Learning to delegate effectively is crucial.
- Network, network, network - talk to anyone and everyone about your business.
