We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Imani Powell. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Imani below.
Imani, appreciate you joining us today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.
Most certainly! The moment that changed my overall grasp of medicine & health/fitness was when I encountered customers while working as a GNC associate. I was amazed at how they all came to the herbal supplement section and completely changed their health statuses due to holistic/botanical medicine. These were aspects of medicine that their doctors prevented them from exploring but instead gave them pharmaceutical prescriptions to take for the rest of their lives. From that point on I knew the medicine I wanted to practice and the fitness and health services I provide to clients needed to have a holistic approach and I sought out a doctorate in naturopathic medicine.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
As a business woman and health expert I take pride in the results I consistently have provided clients for 5+ years. I take pride in the mentoring that I have provided to those that wish to learn from my journey of being self-employed, owing businesses and making investments. I also take pride in practicing what I preach while constantly learning to better myself mentally physically and spiritually. Everyone is a walking brand, you choose to monetize and maximize the potential you carry or let it sit tucked away collecting dust.
NewLife Fitness was founded based on holistic mind and body principles and medicinal practices, At NewLife Fitness we’ve provided clients with changes that don’t just affect them physically but also mentally and spiritually. We don’t just push you for the physique you may want but we also focus on your internal health. We’ve reversed cardiovascular diseases, cholesterol problems, diabetes, GI issues and many more.
As an investor and self-employed entrepreneur, money is never my goal. Freedom of time is my goal. When helping people and staying in purpose is the basis of everything you do, money will come.
Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
From the moment I first had a business idea, I knew I had a lot of questions I didn’t know the answer too. Thankfully today in 2022 you can Google or YouTube anything. I would binge YouTube videos for hours concerning logistics of starting a business. I’ve learned a plethora of financial gems from books such as Automated Millionaire, The Millionaire Next Door, Rich Dad Poor Dad and Success through Spirituality for Women. The key to success isn’t to have it all figured out, but to constantly learn and self-correct.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
As a trainer, coach, Nutritionist and health professional, I’m always ensuring that each client has a unique And personalized experience/approach to getting their goals reached. Certain practices and principles remain the same but each person and their needs are different despite possibly having the same end goal as another person. My ability to acknowledge and respect these differences that vary from client to client, is what allows my business to maintain a good reputation.
I also never allow myself to get to the point of thinking that I know it all. I’m a master at what I do as well as a student of research, science, medicine and business.
