We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Meridee Hlokoff. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Meridee below.
Meridee, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today One deeply underappreciated facet of entrepreneurship is the kind of crazy stuff we have to deal with as business owners. Sometimes it’s crazy positive sometimes it’s crazy negative, but crazy experiences unite entrepreneurs regardless of industry. Can you share a crazy story with our readers?
One of my clients initially came to me to quit smoking—or at least, that’s what she told me at the time. As we started working together, it became clear she was also silently struggling with much more. She had a condition that caused her to compulsively pull out her hair, and she suffered from agoraphobia, rarely ever leaving her home.
Not long after, they reached out to share how profoundly life-changing the experience had been. She was now going for daily walks, no longer pulling out her hair, had successfully quit smoking, and her anxiety and depression were finally manageable.
Later, she opened up and admitted she hadn’t told me everything at the beginning. In truth, she had been experiencing up to 50 grand mal seizures a day. After receiving treatments with us, that number had dropped to a maximum of five per day. Her whole life started to change after 1 single treatment
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

This is began after my own laser to quit smoking experience
Have you ever had to pivot?
This is on ongoing experience. What works in business, social media, advertising 5 years ago doesn’t work now. Knowing that business is an ever changing, always adapting & navigating experience will make it an easier transition. I have had to JUMP before I am ready EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Learning that FAILURE is only feedback to us, helped me to become more and more successful because I listened and paid attention when failure was happening.
Can you talk to us about how you funded your business?
I went to a Cold Laser session to quit smoking and after I quit I was so excited. When I started again, I knew I had to help others with this. So I purchased the business from the lady. I received minimal training and ZERO experience and decided to really commit.
\I called my dad and asked to borrow some money to start/buy a business. We worked out a payment plan that had the balance paid in under 2 years and began my journey. That was in July 2011
