We were lucky to catch up with Natasha Ganes and Jen Griffith recently and have shared our conversation below.
Natasha/Jen, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?
Likely the biggest risk we’ve taken together was to start our business. Entrepreneurship isn’t easy – you have to be able to pivot often, even (especially!) when you don’t want to – but we’ve managed to keep on keeping on during all the highs and lows. We’re blessed that we work well together and share the same goals for the company.
Natasha/Jen, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
We’re Natasha Ganes and Jen Griffith, co-founders of In the Life of Zen. We offer tools and resources that help empower people to prioritize their mind, body, spirit, and money—in other words, their mental, physical, spiritual, and financial health.
Have you ever had to pivot?
Learning to pivot is an essential skill for entrepreneurs. In fact, it’s mandatory. You can have all the ideas and plans in place that you want, but you know what they say about “the best-laid plans…” If something isn’t working, you learn pretty quickly that you have to change direction regardless of whether you want to or not. We started the company in 2019 and at this point, we’ve pivoted so many times we’ve lost count. And every time we’ve learned a valuable lesson that helps us move forward.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
We’ve wanted to give up countless times, but we believe in what we do and know what we’re capable of and that shared determination keeps up going. We have a dream and one way or another, we’ll see it come true.
