We were lucky to catch up with Ofelia Zambrano recently and have shared our conversation below.

Ofelia, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. It’s always helpful to hear about times when someone’s had to take a risk – how did they think through the decision, why did they take the risk, and what ended up happening. We’d love to hear about a risk you’ve taken.

The journey to my business in the health and wellness industry started ironically with the lack of health. I felt I didn’t have control of my body, everything that I ate made me feel sick. After trying multiple different diets, doctors, medicine without success I decided to stop trying quick fixes and go for the long term habit change.

I started a nutritional system called Isagenix. This time I was not “trying” something new, I was “doing” something new.

A few months into the program, I started feeling so good that feeling good was my new normal and I didn’t wanted to risk loosing that amazing feeling. I even started sharing this program with people that was feeling like me before.

One day I felt the need, which I now think it was my calling, to take this journey to the next level and decided to go for the Health and Life Coach certification. I thought that by having this certifications, people would take me more serious about the nutritional products. I went back to study for 6 intensive months and little did I know that I was going to find my passion and purpose in life.

I am now taking the chance putting all my time and effort to develop a new business in the health and life coaching to motivate, support and guide others achieve their goals with their health and with any other aspect of life.

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?

I decided to obtain the Health and Life Coach certification to have a deeper understanding of people’s health and habits. With this new tool I am excited to be able to help people improve their health. I now have a great nutritional product plus a step-by-step process to help my clients change their habits that no longer support their goals.

My life purpose is to inspire and mentor women in the field of health and personal development.

As a Health and Life Coach, my mission is to grab you by the hand to uncover those obstacles that are stopping you from achieving your maximum potential.
We will work together in improving some health issues such as:
Increasing energy levels
Add more movement to your life
Reduce stress level
Sleep better
Have better communication with your friends and love ones
Improve your relationship with money
Improve your relationships with time
Make a change of career

The work takes around 12 weeks. We meet on a weekly basis for 45 minutes to an hour for each session.
I also customize the services based on each individual’s needs.

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

I love this question because the main aspect of my pofession that captivated me the most is the fact that I needed to go through the entire process myself to overcome obstacles that were stopping me to reach my highest potential. They say we are only able to take our clients as far as we are able to go ourselves.
To succeed in this field, I must face the challenges that my clients will face, and I truly love it because now they know I won’t be asking for an impossible task.

Have you ever had to pivot?

I believe in diversification because there will always be things that are out of our control. Having different sources of income gives me peace of mind. As an entrepreneur, I manage three different businesses that are in totally different fields. One of them is in the Real Estate arena which is very challenging because external factors can affect the industry drastically.
When the market conditions are favorable for real estate, I put this on hold to avoid wasting my energy and effort.
When this happens, I feel more creative and focus on growing the other two businesses.
