Tee , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

I started my Mind & Body Awareness business teaching yoga and meditate to beginners after I went thru a life altering event. Well I started after I healed from it. But that’s where the “business idea” came from. Learning about reiki, how to do yoga, and mediate helped me overcome a big rough patch in my life. And I was so happy and satisfied about my results because I actually felt better and my practice was why. So it was then I decided I wanted to spread the experience. So that other people could experience the healing benefits that mindful awareness offered.

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 like to say I’m in the wellness industry or that I run a holistic health business. Form of healing with energy and movement of the body, not actual medicine. This is done by consistent practice of yoga, meditation, and reiki. I took courses and became certified in each field. They are all similar because of the benefits they share but each practice is different. Mind Body Spirit. Meditation for the mind, Yoga for the body, Reiki for the spirit. Each of these can heal more ailments than you may know. The proof is in the putting …and the research. I’ve always loved helping people in any kind of way so in creating the Longevi-T brand I thought what better way to help people then by teaching them how to heal themselves.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

Only thing I knew about business is what I researched. And learned from putting myself out there. I literally had to find out everything on my own, by trial and error, or research. When there isn’t anybody really around you in the field that you are joining it’s hard to seek advice about alot. So it’s up to you if you want to keep going with it or not. I didn’t know anybody doing yoga when I started but that didn’t deter me from it, it just made me want to be the person doing yoga that everybody knew. Reaching a target audience is so difficult when that’s not what you are surrounded by but it’s not impossible to do. You’ll find them and they’ll find you. As much as I felt like giving up I had to always keep in mind why I started and what I was aiming to do. If I gave up all my practicing would have went to waste. And that would have illustrated that what I was preaching wasn’t working. Yoga and meditation makes you stronger and I’ve done it so much I’m the strongest and I want other people to feel that too.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

Finances. The money isn’t just there for small businesses. Spent months writing up a business plan just to basically get laughed at once I took it to the bank.
