We were lucky to catch up with Xaviera Zientek recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Xaviera, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.

I was always into working out, but never had the nutrition bug. I came across a post of FB regarding losing weight and gaining energy. I instantly DM the person who wrote it and went to place called a nutrition club. I was able to lose 15 lbs my first month taking the products. I never felt better in my life. I started coaching others to do what I do and expanded. I started making healthy treats from my house during pandemic. This grow to the point where I needed to open a brick and mortar store. I opened 2020 and never looked back.

Xaviera, 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?

I am a 38-year-old mother of two – I worked millions of different jobs that never satisfied me. I thought maybe this is life. I am unhappy and miserable sitting at desk at jobs I hate. But that also was a learning lesson. I learned so much from people I worked with – good and bad. After having my daughter in late 2019 – I was faced with I need to go back to work and what did that look like. My strength came with having her and was using that as fuel for inspiration. I woke up on day and said I want to open up my own business. The thought would intermittently hit me every few years and never acted on it. There was pandemic going on and I said this is perfect opportunity to open a health-conscious business. It sure was! I open in October 2020. I have not looked back.

If you have multiple revenue streams in your business, would you mind opening up about what those streams are and how they fit together?

online coaching and supplementing retail

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

pandemic is really how it started. You can either lose or win in that time. You had two choses. I believe people found themselves or didn’t.
