12. How I Became Coach Kiah - My Entrepreneurial Journey

Climbing with Coach Kiah

10/06/21 • 55 min

In honor of October being National Women’s Small Business Month, I am dedicating the next four episodes to women entrepreneurship. I’ve found that whether it’s the journey of health or business, the underlying factor that determines our success is the same: mindset.

We’re kicking off this series with my own entrepreneurship story. The journey to becoming Coach Kiah has been anything but a straight path. Growing up I never intended to become an entrepreneur, but over time my heart (and homesickness) eventually pulled me in that direction. There have been lots of unexpected twists and turns along the way and in this episode, I share with you the story of how it all unfolded.

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

My first entrepreneurial endeavors in a one-room schoolhouse
The first full-time business I owned and why I pivoted
What the behind the scenes of Coach Kiah currently looks like

Ways to bootstrap your health journey without spending money
