Today we’d like to introduce you to Elena Goncalves.
Hi Elena, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started my business online 7 years ago as an online health and wellness coach part-time around my full-time medical assistant job, college, and 2 kids. In 2018, I decided to take my business into the community and opened my first healthy shop. We built it up when Covid hit but stayed in that city for 3 years. We did close that location. Fast forward to November 2022 (just postpartum of my 4th baby), I decided to go at it again in our new local community (Deland). We have built a fantastic community by bringing healthier options to our locals. We also opened a second location in Port Orange in March 2023, where we do the same for our local community.
It wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
A few struggles have been gaining the trust of the locals, overcoming daily objections in the store, managing employees, maintaining product inventory, and growing our social media for the business, our primary source for advertising. Overall topics and areas that allow for growth and expansion as a leader and business owner. Incredible journey overall so far.
We’ve been impressed with DWTN Nutrition, but for folks who might need to be more familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart?
Our business focuses on bringing healthier options to our local community. We are known for our Delicious protein options. Healthy, energizing drinks. Fast, convenient for busy lifestyles while providing high-quality nutrition. We also focus on building healthy, strong communities by encouraging and recommending nutrition plans tailored to each person” goals and through living an active lifestyle. This is part of our coaching outside of our shop, where we extend our services in wellness and mentoring one-on-one. We also offer an opportunity to earn side hustle income for those interested in helping and teaching others a healthy, active lifestyle. Our positive environment, energy, attitude, and excellent customer service set us apart. We are most proud that we are impacting and helping change people’s lives by assisting others to live a healthy, active lifestyle.
What do you think about happiness?
What makes me happy is waking up every morning and living a life I design. A life full of purpose, knowing that it is a new day, a new opportunity to impact someone new. It makes me happy to run my business alongside my partner, who is my husband. Together, we do this around our 4 beautiful children.
