Running a business is a long and often exhausting journey and one of the key components to success is sustainability. In today’s episode, I am chatting with Suraya Nikwan, an accredited practising dietician and nutritionist, and the owner of The Bariatric Collective. Suraya helps her clients who’ve experienced weight regain after bariatric surgery to build an enjoyable nourished life without dieting through her one-to-one consultations, group programs, podcast and online courses. 

Suraya is passionate about her mission and was working enormous hours every week to support her patients. She joined the Run Your Business Like A Boss Academy to learn how to transform her business to serve more patients, work less hours, overcome compassion fatigue and scale up. 

Suraya made a breakthrough in her business when she did the online business audit in the academy and discovered that her business values didn’t align with her personal values. This realisation led her to make changes to her business model that freed her up to be available for her family while still running a very successful and fulfilling business.

One of the most important things we explore when creating a sustainable business model is finding your business North Star. This is the guiding principle that will help you to make decisions and stay focused on your goals. It’s so important to have a clear idea of what your business mission, values, and vision are so you can design your business model with these at the centre. 

Suraya talks about the power of being part of a group coaching program where you can benefit from the support, accountability and community of other members. Working with others and being held accountable can help to create breakthrough moments and make positive changes that will help your business grow.

Suraya's story is a perfect example of how taking action and staying accountable can help you reach your goals. By joining a group coaching program and making the time to do the work, she was able to make positive changes in her business and create a more successful business model.
