We had the good fortune of connecting with Victoria Smith and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Victoria, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
I risk “what if” everyday. What if I get no customers today. What if I run into someone who doesn’t like my product. That “what if” keeps me going each day. What if I change someone’s life through health & happiness today. What if today is the best sales day yet. It’s not worth it without the risk and you’ve gotta be willing to put your best foot forward no matter the outcome.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I’ve always wanted to own a gym, which will come but as I was on my journey of renting yoga spaces for my classes Tanza, whom is my business partner came to see me and blessed me with the business side of Herbalife and I dove straight in. Eagerly excited for the impact I could make with nutrition changes, I opened Bennett Nutrition with the year of joining Herbalife. It has been hard from the start and is challenging everyday, I don’t always have the 100% in me that it takes to be successful everyday. Marketing has been difficult for me personally, it’s been tough getting the word out there! The hardest part is never stopping, when the hurdles come, I can’t stop! I’ve learned to be gentle with myself and slow down. Being hard on yourself sometimes makes it a bit more stressful. For my siblings I’ve adopted and my two girls, we will push everyday! Being on this journey of being a mompreneur has lead me to many new journies as I reach for my highest self, I’ve joined ULFC to become a better leader, taken business classes with Tonoa Manuel, joined social clubs to learn to break out of my shell. I am very excited for my growth and everything my future holds for me!
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Oh man! Colorado is such a beautiful sight to see and the outdoors is my most favorite! We’d start by going hiking at St Mary’s Glacier, visit a few nutrition clubs along the way (there’s a ton!) My favorite brunch spot with bottomless mimosas is kachina cantina, followed with some Karaoke downtown!
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Thank you to my business partner Tanza Trammell for always pushing me to be the best version of myself and investing! My family has always been a huge supportive in helping me reach my goals by helping any way they can from helping me with my children to painting the business! My sister Teniya helps me in more ways than In can even express. She is my left hand, my back bone, my everything. Without her I do not think I could accomplish half of what I do everyday! THANK YOU TENIYA!!!
My children! Thank you for being patient with me as I chase a life we all deserve!
The community around me is owed the most gratitude! Thank you for welcoming me and supporting me!
