ℹ️ Introduction
Welcome back to the Frugalpreneur podcast, where we feature inspiring entrepreneurs who have bootstrapped their way to success. In today's episode, we have a very special guest, Ilona, who will be sharing valuable tips, tricks, tactics, techniques, and tools that helped her build her business from the ground up. I'm your host, Sarah St. John, and I can't wait for you to hear Ilona's incredible journey.
Ilona started her career as an au pair in the United States but ended up taking a different path altogether. She became a psychotherapist and started her own solo practice. But with determination and hard work, she grew her team to a remarkable 30 members. Ilona's focus on mental health services aligned perfectly with the high demand in the market, allowing her to serve even more people.
However, as with many bootstrap entrepreneurs, Ilona initially operated with minimal support, leading to burnout and limited growth potential. But she didn't let that stop her. With her strategic mindset, she partnered with a larger company to provide better benefits and support for her team. The importance of negotiating with the landlord and implementing efficient systems played a significant role in the growth of her practice.
But Ilona's ambitions didn't stop there. She is determined to increase access to care and has developed a course and app to support this mission. Throughout this episode, Ilona will share her insights and experiences, giving you practical advice that you can implement in your own entrepreneurial journey.
So join us as we dive into Ilona's story. Get ready to be inspired and motivated by her commitment to her values and mission, even during the most challenging times. And remember, if you have your own bootstrapping story to share, we want to hear from you! Now let's get started with Ilona's incredible story on the Frugalpreneur podcast.
