Reinvention Mastery

Thriving as a MULTIPLE Business Owner, Ina Visich, inspires other entrepreneurs to confidently navigate their own paths of reinvention, adapting to market trends and embracing new opportunities with CONFIDENCE and creativity.

As a multi-business owner, I always have to wear various hats, reinvent myself, and master new strategies to thrive in the business world. The process of reinventing myself and my business can be challenging and overwhelming, yet exhilarating and fascinating. In addition to staying informed about industry trends, expanding my offerings, embracing technology, and rebranding my business, I must ensure the success of my many ventures.

For example, as the owner of a thriving hot yoga studio, I saw value in adding a Matcha Bar within Solntse Hot Yoga and transformed the space to welcome guests with health and wellness beverages.

I had to switch from being a yoga instructor to diving into the world of matcha tea—its history, origins, and proper ceremonial preparation. I traveled to NYC frequently, speaking to matcha bar owners and observing baristas, to ensure I could deliver the best product to my customers. Switching “hats” and the opportunity of reinvention brought great excitement.

During the pandemic shutdown the following year, I seized the opportunity to repurpose a closed business into a plant store, offering houseplants to help customers refresh their living spaces and improve indoor air quality. NoFoPlantCO became an instant hit, attracting media attention and a growing customer base through social media. Existing yoga clients became new green thumb enthusiasts, learning how to care for plants.

That same year, I identified an opportunity to expand our wellness services by introducing a mobile stand-up paddleboarding business. Again, I switched hats, learning about water sports, winds, currents, safety, and new marketing strategies. NoFopaddleCo became a popular choice for those visiting North Fork or enjoying a beautiful sunset on Long Island. I scouted enchanting locations for customers to enjoy the sport, practice yoga on water, or capture unforgettable sunsets.

Continuing to reinvent my business model, one of my yoga instructors approached me to open a wellness center together. Switching hats once more, becoming a business coach to my employee and helping her elevate to a business owner. Inhales Wellness, opened in 2022, embodies all the services of Solntse Hot Yoga and more, including an event space and art gallery.

My favorite venture is hosting international yoga retreats since 2008, blending my passions for travel and wellness. From travel planner in Tuscany to cultural liaison in Portugal and yoga instructor in Costa Rica, I’ve worn many hats. Wellness travel has built a community of curious wanderlust lovers within local yogis and beyond.

As my businesses grew, I began coaching women in various fields on how to reinvent themselves, pivot, and create thriving entrepreneurship paths. Coaching embodies everything I’ve learned and implemented, sharing it with clients unafraid to wear many different hats on their paths to success.

I teach my clients that being a business owner means taking on multiple roles, from CEO to customer service representative to marketing manager. You must be a visionary leader, problem solver, salesperson, and financial manager.

Meeting passionate entrepreneurs through coaching inspired me to reach larger audiences, leading to the creation of the Thrive with Ina Podcast. On the podcast, I interview entrepreneurs from diverse fields, sharing their stories, struggles, lessons, and advice.

I find immense joy in building personal relationships and deep connections with these individuals, valuing the human experience above all.

Wearing so many hats as a business owner can be overwhelming, but, it’s what makes the journey of reinvention so rewarding. Embracing the diverse roles and responsibilities allows you to evolve and adapt to the ever-changing market landscape.

By wearing these hats with confidence and determination, you can navigate the challenges of reinvention and emerge stronger and more successful than ever before.
