Episode 151: Going from side hustling to $10,000/month in 60 days with Ali Zeno

I am so excited for this week’s episode of Female empowered! In this week’s podcast, I interviewed Ali Zeno for a Female Founder feature. She is the owner of Essentials Physical Therapy and Training.

 

She is based in New Jersey but caters to out-of-state clients, too! Ali started her business after practicing in a clinic for five years. Her move to put up Essentials Physical Therapy and Training is an effort to have more flexibility for her growing family and to help more women during and after pregnancy.

 

Ali’s Main Goal Was To Help Women During The Pandemic

 

Essentials Physical Therapy and Training began right in the middle of the pandemic. People who Ali knew had nowhere to turn to because of the restrictions during the height of the pandemic, so she thought it was a huge gap she can fill.

 

She began with a number of virtual clients until she had to move to New Jersey. Now, she sees clients both virtually and in –person.
She was still employed in a clinic when she started her business. As her business continued to grow and decided to finally leave the clinic where she was practicing, she was able to generate $10,000 in just 60 days.

 

Let’s talk about:

  • Ali’s bio, background, and business model

  • Looking at your finances before you decide to go full-time in growing your business
