About the Business
- How did the idea for your business come about?
I have worked in the medical field for over 20 years and a lot has changed in that time. Health care is not what it used to be. I wanted to open my own business and be my own boss but I also wanted to use my knowledge in ultrasound and the several years I put in to accomplish that. Several years ago I had heard of an Ultrasound studio similar to mine that was in New Jersey. At that time I thought it was the greatest idea but I was not in a position to open one myself nor did I have the guts.
- How do you go about marketing your business? What has been your most successful form of marketing?
I have marketed in several ways as in TV, radio and social media. Facebook has been my greatest promoter.
- To what do you attribute your success?
I attribute my success to being driven and determined. But I’m not completely successful yet. I will consider my self successful when I can quit my day job. I still work my full time job and run my business.
