We had the good fortune of connecting with Tara Garrison and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tara, is there something you can share with us that those outside of the industry might not be aware of?
Health and life transformations require subconscious mind reprogramming. That’s why so many people are unsuccessful. It’s also why so many people gain the weight back after losing it and why they self-sabotage their professional growth- because they don’t change the deep, unconscious stories they hold about life. Those stories dictate over 90% of the decisions we make and we don’t even realize why we’re making them. Coaches who help create lasting health and life transformations know this, and that’s why we don’t just offer up a meal plan and wish someone luck.

What should our readers know about your business?
I run an online health and life coaching company, Higher Health & Life Coaching, coaching clients remotely all over the world, and host Higher Health & Mindset Retreats. I have a podcast called The Inside Out Health Podcast, provide loads of free health and mindset content on social media as @coachtaragarrison (Instagram and TikTok are my main platforms), have a book titled Short-Term Keto, and am a speaker on both health and mindset.

I started my company with $17 dollars to my name as a single mom of 4 kids (long story lol- it’s on my podcast). It was absolutely terrifying, and also soul-igniting, as my company was more of a spiritual calling to me than a business.

Tony Robbins says you need one of two things to be successful: inspiration or desperation. When I heard that, I thought, “well I’ve got both! So success is guaranteed!” Lol.

Within 3 months, I was well on my way to earning six figures in my first year, which I did, and continue growing tremendously in both client success and business success.

The biggest lessons I’ve learned are:

1. Be an eternal student. Invest in your education, always. Sometimes that’s time, sometimes it’s money, usually both. Learning from some of the best in the world has expedited my success.

2. Take decisive action and don’t look back. Where there is a will there is a way. You will figure out the how when you deeply know the what and the why.

3. Your mindset determines your life. Invest in this more than anything.

4. Be around people who are living how you want to live as much as possible, and spend very little time with people who aren’t.

5. Help other people win and you will win more than you can possibly imagine.
