What does it take to succeed in the dynamic realm of modern wellness? Well, let’s take a page from the success story of Domenic Iacovone, Founder of Relive. Starting from humble beginnings and now at the helm of a flourishing wellness empire, Domenic’s journey is a testament to hard work, innovation, and an unwavering passion for the industry.

Entrepreneurial Journey

Domenic’s entrepreneurial journey began in 2017 when he opened his first 600-square-foot location. However, the early days were not without challenges. Nobody came in, and Domenic had to rely on old-school marketing methods like handing out flyers.

The turning point came when he embraced the power of social media marketing. The shift marked the beginning of Relive’s success story, quickly expanding to larger stores within a year; and their growth has been exponential ever since.

Franchise Success

When it comes to considering franchise ownership, the importance of passion for the business is evident. Franchisees must genuinely love the industry, but beyond passion, hard work, and a strong presence in the business’s early stages is paramount, Domenic was deeply involved in the day-to-day operations of his first location and credits this hands-on approach as a key factor to success.

Building a Supportive Skilled Team

The ability to attract and train exceptional team members is a significant contributor to the success of any business. Finding the right people who can follow a system is crucial for franchisees. The franchise model provides the necessary training and support, allowing franchisees to focus on operations while Corporate handles marketing, training, and backend systems.

Membership models that make treatments more accessible and affordable are another component that supports the success of a wellness company. The need to make wellness services affordable for a broader demographic is increasingly apparent.

Key Lessons from Domenic’s Journey

In reflecting on his journey, Domenic emphasizes the importance of starting lean, avoiding overextension, and staying present in the business’s early stages. He encourages aspiring entrepreneurs not to compare their beginnings to someone else’s current success, as everyone starts from somewhere.

Domenic’s own experience, starting in a small, closet-sized office, serves as a reminder that hard work and dedication are essential ingredients in achieving success.
