There are certain characteristics each profession requires you to exhibit. In a business owner’s case, one must persevere through adversity, showcase heroic constancy, and radiate vigor. Nathan Sharma, the owner and COO of NIWE Academy, is an amalgamation of these three characteristics that have assisted him in turning his family business into a multimillion-dollar success.
Nathan began his professional life after joining the hospitality industry. Although he was thriving, Nathan knew this was just a pit stop on his journey to discover self-complacency. In 2015, Nathan decided to join the family business. After starting off as the Director of Marketing, he rose to the position of Chief Operating Officer. Nathan had never felt more fulfilled and at peace with his decision.
His efforts soon started to pay off as NIWE Academy’s finances saw unprecedented growth. The employee number, which was previously restricted to three, rose to around 30, and the company received multiple beauty awards for its efforts to attain a gold standard approach to beauty and wellness.
Nathan established a board of directors and scheduled weekly cadences to help evaluate performances. He knew that the job was arduous and required him to get assistance from others. Hence, he decided to get in touch with a few mentors that, in his own words, guided him in the right direction. These mentors helped Nathan attain mental clarity and assisted him in making decisions related to accounting, marketing and sales, supply chain management, and customer review management.
“I got started working with a coach that would not only help point me in the right direction but help guide my mental health as well. Be it meditation, discipline, or workouts everything had to be scheduled. In just over 5 years, I was able to take the company to multimillion dollar levels,” says Nathan.
Thanks to Nathan, NIWE Academy continues to move forward on a positive trajectory. It has stood by its values to lead with excellence, integrity, and accountability. In just a few years, the company has set substantial precedents for its counterparts in the cosmetology industry.
Nathan plans to make the company public with the aim to make it bigger and better than ever. And since Nathan has a record of achieving the goals he sets out for himself, it isn’t long before he turns this idea into reality.
