Today we’d like to introduce you to Destiny Scott-Gobert.
Destiny, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
It all started when I begin to dive deeper into health and fitness! I would go into a smoothie bar near my job that offered energy teas, meal replacement smoothies, and more. The energy I felt was always amazing and I love the way the healthy energy drinks made me feel.
So, I begin praying and thinking on how my community could benefit so much if I could bring it to them (a healthier way of living). However, my commitment to my job at the time, wouldn’t allow me the time to put a plan in place.
Unexpectedly, COVID happened and I got laid off from my job. I didn’t get upset, because I knew this was part of God’s plan to sit me down so that I could write the plan and bring the vision to life, in which God placed on the inside of me. To become an Entrepreneur was a deep desire that I carried within.
So, immediately with the help of my husband and upline within the company, I put my plan into action. With hard work and dedication, on August 4, 2020, I opened a brick and mortar in Baytown, Texas, called “The Healthy Sip”.
We offer energy teas, full meal replacement smoothies, protein waffles, protein snacks, oatmeal, protein iced coffee, and much more!
My dream had become a reality! I wanted to do more. So, I did. I knew my community need more exercise options. So, I became an Xtreme Hip Hop Step instructor! That’s right we offer classes at my facility, also! I love helping people get fit and healthy. It feels amazing to witness so many people become healthier as they reach their fitness goals!
As I continue this amazing journey of health, wellness and fitness. I remind myself of why I started. Talking about change is easy to do, while being the change takes consistency, dedication and determination. My family and community encourage me to continue advancing at The Healthy Sip as I create more healthy options to everyone!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I did have a few bumps in the road. The first one was getting seating in my establishment. The city was trying to consider it a restaurant and was wanting me to spend another $5-6k on installing another restroom. But, through continued prayer and me not stopping on having them understand what I actually do, I was able to get in touch with the city council and now I have seating! All praise to God!
Now, we have seating, free Wi-Fi, and a very chill atmosphere!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
