She Couldn't Find Answers for Her Health. So She Built the Solution | Saha Collective Story [Ep 80]

What do you do when you can't find the answers you need?You build a better way.After 15 years in the corporate technology world, Alenka Kyslik faced a personal health journey that took her through years of searching, more than $10,000 in expenses, and roughly 50 different treatments. Frustrated by the lack of a system for finding providers outside conventional, insurance-covered options, she decided to build one.The result is Saha Collective, an online matchmaking platform designed to connect people with holistic and complementary providers based on their individual needs.Instead of simply giving people a long list of options, Saha Collective aims to help match individuals with the type of provider that may fit their situation, from DNA testing and gut health coaching to Pilates and therapy.In this episode of the GLOVISOR Podcast, Alenka shares the entrepreneurial lessons behind turning a personal frustration into a business, including why having a great product isn't enough, how to validate an idea before building it, and why learning how to sell can be just as important as learning how to build.You'll discover:🔥 Why Alenka spent years searching for answers before building her business💡 How frustration with a broken process sparked a business idea🚀 Why entrepreneurs should validate whether people will pay before building📣 Why building something great doesn't mean people will automatically find it🤝 How partnerships and referrals became more important than traditional social media for her business🔄 What she learned from building a double-sided marketplace💰 Why Saha Collective doesn't charge customers a traditional membership fee🎯 How the company tries to avoid mismatches between providers and clients📈 Why Alenka believes the market for complementary and alternative services is much bigger than many people realize🧠 The mindset shift required to stop getting in your own way as an entrepreneur❤️ Why finding the right solution may take timeAlenka also explains where Saha Collective is headed, who the company is currently looking to serve, and why providers, people experiencing chronic stress, chronic fatigue, or chronic pain, and potential business partners may want to connect.👤 CONNECT WITH ALENKA KYSLIK🌐 Saha Collective: https://sahacollective.com📧 Email: [email protected]📱 Social: @saha.collectiveMention Glovisor when reaching out 🤝 If you'd like a personal introduction or have questions about working with them, feel free to reach out to us, and we'd be happy to connect you.---🚀 Level Up Your Life & Business with Glovisor👉 Start here: https://Glovisor.com📘 Learn through our books: https://store.glovisor.com🎓 Master the system with our guided online course🤝 Go deeper with personalized 1-on-1 coachingSubscribe to the Glovisor Podcast for conversations with founders, leaders, and experts who share the strategies, systems, and mindsets that drive business growth.#Entrepreneurship #StartupStory #BusinessGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #SahaCollective #AlenkaKyslik #EntrepreneurMindset #HealthcareInnovation #WellnessBusiness #StartupLessons #BusinessStrategy #Glovisor #GlovisorPodcast⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 When You Can't Find the Answers00:56 The Story Behind Saha Collective01:41 From Corporate Tech to Entrepreneurship02:16 The $10,000 Search for Answers03:51 Getting Out of Your Own Way04:42 Why Building Isn't Enough05:23 The Problems You Discover After Launch06:45 Turning a Business Problem Into an Opportunity08:26 Building a Double-Sided Marketplace09:20 Why Partnerships Beat Social Media10:34 How Saha Collective Makes Money11:23 Finding the Right Provider12:31 Who Saha Collective Serves13:38 The Entrepreneurial Lesson14:24 What's Next for Saha Collective14:51 How to Connect With Alenka
