We were lucky to catch up with Miriam Lozano recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Miriam , thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?
I was always raised to be independent and not rely on anyone. As a Latina business owner, this mindset has been instrumental in my success. My upbringing instilled in me the importance of hard work, determination, and self-reliance. However, I also recognize the value of having a strong support system and mentors. I am blessed to have amazing support and mentors around me, and their guidance has been invaluable. Balancing independence with the wisdom and encouragement of others has shaped my work ethic and driven me to achieve my goals.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I own a mobile IV company and serve as the Nurse CEO of this venture. Our mission is to deliver health and wellness directly to our patients, making it simple for them to take care of and optimize their health. What excites me most about my work is the ability to provide convenient, high-quality care that fits seamlessly into our patients’ busy lives.
We’re thrilled to announce an upcoming collaboration with a hair salon and massage place, where we’ll be delivering mobile IVs and injections while clients are getting their hair done or enjoying a massage. This unique experience allows clients to enhance their wellness routines effortlessly, combining beauty and relaxation with health optimization. By integrating our services into these environments, we aim to create a holistic wellness experience that rejuvenates and revitalizes from the inside out.
I’m passionate about empowering people to feel their best and live healthier lives, and I’m proud to lead a company dedicated to this mission. This collaboration is just one of the innovative ways we’re making health and wellness more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Reflecting on my journey, three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful are:
Resilience and Adaptability: The ability to bounce back from setbacks and adapt to changing circumstances has been crucial. The healthcare industry is constantly evolving, and being able to pivot and find new solutions has allowed my business to thrive.
Advice: For those early in their journey, embrace challenges as learning opportunities. Stay flexible and open to change, and don’t be afraid to take calculated risks. Building resilience will help you navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.

Advice: Identify what you’re passionate about and let that passion fuel your journey. Stay curious and continuously educate yourself in your field. When you genuinely care about your work, it reflects in the quality of your services and the satisfaction of your clients.
For those early in their journey, focus on building these qualities and skills. Embrace challenges with resilience, communicate effectively, and let your passion guide you. With dedication and continuous learning, you’ll be well-equipped to achieve your goals and make a meaningful impact in your field.
Alright so to wrap up, who deserves credit for helping you overcome challenges or build some of the essential skills you’ve needed?
In my journey, the most helpful influences have been my mentors and support system. They have played pivotal roles in helping me overcome challenges and develop the essential skills, qualities, and knowledge needed for success.
1. Mentors: I’ve been fortunate to have mentors who have guided me with their wisdom and experience. They provided invaluable advice, shared their own experiences, and helped me navigate the complexities of running a business. Their encouragement and belief in my abilities have been a constant source of motivation. Dr. Juan Bautista is one of the main reasons I started my business and continued it after multiple challenges. He has guided me and supported me through out all my downfall and success. I am forever greatful to have him as one of my mentors.
2. Support System: My support system, including family, friends, and colleagues, has been crucial. They offered emotional support during tough times, celebrated my successes, and provided practical help when needed. Their unwavering support and belief in my vision have kept me grounded and focused. I have amazing nurses at body bar Dania, Celina, and Yvette and they have supported me through out this whole process.
3. Professional Networks: Engaging with professional networks and communities in the healthcare and business fields has also been instrumental. These networks provided opportunities for learning, collaboration, and growth. They connected me with like-minded individuals and industry experts who shared their knowledge and insights, helping me stay updated with the latest trends and best practices.
These people and networks have not only helped me develop the skills and knowledge needed to succeed but have also been a source of inspiration and strength throughout my journey.
