Meet Jennifer Tabiza

We were lucky to catch up with Jennifer Tabiza recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Jennifer, appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?

My resilience comes from a deep desire for freedom. From the very beginning, I’ve been determined to create my own income and my own path, because the alternative was never an option. The thought of losing my autonomy, my creativity, and having to answer to someone else was the one thing I could not accept. I’ve started five companies, and like any entrepreneur, I’ve faced plenty of lows. But every time, the choice was clear: either let myself sink or keep going. And because I wanted it so badly, resilience became the only way forward. My default has always been to put my head down, push through, and build something that allowed me to live life on my own terms.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

What excites me most about what I do is creating brands and bringing visions to life. I’ve always loved starting with an idea and building it into something tangible that changes lives, whether that’s in eye care, aesthetics, or technology. Over the years, I’ve founded multiple businesses, from Dr. Contact Lens to EyeCare & Aesthetics, Total Body Aesthetics, Techifeye, and now Aesthetic Coaching. Each of them began as a vision of what was missing in the market and what could empower people.

What feels most special to me is that I don’t just create for myself, I help other entrepreneurs and doctors do the same. I’ve walked the road of starting from scratch, taking risks, facing setbacks, and ultimately building companies that reflect freedom, creativity, and growth. Now, I’m focused not only on scaling my own ventures but also on teaching others how to expand into new areas like dry eye care and aesthetics, so they can create new revenue streams and realize their own potential.

I love to combine coaching with consulting, a bit of mental support and identity creation as a person who is powerful, and can bring to life anything they put their heart and soul into.

At the core, my work is about vision, seeing what doesn’t exist yet, believing in it, and building it into reality. That process of creation is what lights me up, and it’s what I hope to continue doing for myself and others.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Looking back, three qualities have been the most impactful for me.

First is finding support—whether that’s business coaching, spiritual counseling, or therapy. Entrepreneurship comes with inevitable highs and lows, and having a community or guide to lean on is vital. It’s tough going through it alone.

Second is building inner resilience by recognizing that your mind creates your reality. You have to learn to quiet the outside world…even when it feels heartbreaking, and stay focused on the vision you want to bring to life.

And third is knowing who you are and what you stand for. Having a mission, an ethos, and a creation that matters beyond yourself is what transforms a business into a legacy.

My advice to those starting out: invest in your mindset as much as your business plan, because clarity, resilience, and purpose are what carry you forward when things get hard.

Before we go, maybe you can tell us a bit about your parents and what you feel was the most impactful thing they did for you?

The most impactful thing my parents did for me was teach me to think differently. My father was a doctor, researcher, and inventor who constantly questioned the status quo to make new discoveries in medicine. Since childhood, he shared that mindset with me, which trained me to think for myself instead of simply accepting what I was told. That perspective made me clever, adaptable, and able to pivot as life and business challenges changed. It also inspired me to become an inventor in my own right, creating technologies that had never existed before.

From my mother, I learned that everything you do has to come from the heart—because without heart, it doesn’t matter, and it certainly isn’t art. That balance of critical thinking and deep feeling shaped who I am today: someone who builds not just businesses, but meaningful creations that carry both vision and soul.
