Tara Koppel: Balancing Family, Leadership, and Success with GOVVI

Tara Koppel, a dedicated mother of three, has found the perfect balance between family life and professional success as a GOVVI influencer.

Living on an acreage in rural Saskatchewan, Canada, Tara embraces the peace and adventure that comes with the countryside. Through her journey with GOVVI, she has not only created a successful business but has also built meaningful relationships and found personal success and achievement. 

Background

Tara Koppel began her career as an elementary school teacher, a role she cherished for nine years. However, after the birth of her second child, she realized her heart was truly at home with her kids. Financially, she needed to keep working, but the traditional job structure no longer felt right. That’s when Tara discovered the world of e-commerce and health products. “Helping people has always been a passion of mine,” she shares. “With GOVVI, I found a way to help people improve their health while staying home with my kids.”

Since joining GOVVI from its inception, Tara has built a thriving business while maintaining her role as a part-time substitute teacher and a hands-on mother.

Why GOVVI?

Tara’s decision to join GOVVI was strongly influenced by the leadership team. “Lance, Burke, and Angel were inspiring from the start. Their family values and approachability made it easy for me to align with them,” she says. Together with her business partner Rebecca Oakes, Tara saw the potential for growth with GOVVI. They were confident that they could help change lives, not just for their customers but also for themselves.

Tara has found the relationships she’s formed through GOVVI to be one of the most rewarding aspects of her journey. “The connections I’ve made continue to inspire me every day,” she says. Tara’s favorite products include Boost, which has helped improve her thyroid and autoimmune issues, the Harmonic cards, which provide protection against harmful EMFs (Electromagnetic Fields), and Level Up, which boosts her focus, energy, and motivation as a busy mom.

Inspiration

Tara’s biggest inspiration comes from the ability to help other moms achieve financial independence while staying home with their children. “It’s amazing to see moms start their own business for just $150 and earn $1,000 or more a month,” she says. Tara’s goal is to continue helping others find this balance between family and work. “Staying home doesn’t have to mean giving up your social life or your own income. I’ve been able to build incredible relationships and help others do the same.”

Business Approach and Team Dynamics

When it comes to leading her team, Tara emphasizes the importance of connection. “I want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable, whether they’re joining my team or just coming over for coffee,” she says. She takes a straightforward approach to training, using teaching strategies to ensure her team members don’t feel overwhelmed. “I keep it real,” she explains. “I admit when I’m struggling because I want my team to know I’m in the trenches with them.”

Tara’s leadership is grounded in empathy and support. She encourages her team to have a growth mindset and to view mistakes as learning opportunities. Her motto is simple: Connection is key.

Balancing Personal and Professional Life

Tara’s life on the acreage with her family is full of outdoor adventures, from gardening to skating and sledding in the winter. ‘Watching our kids play in nature and take care of our pets has been a joy,’ she says. Balancing family life with business can be a challenge, but Tara has developed a strong ability to manage her time effectively. ‘It all comes down to lists, timers, and my calendar,’ she says. She carefully schedules her business tasks, team calls, and personal life to ensure nothing gets overlooked.

Her flexibility, a strength from her teaching days, has been both a blessing and a challenge in business. “Sometimes going with the flow can lead to inconsistency, but time-blocking and prioritizing tasks have helped me stay on track,” she shares.

What Fuels Her Drive?

Tara is deeply motivated by the freedom and time flexibility that GOVVI has provided her and her family. “The freedom to control my time is priceless,” she says. “Whether it’s running errands for a parent, helping a friend, or simply spending more moments with my kids and traveling with my husband, having this flexibility is invaluable. It’s something we never could have fully experienced while I was teaching full-time.” Tara is also driven by the success of her team. Helping others achieve their financial goals and reclaim control over their time inspires her to keep pushing forward.

Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

Tara’s advice for those looking to succeed in their roles is simple: Believe in yourself. “When you believe in yourself, great things happen,” she says. “I once started an LTO with just 100 volume and, with belief and action, I reached over 13,000 volume in a matter of days.” Tara’s journey is proof that with the right mindset, anything is possible.

She encourages others to embrace growth, take action, and maintain their passion for helping others. “When you have a passion to help, you can achieve anything,” she says.
