In this fun and candid episode of the Dietitian Success Podcast, Krista is joined by RD business buddies, Kristen and Gillean, for a heartfelt discussion about the hardest lessons they’ve had to learn as entrepreneurs. With each having a unique business focus—private practice, media dietetics, and online education—they share common challenges and invaluable insights. Together, they chat through: 

• The importance of hiring self-sufficient team members who take ownership of their roles, and balancing oversight and trust to maintain quality while empowering employees.
• Setting boundaries to avoid burnout while maintaining flexibility.
• Learning to say no, delegate, and prioritize tasks based on personal and business values.
• Avoiding "Shiny Object Syndrome"; staying focused on the “main thing” to prevent distractions from diluting your brand.
• The value of in-person and network connections in growing a sustainable business.
• Being “in the room” with your community to foster deeper relationships and opportunities.
• Avoiding a codependent relationship with customers by charging appropriately for your services.
• The realization that marketing and promoting a product is as important as the product itself.
• Tips for engaging your audience in the creation process to build buy-in and excitement.

... and so much more!
