With all the jargon out there in the health and fitness industry, it is easy to be caught up in the crazy cycle of crash dieting, which is just not sustainable.

In todays episode we are going to cover off on some big MYTHS when it comes to health.

Things like:

* The BMI calculator – is it the be all and end all when it come to our recommended weight?

* Everybody should eat like a caveman! ( not really but that’s what they say

How are you giving back to you?

At my sons school they teach the children to fill their cup up and to make sure their actions are filling up their friends cups. I LOVE THIS so much that I have borrowed it:)

It is a perfect way to think about our own self care. If we have an empty cup, we are no good to anybody, particularly ourselves.

This week we go through some tips on how to find out what tools to add to your special BALANCE toolbox and also ways to fill up your cup.

PLUS if you haven’t already, make sure you join our special and private Facebook group, Balance Me Project, that is helping empower women through anxiety and overwhelm.

Make sure you reach out and connect if you would like any special assistance on your journey.

In a busy world, it’s so important to have a list of activities that help you create more balance, and for many people, gardening is at the top of that list.

Finding the right coach or mentor can sometimes feel like you are shifting through piles of empty promises.

We’ve all seen those social media posts that claim, “I have earned six figures in my first month. Work with me and I’ll show you how too!”. Some of these claims may be true but often they are smoke and mirror to attract you to them based on a dollar figure.

So many things wrong with this tactic – but to be honest I’m pretty sure you know them already

Don’t you think its crazy that we are wasting millions a year on ‘paper work’ for  silly things within our government, but when it comes to our HEALTH and WELLBEING there is a huge gap of priority?

Well, this week I’m on my soapbox about it…….

As you know, I am super passionate about creating a balanced lifestyle and helping busy business women create new habits and start taking back their lives.

Recently I started to plan my Balanced Business Blueprint sessions and I had a bit of a lightbulb moment. For me, I know how I felt working in a high stressed, high paced business and also in my own, but I wanted to put it out their to other women who had come from environments.

So, I created a survey (feel free to have your say here) and offers some amazing women for different professions, the opportunity to have their say.

Now, these gorgeous women range from teachers, retail assistant, hospitality, banking and of course business owners. The most common factor in all of these informative responses, was that no matter what job you work in, stress and anxiety are overwhelming.

As a society, we struggle with the BUSY and we aren’t shown the tools that can allow us to get through it. Instead it is slightly pushed under the carpet and we just keep pushing through.

I feel that in 2017, we are in a new age where we are paying more attention. Things like lifestyle, health and quality of life are really starting to push through those old habits. But, is it enough to really make a big difference?

That is where we come in. By changing our habits and encouraging our children and our workplace to do the same, we are starting our own ripple effect. A ripple effect so powerful that eventually it will just be as common as handing someone a tissue when they sneeze.

By changing the culture of the workplace, we can also help manage mental health issues, obesity, low productivity and lose of money due to sickness.

So, this is my soap box today

Whether you are just starting out in business or you have been going strong for a while, it’s important to make sure you have strong business foundations. To often I see amazing clients, who have amazing businesses but their framework has never been set up correctly.

Unfortunately this leads to anxiety, overwhelm and sometimes failing business.

I like to think of building your business, like building an actual business. You need a strong base for the building and then great structure to help keep the business growing tall and strong.

In this episode we are going to go through some of my basic steps to ensure no matter what stage you are at in your business, you have a healthy and strong framework to keep building on.

We cover off on –

* Start mapping out WHAT you want to achieve, WHY you want to achieve it and of course HOW you are going to achieve it.

* Ensure you have a strong systems framework – Banking, accounting, email marketing and even your social media presence are all apart of your strong framework.

* WHO is your ideal client an WHERE are your clients at? – This is a great one to review at any stage of your business. Things change so often in business and even with our own personal development. this means that our WHO and WHERE can change often. Always great to check in with this and make sure you are still showing up where you need too.

* Start connecting with the RIGHT people – If you are looking to grow your business in a certain area, then. you need to start connecting with people in that area. E.g. you want to start working with corporate businesses, then start connecting with the right people in those corporate offices.

 

These are just the basics…..And some o the most common steps I see my clients missing.

Trust me I could go on all day

When starting out in our business, we focus on getting the basic framework set up but often overlook the most important of things, such as getting our legals sorted.

This week I am joined by Creative Business Lawyer & Mentor Michelle Marie Whitehead as we chat about some must know points when it comes to legals for your business.

We cover off on-

– Regulations for people in the health industry. e.g. What you can and can’t say.

– Creating product agreements, terms & conditions and privacy policy

– What to look for if you decided to create your own contracts

– Where to find the support you need when you are ready to get professionally covered

I loved this interview with Michelle as we covered off on so many great topics that I wish I had of know when I was just starting out in the health and wellness industry.

You can find out more about Michelle and the way she can help assist you with your legal needs, by heading to her Facebook page.
