Lactation Business Coaching with Annie and Leah

Bonus Rebroadcast | Launching Your Lactation Business


Listen Later




In this rebroadcast of our first episode of Lactation Business Coaching, hosts Annie Frisbie IBCLC and Leah Jolly IBCLC talk about the unique challenges of starting a business as a private practice lactation consultant. 


They go into how hard it is to charge money for something you’d do for free and how to make peace with the inevitable expenses involved in starting a business. Leah and Annie know how much you want to be both compassionate and financially viable because they face this tension in their own private practices.


“No one is going to take you as seriously in your business as you take yourself”


In this episode, we will cover:


  • How starting a business has challenges, especially when you’re coming from a volunteer background, but they’re nothing you can’t handle, with the right guidance and resources.
  • The importance of investing the time and the money now to create a solid foundation because that’s what’s going to bring you financial viability and joy.
  • How you can have it all: a business that works and the deep satisfaction that comes from helping families meet their breastfeeding goals.
  • How to turn downtime into marketing time
  • Why you shouldn’t just put yourself out there and hope for the best. Your future self will be much happier if you take the time now to lay a firm foundation.
