Brodie Welch is an acupuncturist, a holistic health counselor, and more! Brodie's wisdom on how she achieved success is something to pay attention to. I was very interested to hear from Brodie on how she came to the decision to expand her business. Brodie was very open throughout the interview and talked about some of the growing pains she has been having since making that decision. She is the perfect example of how you can take a one-to-one business model and convert it to a one-to-many. I hope you like the show and I always welcome feedback on what you think!

Key Insights & Aha Moments:

*Brodie was doing what she loved, but it was a little too much.

*Brodie moved to a town where she didn't know anybody.

*Going out and pursuing your personal interests and hobbies helps you meet new people. Tell them about what you do!

*People are problem-aware, but might not be solution-aware.

Maven Moment:

Brodie shared with us how she was able to grow her acupuncture practice very quickly and to create a consistent stream of leads in less than six months. How did she do it? Networking in her own community played a critical role to her success.

You can apply this as well, by selectively choosing your networking opportunities that place you in a manner that makes you shine! Instead of going to a networking event surrounded by other industry experts, branch out, go to a yoga class or join a book club and get more involved with the community.
