In this episode, we're addressing one of THE biggest hangups preventing most RD entrepreneurs from moving forward: VICTIM MINDSET.

You can't be a victor and a victim at the same time, so if you want to prosper in your business, you must release the victim mindset. You are never a victim to your circumstances...ever. But this is a very sneaky and insidious mindset because you may believe your circumstances are so true to the point that you don't believe you have control over them. Not true, my friend!

• 5 Ways you could be living with a victim mindset
• The reason asking yourself "How" is more powerful than asking yourself "Why"
• How to increase self-confidence to do the things that'll move your business forward
• How to reframe "the fear of failure" in a way that's more empowering

In this episode, I'm giving you my professional opinion on the difference between the mindset of business ownership vs the mindset of entrepreneurship.

In order to be taken seriously as the CEO of your business (and to take YOURSELF seriously), you have to claim business ownership. You have to clearly identify as a business owner. If you only identify as a dietitian, you're hurting your business financially.

• The definition of "Business Owner" 
• The definition of "Entrepreneur"
• The importance of embodying business ownership vs entrepreneurship
• Why it's important to think like a business owner FIRST, dietitian SECOND in your nutrition business

In this episode, you’ll learn more about money objections and how to overcome them from a MINDSET perspective.

We all experience money objections at one point or another in our businesses. It's a part of being a business owner. It's also a part of the human decision-making process. The key to dealing with these objections is managing your MIND.

• Why attaching your self-worth to your work is harmful 
• What "No" really means, most of the time
• Why I'm not an advocate of the traditional way of overcoming objections
• What your job is in your business to help a potential client make the decision that's best for them

In this episode, you’ll learn to provide VALUE to your potential clients, even before they decide to work with you.

Providing value to your community of potential clients is an integral part of being a business owner. Remember the "pink spoon" at the local 31 Flavors ice cream shop? They allowed you to taste before you bought the flavor of your choice. And you should do the same in your business if you want clients to have the path of least resistance when it comes to deciding to hire you.

• Why providing results AHEAD OF TIME is an important business-building skill 
• Examples of how you can provide value ahead of time
• The decision-making process before buying or hiring someone
• Why it's okay to give some things away for free (yep, I said it!)
• Free workshops vs paid workshops (and why both are okay to do in your business)

In this episode, you’ll learn more about how to overcome the fear of asking for money.

If you have resistance around asking for money in your business, you won't have a business for long. As a dietitian, you're likely a natural helper and healer at heart. However, you can't forget that your passion to help is also your livelihood, so if asking to get paid for your services is so hard that you don't, you'll stay broke working for the bare minimum.

• Why you don't need to be confident to ask for money in the beginning 
• Why I don't tell my clients what to charge for their services
• The importance of adding value way BEFORE you ask potential clients for money
• Why you shouldn't fear "giving it all away for free" before someone signs up to work with you
• Why you should stop offering "one-off" sessions and package your services instead
