In this timely episode, I chat with Business Coach to Health Coaches Karen Pattock all about navigating covid-19 - specifically, dealing with a less-than-stellar "launch" (of a program, offering, etc.).

Do we rework the strategy entirely?

More About Our Expert...

Lesli Bitel, MBA, RDN, LDN - marketing and sales expert. I work with entrepreneurial wellness professionals who are great at what they do but struggle with the business side of creating joyful and prosperous practices. In my work, I show my clients how to create their “dream business” by attracting loyal, committed clients; selling with authenticity; and scaling their businesses by creating diversified revenue streams including group coaching programs and digital courses. When I’m not helping practitioners run businesses that they love, I can be found doing Lagree workouts, exploring new travel destinations with my family or hiking with my Doodles, Rocky and Piper.⠀

Kyla Maki is a transformational coach who helps women with autoimmune illness transform their self-care so they can achieve their desired life without sacrificing their health.

In this conversation we discuss how self-care when running a business, especially a wellness business is crucial. Kyla explains how rest and taking time away from business is important to have the energy to help people. Often wellness entrepreneurs give so much that they forget to give to themselves. Another issue is when building a business (especially an online business we run from home) it can consume our life and we forget to do other things like have fun and visit friends or do hobbies.   

Erin Madden is a nutritionist, the Founder of Balance Meal Plans, Nutrition Educator, and now: the Nutrition Manager at Meal Garden. While she was studying nutrition at university, she became increasingly aware of the food she ate and how it affected her. She learned WHY and HOW food can support health, how our food is metabolized and it’s connections to the environment, and lifestyle factors, etc. Because many things contribute to our overall well-being, there is no set template for optimal health.

As one of the leads behind the recipes & meal plans our practitioners get access to at Meal Garden, she shares some juicy tips & insider tool tricks of the trade that you might not even know exist in app - but will be grateful once you do! This is a must listen for all of our Meal Garden Professionals who want to maximize their experience with the software.

Today on the show, he talks to us as health practitioners - and how we can use our blog & email list to our advantage to sell additional offerings (or simply better sell those we already are!).
