                In this episode of the OT's After Freedom podcast, Beki Eakins, Business Mindset and Lifestyle Coach for Occupational Therapists, discusses the importance of taking risks in the journey of building a successful online business.

                Beki emphasizes the pitfalls of playing safe and the need for a balance between safety and risk-taking. Sharing her own experiences and client stories, she illustrates how those willing to make mistakes and learn from them can achieve faster results.

                The episode also covers common fears OTs face, such as investing in themselves, and the high cost of time wasted on ineffective strategies.

                Beki advocates for investing in coaching and mentorship to accelerate growth and attain life-changing results. She invites interested OTs to reach out for guidance on designing, launching, and scaling their businesses.
