In this episode Tami Stackelhouse and Heather chat about her journey from a fibromyalgia patient to a fibromyalgia coach. Tami shares the reward and challenges of moving from a solo entrepreneur/coach to training and running a team of coaches.
“What I charge is actually part of how I help my clients. It means they are more committed, they are going to get better results and they are going to show up to their coaching calls. And if I don't charge enough money then it is easy for them to blow that off, not do the work and not get the results. Is that actually helping them? No I don't think it is." - Tami Stackelhouse

Hire a coach. If you are ready for more and you not sure where to go, or what to do, or how to get it. Find someone who can be your tour guide, because you don't know what you don't know. And sometimes you need someone who is farther a head on the path to show you the path.”
