The Business of Becoming

Wow! This episode is GOLD! I strongly recommend that you download it and re-listen anytime you need some tough love and to get your mind right around what it really means to be an entrepreneur and successful health professional.

Dr. Meghan Walker returns to the podcast this week to talk about the mindset traits and shifts she and I believe are necessary to make it as an entrepreneur in the health and wellness space (or any space really). We really are friends in real life and have had numerous conversations about the state of the industry and the mindset of practitioners given the messaging and “gurus”. The goal of this episode is to make sure everyone has correct expectations about what it’s actually like to build and grow a business.

We talk about the difference between many of the illusions health professionals start off with about entrepreneurship and the reality of it. We talk about mindset around money, sales and owning your value and potential for transformation in order to be successful and have the impact you so deeply desire.

We remind you that it’s not serving anyone, certainly not your clients, if you are constantly worried about paying your rent and feeling burned out because you haven’t protected yourself and your time. Like I said, you’re going to want to download this one and listen to it anytime a reminder is needed.

This conversation is packed with goodness and because we have SO much more to say on the subject, Meghan is a featured speaker at the upcoming Wellness Business Summit in June, 2019. At the summit, she’s going to go into practical and actionable strategies for clinicians and health practitioners who want to build and scale successful businesses without burning themselves out. Grab your tickets to join us in person HERE, and do it soon because prices are going up on January 31st, 2019.

I’m joined by Amanda and Laura from FIT CHICKS, where we learn how they followed their passion and overcame their fears to build a successful business.

We also talk about why you need to invest in your mind as much as you do in your business, and why there’s no such thing as overnight successes (hint: It’s all about persistence in the journey).

If I had a quarter for every time someone in my community used the word overwhelm to describe how they were feeling, my piggy bank would be bursting at the seems! But that also hurts my heart, because although building and growing your online health business is A LOT, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming and it certainly doesn’t have to burn you out.

In this episode I’m joined by Dr. Samantha Brody who is a licensed naturopathic physician and recently published author of the book, Overcoming Overwhelm: Dismantle Your Stress From the Inside Out to share with you some very specific strategies and tips she uses with her clients and in her own life to overcome overwhelm.

She reminds us that one of the first steps is to get really clear on our values and what is truly important to us so that we can reframe things and keep more perspective on where to give our energy and time.

Even if you think you’ve heard it all on this topic, I encourage you to listen as Dr. Samantha provides a fresh take on mindset, stress and overcoming overwhelm. Be sure to share it with friends and family that need to hear this message too. You can download an excerpt from her book HERE as well as the FREE Values Worksheet she mentions during the interview HERE.

You can totally make 10k a month in your health business. It’s true. But you likely won’t be able to do it selling one off sessions to clients, and it’s not your fault if that’s what you’ve been doing, because that’s what you were taught to do.

Well, I’m here to teach you a new way of thinking and operating. A system that you can follow to consistently make 10K a month in your health business. And, before you disqualify yourself thinking that it’s not possible for one reason or another, please hear me out and keep an open mind.

I know these steps work. Because I’ve used them myself to build a multi 7-figure business and we have taught dozens and dozens of clients in our 10K Success Program how to implement them too with awesome results!

Be sure to download the FREE workbook that accompanies this and episode 91. It’s best to download it now so you can refer to it as you listen.

Ok are you ready? The method is actually pretty simple. Here’s the challenging part - having the discipline to follow through and stick to the system instead of chasing down shiny object after shiny object. You with me?

This is may be the most honest and open conversation I’ve had to date on the podcast, and it was such an honour to have it with Ashley Srokosz. We get deep and personal (cause that’s how we roll!) and talk about how Ashley has built a business and life on her own terms and about the bumpy, winding road it took to get there.

Ashley shares her personal evolution as a entrepreneur, from a “typical” holistic nutritionist doing individual coaching and group programs, to shifting into business coaching and blowing up her business by incorporating essential oils into the mix.

We also talk a lot about managing anxiety when you’re building and growing a business and how to be a leader that’s expected to show up and be “on” all the time, and how to do things on your own terms that will support you and your clients vs. burning you out.

I’m certain you’re going to really connect with Ashley’s story in one way or another, she shares the human and messy side of building a business and life with intention and I can’t wait to hear what you think.

Pull up a chair, grab a glass of whatever is your preference because this is a conversation that I’m really excited to have and was honoured that Joy McCarthy agreed to have have it with me. I think It’s so important for women to share the truth about what it takes to achieve success, as well as have an open conversation about what success even means and looks like.

Also, I’m super nosey and LOVE to hear about what goes on behind the scenes with successful people, couples that work together, mompreneuring, etc. Joy McCarthy from Joyous Health, shares the evolution of her business and brand. What it was like to grow her team (including her husband) and how things have changed since she became a mother.

We talk about ambition and the myth that still seems to be out there in the online space that success can be quick and easy, and we share what the reality has been for us (HINT: Not quick and easy!) It’s about playing the long game and building each day on what you learn and the progress you make. As Joy says, everything you do today will help you tomorrow.

Whatever stage of business that you’re in, I’m sure you’ll hear something in this conversation that connects with you.

If you’re leaving 2018 feeling less than satisfied with how things have played out, or crushed it and are ready to level up even more - I highly recommend you take a listen to this episode.

I’m certain wherever you’re at you’ll hear a reminder that is exactly right for you to support you to continue to work on a growth mindset both personally and for your business.

It’s so important to me that you understand the personal work is never done AND it’s the most important work you’ll do to achieve the business and life you so deeply desire. It’s the Becoming more of who you truly are. Because if you want your life to be different, than you have to be different, and it all starts with your mindset.

So as we say goodbye to 2018 and head into a new year we’ve pulled together some of our favourite episodes of the past year that will support you to Become more of who you really are. We talk about visioning, investing in yourself, self-care as an entrepreneur, what it really means to be happy and more.

Even if you’ve already listened to every episode of the podcast, I encourage you to still hit play on this one. Remember, it can take many repetitions of the same message before it really lands for us and each time we hear a thing we’re in a different space and mindset in regards to our business and personally, so I’m certain you’re going to get some sweet takeaways from this.

I’m not suggesting that you need to do ALL of these things right now, my advice is always - Take what you need and leave the rest. Know that these episodes and lessons are here for you when you’re ready for them.

I’ve created the community I wished for when I was first starting out

Years ago when I was first starting out I found it near impossible to find others, especially women, that were on a similar path to me.

I felt like an outsider and wondered if something was wrong with me. Having big, audacious goals and dreams didn’t feel “normal” and it was hard to find a place where I really felt like I belonged.

As I’ve created my programs, building a community was at the forefront of my vision. I wanted to create a place where ambitious health and wellness professionals could gather and share the Truth (with a capital T) about what it’s like to want to have massive impact AND want to make a shit ton of money (because you can totally do both).

I think about this community and the communities I’ve curated on Facebook a lot. So, it was super fun to sit down with David White on his podcast a few months back to share with him my definition of community, why it’s SO very important to me to nurture my community and how it goes WAY beyond sales and client relationships.

I enjoyed the conversation so much that I asked David if I could share it with my people too, so here it is!

More About David

David’s focus is on inspiring, teaching and motivating other health professionals to take the plunge, go full-scale online with an arsenal of tools to build a massive following, get their information and methods in the hands of MILLIONS of people, and get paid for it. He helps health professionals to find a starving audience who needs your help, show them that you actually can get results for them, and then put your products and services in front of them in a kind and empathetic manner that doesn't twist anyone's arm, or sound like you're auctioning a house. Connect with David via his website and listen to his podcast, The Business of Health.
