The Healthpreneur Show with Yuri Elkaim

Today for our solo round on the Healthpreneur Podcast I’m going to be talking about polygamous entrepreneurship. If you’re confused as to what the heck this means, I’ll explain. 

Polygamous entrepreneurship is something that almost every entrepreneur deals with, and it’s often referred to as the shiny objecy syndrome. As entrepreneurs, we tend to be creative people, we like to get stuff going and create new things. And while that is an inherently good trait, it can often stab us in the back.

I’m going to talk about how you can learn to take a step back, avoid the rabbit holes, and focus on your business. You need to be clear on what direction you want to go with your business and develop that roadmap to get you there. If you don’t do that, you’ll end up wasting time getting distracted by all of the shiny objects out there. I can’t stress how important it is to make sure you’re in the proper mindset when it comes to your business, and I want to help you get there and stay there.

Today on the Healthpreneur podcast we’re going to explore the world of online coaching and fitness. If you’ve never heard of Jen Oliver, she helps transform mothers into mindful, self-loving, and balanced women through her company, Love Fitmama. 

Jen discovered that she was pushing herself too hard, and this culminated into debilitating injuries and stress. She realized that this “work-grind” paradigm is unhealthy, unsustainable, and, most importantly, unnecessary. She also discovered that we don’t need to continue defaulting into our cultural norms that create expectations around food and our bodies, especially as women. In fact, Jen discovered that by tapping into compassion, appreciation, and love, we turn inwards and discover our unique place that leaves us vitalized and happy rather than burnt out and unable to show up for life. 

If you’re a busy mother who’s feeling pain from a work/life imbalance, this episode will provide you with some invaluable information. If you find yourself feeling pain, stress, or overwhelm, you’ll discover that you really don’t have to. It is possible to balance a career and a family, and Jen has dissected the formula to do so while caring for yourself at the same time. Jen has learned by experience that the “grind” doesn’t work, and a shifted mindset is critical to pain-free life. As a parent, I related to Jen in so many ways. I think you will, too. 

In this episode, Jen and I discuss: 

• The pivotal moment in her life and how she tackled obstacles in her way. 
• Mindfulness and taking clients on the transformational journey. 
• Being an Healthpreneur parent: Critical lessons and finding that balance.  
• Online marketing techniques and how Jen reaches clients. 
• Shifting the paradigm through story, mission, example and purpose.

Today we’re getting into episode 61 of the Healthprenuer Podcast. Over 60 episodes, can you believe that? It seems like we started this podcast just the other day! Well, there are more to come where those 60 came from.

Today I am chatting with Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, who is a young physician—fresh out of med school—and he’s going to talk about his journey from brick-and-mortar to an online practice (with a lot of lessons learned thrown in). He is a board certified family medicine physician, but his medical doctrine is lifestyle-as-medicine—he tries to stay away from pharmaceuticals by having his patients lead healthy lifestyles. What a crazy idea, right?

The cool thing about Spencer is that he has a rabid social media following. At the moment, he has about 65,000 followers on Instagram, 25,000 followers on Facebook. And the key lesson he’s learned? It’s not about the number of followers you have, but how dedicated they are. So we’re going to dive into the marketing behind all of this and how you can work on getting a dedicated following—not just a big following—in your business.

In this episode, Spencer and I discuss: 

• The medical school grind 
• The unfortunate realities of working at a hospital 
• Spencer’s lifestyle-as-medicine doctrine 
• Why Spencer is known as “The Doc That Lifts” 
• The ridiculous number of certifications required for online doctors 
• Why it’s okay to develop strong opinions as a physician

It’s Monday and you know what that means—another solo round on the Healthpreneur Podcast. I hope you guys are having a great day, and it’s about to get better because I will be coaching you through how you can create the Perfect Client Pipeline.

What is the Perfect Client Pipeline? Well, it’s a method that I have perfected in my business and you can use it to attract ideal prospects to your business. Generating leads is a constant struggle for many entrepreneurs—and while generating leads is great, it’s also important that you generate the right leads. 

By creating a pipeline that attracts only the perfect, ideal clients for your business, you are getting guaranteed conversions. It’s simple, and I’m going to walk you through the three steps it takes to create this in your business. The best part about this pipeline? It is almost entirely automated, so you can get back to doing what you like to do in your business while the system keeps running and generating leads for you. 

Just a heads up—this is mainly aimed towards coaching businesses. If you are selling a product, you may not get too much out of this episode.

Today on the Healthpreneur podcast we’re going to jump into the ins and outs of the product-based business world with Kevin Gianni. If you’ve never heard of Kevin, he is the head visionary, CEO, and co-founder of Annmarie Skin Care, a hugely successful all-natural skin care line.

Kevin transitioned from a virtual business to a product-based business after traveling around in a “Kale Whale”...tune in to find out what that’s all about. In many ways, Kevin isn’t your traditional entrepreneur; he’s got an interesting stance on business plans, goals, and expectations that may surprise you. Despite having no experience in the world of product sales, Kevin has learned by experience and mistakes; even having kids has changed the way he conducts business.

If you’re an entrepreneur looking to get your nose into a product business, this episode will really hit home and provide you with some priceless wisdom. If you find yourself getting bored and wanting to start something new, you’ll find some much needed gems that’ll steer you in the right direction. There are some things that we often (painfully) learn by experience, and we’re going to talk about some ways that you can avoid some of these pain points for yourself. I related to Kevin in so many ways during this episode, and I think you will, too.

In this episode, Kevin and I discuss:

• Managing expectations, building business plans, and setting goals.
• The entrepreneur’s tendency to create excitement and “drama.”
• The differences between an information and product-based business.
• Challenges, mistakes, and advice for product-based business owners.

Today I am back on the podcast with another great interview. I’m going to be chatting with Laura Rimmer, the author of The Alkaline 5 Diet, who is a fellow Hay House author (like myself).

Laura has had an interesting journey. At one point, she was a smoker, she was overweight, unhealthy—and over the course of about ten years she became an ultra marathon runner. So, obviously she got pretty fit and healthy. That started her on the health and wellness path and today—outside of being an author—she is a natural health coach, plant-based nutritionist, and speaker. She is also a former medical research manager for the UK’s Health Organization, a qualified advanced gym instructor, and organizer of The Natural Health and Vitality Conference.

Clearly, she has a lot of qualifications and a ton of knowledge to share. We’ll be talking a lot about how she got her book published and how her business has evolved over the past couple of years. If you’re writing a book or even interested in writing a book, this is a must-listen episode. Outside of books, there are also a ton of nuggets about some recent changes we’ve seen in the world of online health businesses. So grab a notepad and tune in.

In this episode, Laura and I discuss:

• The story of publishing The Alkaline 5 Diet
• High touch, low volume
• Creating a business that fulfills you
• SEO challenges and the ever-changing Google algorithms
• Some excellent phone-selling tips
• Keeping your funnels simple
