The Healthpreneur Show with Yuri Elkaim

What’s up, Healthpreneurs! It’s another awesome day on the Healthpreneur Podcast. Thank you for joining us! Today I’m going to tell the story of a terrible sales experience I had while visiting Morocco with my family. This experience was the epitome of what NOT to do if you want your customers walking away from a sale feeling good.  

Today’s topic is reciprocity. You may have heard that it can be a good thing, and that’s true. It can be. The problem arises when reciprocity is used to guilt or pressure someone into buying because they are made to feel like they “owe” you. Not nice.  

In today’s episode, I’m going to use my experience in Morocco to illustrate just how bad the sales tactic of reciprocity can be – so you can make sure you never do it in your own business. Tune in to find out the genuine ways to provide value to your audience so they are happy to become clients...and won’t want a refund later.

It’s another great day on the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today I’m speaking with Dr. Lori Shemek, a best-selling author, radio show host, and weight loss expert. She holds a doctorate in Psychology, she is a certified Nutritional Consultant, and she’s also a certified Life Coach.  

Early in her career, Lori was a counselor. But when she realized how big an impact diet shifts made on her client’s health, she pursued something greater that married the two. Lori has made it her mission to help as many people as possible and spread the word about inflammation and its effects on overall health.  

Lori and I will reflect on her background and how she transitioned into what she is doing today. We’ll also discuss her two books and her experience with both traditional and self-publishing. Tune in if you want to write a book, if you’re curious about how to start podcasting, and if you want some pro-tips on how to consistently spread your message.  

In this episode, Lori and I discuss: 

• Where her inspiration to help people came from. 
• The results she saw in her clients when she incorporated nutrition. 
• Publishing vs. self-publishing outlets pros and cons. 

•  The road to optimal health. 
• A new podcasting platform called Anchor Radio. 

4:00 – 9:00 - Lori’s “why” and how she combined psychology with nutrition  

9:00 – 13:30 - Lori’s books, how they’ve impacted her business, and the publishing process

Welcome to episode 91 of the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today, I’m chatting with Dr. Andra Campitelli about all things entrepreneurial naturopath (because you’ve got to be both!), and some things that are not so naturopathic – like Sour Jujubes and snuggling up next to your laptop. She says it best: “Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed.” 

Dr. Andi is a leading naturopath, media expert, educator, writer, and speaker, and she is well-received by clients for her practical, evidence-based, and down-to-earth care.  She is the CEO, co-founder, and formulator of Plan C, a supplement produced because, well, no one likes a hangover. 

Tune in to hear Dr. Andi and I discuss how she has used public speaking to grow her business and establish her brand. She gives great insight on the need to redefine what “failure” means as an entrepreneur, and gives invaluable advice for those who are feeling uninspired or who aren’t seeing the results they want in their business. This is an excellent listen for Healthpreneurs who want to boost their client’s results and their business in the process. 

In this episode, Andra and I discuss: 

• The work it takes to launch a business.  
• Redefining failure.  
• The need to protect yourself. 

• Public speaking to build your business.  
• Giving your clients what they need, not what you want.

Happy Monday and welcome to another solo round of the Healthpreneur Podcast! I hope you are having a great day, and guess what? It’s about to get a whole lot better because I’m going to teach you the three business models that will bleed your business dry.  

These three things will literally suck the life out of your business, especially if you don’t have a large following yet. Yes, you might see others successfully implementing these three models, but the key is to set up your predictable revenue first. Otherwise, you’ll spend time and money on launches, content, and organic marketing and...do you hear that? Crickets.   

 By first focusing on your Perfect Client Pipeline, you’ll guarantee conversions so you don’t have to go insane hoping for the best from unpredictable models. I’m going to walk you through the three business models to avoid – at least until you’ve got steady, predictable revenue and can afford to explore these riskier and timelier models. Luckily, the Perfect Client Pipeline will eventually run and generate leads for you. Tune in to learn how to that point a whole lot sooner than if you work backwards and bleed out your business before it gets the chance to thrive.  

2:00 – 8:30 - #1: Why launches will bleed your business  

8:30 – 10:30 - Launches, summits, and the back-end work involved  

10:30 – 14:30 - #2: Why content marketing will bleed your business  

14:30 – 20:00 - The lag in traction time and the benefit of a good platform  

20:00 – 23:30 - #3: Why spray and pray marketing doesn’t work 

23:30 – 25:30 - The online training that’ll grow your business

Welcome back to the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today on the podcast we have another incredible interview. I’ll be interviewing Lori Kennedy, RHN, the founder of The Wellness Business Hub and fellow Torontonian.  

When she worked full-time as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, she realized that she lacked the fundamental skills to start up and run a business – you know, the things they don’t teach you in school. After hard lessons learned and money spent on mentorship, growth, and knowledge, Lori has created a business that is changing the game for entrepreneurs in the health space who want to reclaim their time and take control of their business. 

Lori and I will be discussing her frustrations with one-on-one coaching, how her offering evolved to include group coaching, and why she believes everything starts with good copywriting. She’ll also dive into her first sales funnel and process, which is very much like the one she uses today. If you’re feeling burnt out by one-on-one coaching, need some tips to make more consistent income, or are looking for a way to transition into group coaching, this will be an extremely valuable episode for you.  

In this episode, Lori and I discuss: 

• When 1-on-1 coaching doesn’t work. 
• What happens when your process is streamlined. 
• The two tiers of education. 

• Copywriting to success. 
• Offering both group and 1-on-1 programs – and how it can work. 

4:00 – 9:30 - How and why Lori transitioned from one-on-one to group programs 

9:30 – 13:00 - Her legit sales funnel, streamlined process, and repeatable system 

13:00 – 18:00 - The importance of email lists, self-investment, self-teaching, and mentorship 

18:00 – 23:00 - Copywriting as a necessary skillset 

23:00 – 29:00 - How to move from one-on-one to group programs, or have both effectively 

29:00 – The Rapid Five
