Wellness is Wealth with Nicole Chetaud

In my 12+ years of consulting with entrepreneurs in the wellness/yoga/fitness industry, there are 5 very common myths that come up repeatedly in my conversations. In this episode, I'll dispel the myths that lead entrepreneurs down a path of decreased revenue, low attendance, financial issues, and lack of success. They are not complicated or difficult to remedy, but knowledge is power. And with knowledge you have the choice to change!

5 Common Myths 

1. Everyone knows where I'm located AKA I don't need to market, there will be organic growth

2. I have enough signage AKA people will know what I do and who I serve automatically

3. My drop in needs to be cheap or free in order to attract people 

4. Sales just happens naturally, I'm uncomfortable selling, and other issues around how people buy

5. My membership needs to be the most expensive option I offer because people will come every day, or 12-10x a month

I've known about affirmations for years, courtesy of my insatiable appetite for personal growth and human potential content! I think I may have first heard of them when "The Secret" came out circa early 90's, and like many, I started applying the "law of attraction" principles outlined in the movie which included affirmations. However, I've found over the last 10 years of seemingly non stop insurmountable health/wellness challenge in my and my daughter's life, that affirmations don't cut it (at least, not the way they are taught in "The Secret"). 

Instead, I've used affirmations as a way to commit to a goal, an outcome that I want to achieve. I define my "why" behind it, and I don't give myself another option for it NOT to happen. It's more that I see no other choice than to keep pursuing action, thoughts, knowledge, resources etc..to lead me closer to my goal, whether it's wellness, career, love, home...you get the idea.

In the meantime, try affirmations with the statement, "I commit to ......because.....there is no other option, no matter what" and see how things start changing as you take inspired action along with affirming your commitments.

What is client retention? 

It's when your clients come back and stay with you, keep practicing, booking services, attending your workshops and retreats, sign up for Teacher Training, referring friends/family/coworkers etc....

Keeping your clients is another critical piece to business success. As they start with a package or membership, they get to know you and your business, they connect with other people who go to your business, they see / feel physical and mental benefits, then that leads them to:

1. Buy your retail

2. Sign up for workshops, retreats, courses

3. Attend Teacher Training $$$

4. Join more exclusive memberships (or your main one if they are on a package)

5. Refer everyone they know because what you are offering CHANGES THEIR LIVES

You get the picture? 

When they come in the door, that's the beginning of a lifetime of loyalty and revenue and connection!

Many of the entrepreneurs I coach in the wellness/fitness space do not retain their clients. At some point, clients "fall off" or go to a competitor or move or just stop coming. There are many reasons for this, and some you won't expect. Learn how to retain your clients in this episode using strategies and practices that have helped thousands of entrepreneurs just like you.

In this episode you’ll learn all about my path to practicing yoga which started at age 19 in a community college recreation room at Cabrillo College in Aptos, CA and ultimately led me to becoming a 500+ hour double certified yoga instructor and world renowned business consultant/ presenter in the yoga and fitness world for MINDBODY.

For 30 years, yoga has been the through line of my life. When I say it’s transformed me in every way, it's not an understatement. In this episode, you’ll understand the physical, mental and emotional impact it has had and continues to have as I move through life. 

I hope it resonates with you and also inspires you to practice!

Please share with a friend or family member, on social media, and tag me! I'd love to hear from you as well.

So, as promised- Gigi has a happy ending to her seizure journey! Listen in as I pick up where I left off in Part 1 where we discovered her “gelastic” seizures were due to a non cancerous harmatoma deep inside the brain. 

I start this episode with a funny story about how I found her life-saving surgeon and team through one of my first blind dates in over 8 years! I also share the experience from diagnosis, to meeting her new team, to tests, to the actual surgery and recovery. 

Finally, you’ll hear about my daughter’s courageous sharing of the disorder through a presentation to her third grade class, thanks to her remarkable teaching team at her wonderful elementary school. 

Please do share this episode with anyone who may be in Gigi’s situation. 

She is a success story, when it looked very bleak. 

We both share her journey in the hopes that it helps others get assistance and recovery faster.

Have you ever wanted to try something new that would require you to be more visible and vulnerable?

Have you felt afraid to put your story, your gifts, your struggles, or your journey out there for the world to see / hear?

I definitely have. And yet, I have felt absolutely called to host a podcast for nearly 3 years (since 2019) while in the midst of a harrowing health challenge and over 30 debilitating symptoms. 

The person who 100% inspired me to do it messy, to try, to share my journey, to put myself out there, to serve and to just do it already is Cathy Heller. For almost 4 years, this woman with her motivational, heartfelt, truly helpful podcast, "Don't Keep Your Day Job" has changed my life. She is a life coach in my pocket. She is the one I listen to every single morning as I make my first cup of coffee, when I'm in the shower, in the car, and when I can walk. In early 2019, I started to have severe migraines out of nowhere which quickly morphed into 30+ horrific, life altering symptoms in the course of 3 years. It was during this time that I discovered Cathy's podcast and became a podcast junky. Although my current wellness journey is so incredibly challenging (words don't do it justice), I felt absolutely CALLED to share it via podcast, because podcasts are what have changed my life in so many ways.

Listen in as I share why I started Transcend thru Wellness the podcast and Instagram channel, as well as my inspiration (Cathy Heller) to just DO IT NOW!

If I can do it from this less than 100% healthy place with an iPhone, old headphones, Canva, Anchor and a photo - so can you!

One of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face is hiring right staff, right fit, for the right role in order to get the appropriate support they need. More often than not, "any warm body" meaning a friend, instructor, or member gets put into the role asap due to desperation! This never goes well. It's a problem of wrong fit for the role. 

In this episode, learn how to hire and attract the right support people into the right roles that will support you and your business fully. This allows YOU to step into a position you enjoy, instead of doing everything in your business which always leads to resentment, burn out, and frustration. It's also one of the critical pieces to business success and increased revenue. As you get the right people to support you and your business, the revenue keeps rolling in, your clients continue to return and refer, and you get to focus on what you love to do. Win/Win!

Vulnerable sharing episode!  

This was hard for me to share, and yet it's such a critical part of my growth and life story, that I needed to put it out there in the hopes that it will not only motivate you to move on that next dream/idea/goal NOW, but also if you find yourself in the same situation, that you get help more quickly than I did. 

This is my story of how I went from super, ultra healthy yoga instructor/consultant with a full social life and my own business raising my teen daughter as a single mom in Marin County, California to becoming completely, 100% disabled in less than 3 years.  Over 30 doctors (functional and allopathic) 6 emergency room visits 2 MRI's 5 specialist consults 80 lab tests taken, Over 100K in medical bills, supplements, and medicine trials  ....and NO ONE could tell me what my 40+ symptoms was for 3 years!  Find out how I figured out my own diagnosis through listening to podcasts 24/7 for 3 months. How I had to relentlessly advocate for myself, seek out expert knowledgable providers on my team to discover what the root cause was to my mysterious chronic "out of nowhere" illness.

How do you cope when a devastating, life changing event completely disrupts your life on every level for 3 years?  We all have ways in which we heal, cope, find support, move through, and hopefully, overcome challenge. For many of us, it's fitness/wellness practices and that's the reason we became instructors/providers and/or opened a business in this space.  

It was SO life changing when we needed a life change! 

But what happens when all of your coping habits (hiking, spin, skiing, yoga, social events, travel) get taken away SUDDENLY through no fault of your own? 

Your world is turned upside down, and nothing is the way it was less than a month ago? 

What do you do then? 

In this episode, I get honest and share the resources that help me navigate my current personal ongoing health journey that contribute to my wellness. I hope it inspires and motivates you.

When was the last time you started your morning with a stream of positive thoughts? 

Are you aware of what you are thinking, as you are thinking it, when you look in the mirror? 

Honestly, life is so busy it's difficult sometimes to notice what we are saying to ourselves all day, every day. 

Especially as we are looking in the mirror getting ready for our day, it's pretty common to have a loop of thoughts that are less than helpful. What a way to begin your morning!

Our thoughts affect our habits, our habits affect our behavior, which affects our choices, which is ultimately how life happens for us. In this episode, I talk about the endless loop of thoughts which are ingrained and automatic, that typically flow through our minds when we look in the mirror and how we change them to be more uplifting, supportive, kind and positive. It can be uncomfortable and feel strange to speak kindly to ourselves at first, but that's because these habits are strong and it's probably been YEARS of the same thoughts we are trying to undo. 

Listen in as I talk about easy ways to change your thoughts as you start your day, my hacks (I struggle too!), and a simple way to calm your nervous system that takes less than 10 seconds.
