“When I quit my day job, I’ll be so much less stressed!”“I can’t wait till I’m doing my business full time – I’ll get so much done!”“My job makes me miserable! When I quit I’ll be so much happier!”Have you ever said any of these? I used to. While I was working in my corporate job and doing my business on the side, I was completely focused on that one single moment when I could finally quit my day job, and do my own business full-time. It seemed like my day job was just getting in the way of my success. If only I could quit, then I’d be less stressed, happier, get so much done and have total freedom!”But while leaving my day job was a huge moment for me and a major achievement – in retrospect – the grass wasn’t quite as green as I’d been hoping.Following on from all the beta program interviews I did with people in the wellpreneur community, I heard the ‘when I quit my day job’ comment come up over and over again. In this episode I’ll break down 4 common misconceptions about quitting your day job – and the real

Success stories of real Wellpreneurs who started out just like us are so helpful when we’re trying to get our own business off the ground. This week I have another behind-the-scenes look into a successful online business and how it has developed, and I think you’ll get a lot of ideas and inspiration from it!Heather Rampolla started with a corporate career that she loved, but the fast pace was taking a toll on her health. It wasn’t until her husband suggested a raw foods diet for his own health that she reluctantly decided to give it a try, and she discovered huge improvements in her life. She learned so much about health during this period that she knew she had to share it with other people.After starting her business there were a number of twists and turns, as she discovered some of her initial plans weren’t completely aligned with her passion and personal definition of success. She tells us about how she changed her niche, what she learned from coaches, and other challenges that eventually led to the succes

In today’s episode, I hope to get all of you inspired to grow your wellness business with an in-depth interview that goes into the details of how to start out strong and grow your business quickly!Health counselor Tracy Harrison serves as a great example for new Wellpreneurs – from the very beginning she just went for it and put herself out there, and her business thrived as a result. She took some bold steps to commit to her new path, ended up doing 30 public speaking engagements in her first year of business, and worked with over 20 clients before she even finished her coaching training program!We talk about how she got her clients from speaking gigs, how she transitioned her in-person clients to virtual sessions, and one of my favorite topics – your email newsletter, how to take advantage of it, and why it should be one of your top priorities!What you’ll learn in this episode:How to create a virtual wellness business that thrivesHow to use speaking engagements and your email newsletter to get new clientsWh

Many of us remember being told during health coach training about the importance of giving talks to get new clients – I know I heard it repeatedly: “Give talks! Give talks!” But does this approach really work? Maybe you’re giving talks already and it’s not getting the results you expected. Or maybe you’re terrified of speaking.Today’s guest is Alysa Rushton, a health coach and a public speaking coach. Alysa started out in her corporate career teaching presentation and public speaking skills before becoming a health coach. Although she initially struggled to get her business off the ground (even her speaking gigs didn’t go as well as planned!) she eventually figured out the formula for a booming practice through giving strategic, targeted talks. Her success generated enough interest that she later transitioned into public speaking coaching, specifically for other coaches.Today Alysa will be sharing a lot of secrets about how to speak effectively to generate clients, and she’ll reveal her personal journey from

Leveraging online marketing for an in-person business is really hot topic among wellpreneurs, and today’s guest has come up with a great solution – she’s created an online community that does the promotion for her!Laurie Villarreal’s business is an offline, in-person running and marathon training program called House of Running. She built an online Facebook community around it to help her members feel more connected to each other, but she finds that the community also helps her! By providing content on Facebook that is easily sharable, her members spread the word about House of Running and bring in new clients, which provides viral marketing for her business.Laurie will explain how she set up her Facebook community, how she started in getting them actively engaged with each other, and how the group now functions well on its own, even without much management on her part.The fact that Laurie started her business in Amsterdam without even knowing the Dutch language also makes her a great example of following thr

Welcome to the third episode in our three-part series on virtual assistants! This is a hot topic in the wellness industry, because it allows you to scale your business and get the help you need without taking on a full-time employee. I've invited two different wellpreneurs to talk about their experience working with virtual assistants, who each work with VAs in slightly different ways. They'll also be sharing their tips and advice to help save you time so you can avoid some of the mistakes they've made.Tarah Long is an acupuncturist from Hawaii. She's been practicing for over 10 years, but has only started building her online business for the last year. Tara works with VAs on a project-by-project basis, which is helpful for getting the help you need as you need it, rather than on an ongoing basis.Our second guest is Robin Arutt from Full Potential Living, who works with a VA on an ongoing basis. She's learned that it's more efficient for her to work with a VA to fill the gaps in her ow
