The Wellpreneur Podcast

Have you thought about creating an online program in your business but aren’t sure where to start? In this week’s advice-packed episode, Breanne Dyck tells us what really makes an effective online course (hint: it’s not giving more information!) that will keep your clients coming back for more. Breanne shares the 3 R’s that are essential for a successful online course, how giving LESS information is actually more valuable, and why you need to think about your ‘perfect participant’ when designing your program. You’ll want to have a notebook handy for this episode, and save it to listen again when you start creating your own online program.This episode originally aired on The Wellpreneur Podcast.Get the full show notes with links: https://wellpreneur.com/e115-create-online-program-breanne-dyck/Copyright 2012-2020 Wellpreneur Ltd.

Do you ever secretly hope that one day you’re just wake up – and voila! – your life will be exactly how you want it? Let me let you in on a little secret – that doesn’t happen. The path to the life of your dreams starts by bringing in little bits of that dream, every day, in even the smallest ways. In this week’s conversation with Elizabeth Duvivier of Squam Art Workshops, we talk about how she created her hugely popular art retreats and built a passionate community, while also creating the life she truly wanted to live. You’ll especially love her philosophy of “If it’s not a YES, it’s a no.” and her ritual of sacred mornings.“We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” – Joseph CampbellThis episode originally aired on The Wellpreneur Podcast.Get the full show notes with links: https://wellpreneur.com/e110-creativity-community-elizabeth-duvivier/Copyright 2012-2020 Wellpreneur Ltd.

While on an extended trip around South America, Nirali Mankodi and her husband Jag were inspired by the local superfoods they tasted. They had an idea to create a superfood subscription box in the UK — and when they got back home put their plan into action and started a business. So many of us have a great business idea – but far fewer actually take action to create the business – so I wanted to have Nirali on the show to share her story and how they got started. Today’s interview is a bit different as well because Superfoodio is a physical product – as opposed to the digital products and services we usually talk about. If you’ve ever dreamed about creating a food business or adding a physical product to your product mix, you’ll enjoy hearing about Nirali’s experiences!This episode originally aired on The Wellpreneur Podcast.Get the full show notes with links: https://wellpreneur.com/e94-creating-superfood-box-superfoodio/Copyright 2012-2020 Wellpreneur Ltd.
