The Wellness Business Show

At the start of every year, we decide on our resolutions, but a few days later, they've mostly faded from our minds, and we are still doing the same things we had been the year before. This is why instead of relying on well intentioned resolutions, I like looking back at the year that's just ended and making precise notes on what worked and what didn't, and how I can leverage both to make the next...

The wellness world has been embraced widely in the last two years, as (finally!) more people have felt the need to holistically care for themselves and those around them. As a result our clients and potential clients  are better informed and more ready and willing then ever to invest in themselves.  Even the corporate world has understood the importance of providing access to wellness for their em...

There is more than one path to a successful life.  You may have had a dream career in mind that never came to be, but there's a good chance that your journey towards that dream has put you on a path to an even better life. As entrepreneurs we are constantly comparing and judging our success against an ideal target. But as wellness entrepreneurs, we must remember that success must be balanced with...

It was by distributing fliers (remember those) and building a community of au...

Do you ever look at the mountain of tasks piling up and feel like you'll never catch up? "I'm terrible with time!" This is something many entrepreneurs tell themselves while juggling work, life, and a brand new business they're trying hard to grow. When we have poor time management - the busier we get, the more we hope to accomplish yet the more chaotic our life. Sound familiar? This is why I invi...

Entrepreneurs on social media talk about their teams all the time. It's clearly a support system that helps these businesses thrive.  You see these posts and videos, and wonder how nice it would be to have a team like that.  But you're not at that place yet. Or maybe you don't really want an actual team of people to manage. So how can you get the real benefits of having a team dedicated to your wo...

Do you ever worry that your business will grind to a halt if you have to step away for a bit? Or maybe collapse entirely? You're not alone. Every small business owner has this fear.

But you imagine that eventually you'd stop feeling this way, right?  Well, I can tell you that I had to go thr...

Wellness business owners have to be on social media more than ever now.  It brings us exposure to new clients across the world.  But it also comes with a cost.  Which is why I wanted to talk to someone who uses holistic practises daily to offset the potential negative energies that can come from spending hours on Instagram. In this episode of The Wellness Entrepreneur Podcast , I speak with Lauren...

When a client hesitates to invest in your programme or service even though it's exactly what they're searching for, you may start to second guess your offer.  Is the price really too high? Maybe your package doesn't offer as much value as you thought it did? Stop right there.  That's not the way to think about this objection! I decided to price the membership of The Collective modestly because I w...

The end of one launch is where the next one begins!  Most entrepreneurs look at a completed launch and see success or failure. I see crucial information that can make sure that my next launch will be bigger and better. A launch is an exhausting and complicated process. And if you don't experience success during the first launch, it's natural to feel anxious and hesitant about the next one.  If thi...

And with each one, you...

When a business owner tells herself that she has reached the limits of her growth, and doesn't want to scale up any more, it's one of two things.  Either she has really reached the pinnacle of her journey and is completely satisfied with where she is. (In which case, I'm truly happy for her!) Or she is convincing herself that she doesn't want to grow any more because she has reached the end of her...

It's also a great marketing opportunity that can lead to many bigger things, especially if you're using the second step I outline in the episode to create an online presence online that aligns with your brand and shows your business jou...

What does it mean to know your 'why'? How do you find it and why is it so important to your journey as an entrepreneur?

And creating this brand story with flair can help you win the confidence of c...

Can we ever reach a level of success where we stop feeling self-doubt and discomfort? The biggest myth we allow ourselves to believe in is that we only need to work on our mindset when we're starting our entrepreneurial journey.  I can tell you from my own experience that the work is never done. Even at this stage of my journey, I have to keep training my mind to embrace the discomfort of new chal...

Well, today, on the 100th episode of The Wellness Entrepreneur...

Have you been hearing good things about LinkedIn lately, but feeling too overwhelmed to join one more platform? Despite its incredible ability to help connect people, LinkedIn has long been seen as a site for corporate recruitment that has no space for entrepreneurs.  But that has changed dramatically in recent years.  While business owners struggle to reach their ideal clients on social media sit...

The world can be very slow at adopting wellness practices, even when it demonstrably leads to improvement in mental and physical wellbeing. While some spaces are beginning to value the effectiveness of practices like Reiki, there's still a long way to go before these resources become widely available to the ones who need it most.  This is why it's so important to show up everyday and be available...
