Find out more about Holly and her journey on today’s episode.   Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments: *People with autoimmune disease, especially in the workplace, are silently suffering from this. *Holly started her blog as a side hobby while she was diagnosed with breast cancer. *How did Holly first get started along this path? *Holly was 39 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and then she was also diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease. *Holly really could not do it all. She had to take a step back from her job in order to recover properly. *The universe gives you signs. *What is Holly up to now? *Holly transitioned to a different job and they were not supportive at all over her Hashimoto’s ‘flare ups.’ *Holly felt like a failure. She had to give up on her life’s work and she felt like she let herself and her family down. *When Holly was going through this, she found out there were very few resources for people who have autoimmune disease in the workplace. *How many people are silently suffering everyday just because people don’t believe their illness is real? *What has the response been like as the result of the work, and the book, Holly has done? *If you’re having health challenges, put a financial/career/life plan together. Really think hard to come up with a game plan and work with what you got. *Don’t be afraid to look at your options. There’s a lot more out there than you think. *What advice does Holly have for those just starting out? *Holly had to completely shift how she worked on a daily basis after she was diagnosed with cancer. She couldn’t ‘charge’ at the problems anymore with the energy that she had.   Mentioned in This Episode: MichelleMcGlade.com Pinkfortitude.com Pinkfortitude.com/book-table

Razi Berry

Razi Berry is the Co-Founder of Naturopathic Doctor News &amp; Review (NDNR) and Founder of NaturalPath. At 25 years old, Razi was sick and going from doctor to doctor trying to find out why. No one could help and it got so bad that she decided it was time to fire all of them and start fresh… and that’s how she found homeopathy. Razi started NDNR 14 years ago when she was fed up that there wasn’t an official journal showing case studies of how, and why, homeopathy works. On today’s show, Razi discusses the difference between a community and a movement, where she sees the wellness industry going, and why healing happens within yourself.   Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments: *Thank you, Jessica, for your awesome review! *Razi starts her morning every day by hugging a tree in her yard. *Razi used to look at her phone every morning instead and it really set a bad tone for her. *Tree hugging isn’t some ‘woowoo’ thing. There’s actually real science behind this. *Was Razi always like this as a child? How did she get started as a homeopath? *Where does healing really come from? It doesn’t come from the doctor. *Healing happens within. *Why did Razi decide to start NDNR? *With so much information out there, people are very distrustful (and with good reason). It’s more critical than ever to understand what motivates someone into taking action. *Razi is not just creating a community, she’s creating a movement. What’s the difference between creating a community vs. creating a movement? *What’s Razi’s movement about? *Razi discusses some of her fears about Western medicine overtaking traditional/natural medicine. *Razi has a gift for you!!

Amanda Gates

Amanda Gates always felt like a weird kid when she was growing up. Her mother was a full-on hippy who made her own clothes, soaps, etc. All Amanda wanted to be when she was growing up was ‘normal.’ However, when she built her first dream home, she was unhappy. Nothing felt right in her house, and that’s how she found herself getting into Feng Shui and slowly becoming a closeted (and then out in the open!) hippy. Find out more about Amanda’s journey on this week’s show!   Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments: *How did Amanda become a woo-woo hippy? *What was Amanda doing before she became an interior designer/Feng Shui hippy? *Amanda explains what it was like wearing her mother’s home-made clothes. *Amanda realizes that her husband, David, is an absolute saint for putting up with all her ‘hippy sh*t’! *Amanda was such a closeted hippy for so long that when she was finally free to express herself, it was time to focus on her legacy and how she can serve others to the best of her ability. *As women, we tend to push down our gut reactions. We want to ‘fit in.’ *When you start getting haters, that’s when you know you’re doing something right. You are living your authentic self unapologetically. *What is Feng Shui? *Amanda has been doing this for 20 years; she can see everything from financial issues to affairs just by looking at your floor plans. You bring your energy with you no matter how many times you move. *On Amanda’s podcast and website, she shows you how you can read your own floor plan.

Making the Maven

While I was on vacation, some fears were coming up inside me that I simply could not ignore. What’s the next step for me and my business? I kind of have an idea, but at the same time, I’m not 100% sure. I believe fear has really been the root cause as to what’s been holding me back to get to the next level. Having fears is extremely normal and it happens at all business levels, so what can you do about it?   Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments: *This episode is all about fear. It’s been on my mind a lot lately. *I just got back from my vacation in Costa Rica! *Kevin Breeding wrote a post and it really stuck with me while I was on vacation. *Do you fear you’re going to be a failure? *Do you fear you’re going to be successful? *Are you not fully committed to your practice? *I am struggling with all three of these things. *What’s the next step for me? I don’t really know. *What’s holding me back from getting to the next level? *These fears will not go away. You’re not alone. *What’s really holding you back is what’s inside of you, not what’s happening on the outside. *So, what do you do about this? *I see that you’re not fully committed to your dream. What needs to happen here is you need to begin to change your mindset.

What It Takes to Get to the Next Level | MTM125

Lynn Gray

Haley Lynn Gray is a business consultant and the founder of Leadership Girl. I think this line from her website states really clearly what Haley does and why she has resonated with me so much: “You went into business for yourself to be your own boss, have time with your family and make more money. The only problem is that you don't know how to get clients to bring in money, which leads to spinning your wheels. More often than not, it also means more time in front of the computer than when you were in corporate.” Haley just has a 'make it work, no matter what' attitude and I just love that about her. She has so much knowledge to bring to the table and I hope you enjoy today's interview with her! If you want to know how to grow your business online, then this is definitely the show for you to listen to. Don't forget to grab your pen and paper! You will need it.   Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments: *Thank you for leaving your reviews on Stitcher Radio! *Why did Haley start an online business? Her friend was doing it and she saw the amazing possibilities. *Blogging has its place, but it can't be the sole force that's building your business. *Look at other opportunities like guest blogging. *People love having guest bloggers on their blog. *There are lower hanging fruits that you can get if your purpose is to make money. Blogs take time. *How do you become a guest blogger? Approach your favorite bloggers and ask them! *How is running an online business different from a location-based business? You're anonymously contacting your customers. *Online business owners are more vulnerable and have more authentic posts. *What are some of the challenges of starting an online business? People ignore you. *You have to go out and build your tribe one by one. *What social media platforms are you going to use? What's your budget? Who's your tribe? *Not everyone is an overnight success. Remember, it takes time to build your audience. *It takes roughly 500-1000 Facebook posts in a variety of different groups over the course of 2-3 months for people to even notice you. *You really have to put yourself out there. *What size does your list have to be before you create your own product/online course? At least a couple of thousand active subscribers on your list. *These numbers are important just to give you a starting point on what you should aim for. *Haley has been feeding and watering her tribe for a very long time. She spends a lot of time cultivating relationships. *Find the social media platforms that work for you. *You can use Twitter to promote your webinars. *Michelle struggled to find a community when she started her business. *You can join Michelle's free Facebook community for help.   Maven Moment: Haley is just so knowledgeable and she has taught me a lot on today's show. I think what stood out the most for me was that I didn't realize you could use Twitter to promote your webinars and other products. I feel like not a lot of people are very focused on using Twitter as a sales funnel and Haley just opened my eyes to the possibilities of using Twitter in combination with webinars. I cannot wait to try it out for myself!   Mentioned in This Episode: http://www.michellemcglade.com/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/bizmaven/?fref=ts   Connect with Shari: Website

Michael Roderick

Michael Roderick went from high school English teacher to a Broadway producer in under two years. How did he do it so darn quick? Michael says it’s due to the connections he’s built. Michael explains that going to networking events is so cringe-worthy because you often get bombarded by people trying to promote their stuff and who, frankly, have the whole ‘building meaningful relationships’ thing all wrong. How can you avoid being like one of those people and how can you break into an industry where you know no one? Michael shares his tips!   Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments:  *You want to grab a pen and paper for this podcast episode and listen to it twice!  *How did Michael go from an English teacher to a Broadway producer in under two years?  *The first year of teaching completely destroyed Michael. He had to break up a ton of fights and got things thrown at him.  *How can you make a good connection with someone at a networking event without being too ‘networky’ about it?  *So, why did Michael leave his career as a Broadway producer and how did he get to ‘here’?  *Where does Michael’s very strategic thinking come from? How does he have so much wisdom?!  *How do you break into an industry when you know nobody?  *Michael has 4 networking archetypes: The sharks, the dolphins, those who are drowning, and the lifeguards.  *How can you approach and build a relationship with a stranger? Let’s do a quick recap.  *Michael explains his GATE strategy, which stands for Give, Ask, Thank, and Experiment.  *Very, very rarely does someone say a proper ‘thank you’ to someone.  *Formulas are great for marketing but awful for real-life implementation. It’s easy to consume 3 tips, but following those 3 tips to the letter will not give them the same results.  *If you’re not being you, people will see it and they will not be able to build trust with you.   Mentioned in This Episode:  Michellemcglade.com  ￼Maven Inner Circle  Maven Facebook Group  Smallpondenterprises.com  Connectorcon.com  Accesstoanyonepodcast.com  Oneproducerinthecity.typepad.com  Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable, by Seth Godin  Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, by Robert B.

Glenn Livingston

Dr. Glenn Livingston is a veteran psychologist and was the longtime CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm that serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry.

On the show, Glenn discusses how health practitioners can market themselves authentically and ethically and dives deep into the psychological reasons why we have food addictions.   Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments: *Glenn is so passionate about his line of work that he self-funded a study with over 40,000 participants and today, he will be sharing his personal journey out of obesity. *Both Glenn’s parents were psychologists! It really helped him become an introspective thinker and it inspired him to become a Ph.D., himself. *Glenn has experienced some failures along the way, the worst one was when his business failed, he became $700K in debt and had lost $2 million in the business. *What do practitioners need to be thinking about from a marketing perspective?  *You don’t have to lie to your client in order to be effective at marketing. In fact, that’s not even considered ethical marketing. There is a way for you to promote yourself truthfully and authentically. *If you feel icky about marketing, then take a step back and ask yourself, what you believe about your product. Do you believe people out there are suffering and you have the solution? If yes, then market with pride. Go all out! Embrace it! *How can local practitioners best market themselves ethically? *What was Glenn’s journey from having their own practice to marketing consultant to writing the book Never Binge Again? *Addiction targets the lizard brain, and our lizard brains are not prepared for food addiction. *Is binge eating common among men? *Practitioners can get certified in Glenn’s methodology to further help their clients who are struggling with weight and eating issues. *Never Binge Again isn’t a diet plan, it’s a way to structure your brain so you can regain control and combat impulse!

Here’s How to Market Yourself Ethically | Dr. Glenn Livingston | MTM121

I am passionate about communicating the importance of structuring your business to meet your lifestyle. It is far too common for wellness entrepreneurs to look around at others who they deem as successful and then try to copy their business elements. Instead, understanding your strengths, unique skill sets, passions and interests and combining these to create a business that fits YOU is a recipe for success. That is why the cookie cutter business model does not work in my opinion. When you place yourself in situations to show off and shine brightly, there is no competition.

Mindset is a topic that comes up quite a bit in the Making the Maven Facebook Group, so this Maven Mini was inspired by everyone in that community! Get ready you guys! I have gathered 8 tips from the members of the community on how you can smash that inner critic. Let's get started! 1. Amy loves essential oils and I couldn't agree more. I use them in my office and rub them all over! They are a great mood lifter and can really help you focus. 2. Lisa talks about the importance of setting intentions and goals for yourself, on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. This is a great way to help you keep on track and a great way to stay focused on the long-term. 3. Use Mantras. Thank you Carmen! This is a great idea. Carmen's mantra for everyday business is that every day is a success. Every day is a success. What a great mantra. 4. Detach yourself from the outcome. Fabulous mindset advice from Sharline! You don't always have control over the outcome, so let it go. Remember, you can only control the actions you take. 5. Observing how you're feeling without judgment! Understand why you feel the way you do. Feelings are real, so you need to take the time to understand what exactly is going on. Thanks again for some fabulous advice, Sharline! 6. Take time to meditate! Yes! Thanks to Jill for this tip. 7. Amy C. recommends using music to help get out of a bad mood. Play your favorite song! 8. Final tip is from Laura! Stay action oriented.

8 Ways to Smash That Inner Critic | Maven Mini

Nagina Abdullah

Founder of MasalaBody.com – blog and weight loss coaching program for females and entrepreneurs. She lost 40 pounds after having 2 kids while having a demanding corporate career. When friends started asking her how to lose weight, she launched her business to help other busy women take control of their body and weight. And made ZERO DOLLARS! We chat about this epic fail and how it led to the creation of her flagship 8-week coaching program, Spice Yourself Skinny. Became focused on upleveling and was a passion inside of her. Researching and responding to her audience and list building have been huge successes for her! On the side, she is still holding her day job. She’s been featured on People.com, Insider, Fox News.   Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments * She was a management consultant for a Top 4 firm in NYC. Was her dream job! * It was everything she imagined, but she decided she wanted something bigger with more flexibility that worked in her life. Her entrepreneurial dream was planted! * She didn’t know how to dream bigger until she achieved the biggest dream she had for herself * How did she begin the entrepreneurial path after realizing it was what she wanted? * She didn’t even realize it was beginning as it was going on! * She lost weight through a purposeful plan after having her second child and it quickly became the topic of conversation around her * She started documenting her recipes and would share with people around her. She soon realized she wanted to spread it out to more people * She worked on starting a simple website and blog * She took a course on how to create an online business and found that instead of sharing recipes, she wanted to focus on helping people lose weight. She now had a result to focus on. * Her first week she got 101 subscribers through her positioning * She listened to what people wanted! She began by doing what she wanted to create, but learned the key was to listen to her audience. * Read between the lines * Do the research and get it right up front! * Began building this business on the side as a mom of 2 with her demanding job * Would spend every free second working on her online business. When she was flying for work, she was always working! * She would take vacation time from her day job and just work from home on her new business * Was able to push forward and build her business because she got so much energy from it * Made $30K her first year on the side, while still working full-time * Nagina doesn’t have any fancy certifications or degrees in this work. She found that when she actually accomplished the goals she set out for herself and her clients saw it, that’s what they were after. * Lesson is you don’t need to spend tons of money getting certifications in things that ultimately won’t matter. * Things have changed today. You don’t need to go through all of these hoops and have degrees. People will believe you if you can help them and prove it. * By doing, that’s how you get better, you train yourself, and people can see the results * Took her about a year to realize her business was growing and was scaleable and took a step back in her corporate career. * She still holds that corporate job today but goal is to ultimately leave her day job * Didn’t want to worry about money at this point and is now able to make the investments in her business that she wants to * Transitioned to more group programs to scale easier * At first, it totally bombed and she didn’t make a thing. But it taught her what to change and now it’s better than she could have imagined * Spent 3 months reviewing things and having people involved in helping her to change things. * Special gift for Making The Maven Listeners – she is going to share her 3 easy recipes to banish late night cravings   Maven Moment: Focus on one thing at a time and get really good at it. This reminds me of a conversation I was having with one of my private clients. If you’re struggling with who you serve with your message and communicating what you do in a way that people aren’t taking action, the best thing is not to build an audience online. You need to work on practicing in the one-on-one environment. It gives you practice and become more smooth in your message. Communication is key for building a successful business! Shift your mindset, work locally and finesse that message and product!

How to Create Something that People Want | Nagina Abdullah | MTM098

Kelley Hunter

Dr. Kelley Hunter is a longtime Depth Astrologer and Mythologist. Studies in psychology, cosmology, spirituality, and holistic consciousness, and over 1001 stargazing nights enrich her teachings and personal consultation work. She considers astrology to be a language of the soul that illumines our paths through life and connects us to the greater cosmic forces. Author of two books on LILITH, she also enjoys the creative arts, which led to her recent publication, Planetary Gods &amp; Goddesses Coloring Book (for ages 7-adult). An international lecturer, she has served on the Board of the International Society of Astrological Research and writes for various professional journals. With a special interest in the Divine Feminine, she is also member of the Goddess Scholars Network.   Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments * Why does Kelley call her work Depth Astrology? * What is astrology and what can it do for you and your business? * She picked this date specifically for our podcast because it was the first day Mercury was turning forward instead of backwards! * Those who know a little about astrology know about the Mercury retrograde. Happens for 3 weeks every 3-4 months. * Mercury Retrograde can mess with business operations, so it’s important to know how this is fitting into everything! * Launches during Mercury Retrograde? Not so much! * Astrology is an observational and technological science that goes way back in all cultures. Not just a “cookie cutter” 12 sign astrology that you can look at in the newspaper for your sign * How does the sky move and what happens in relationships within those seasonal cycles? * Learned how to do the math early on how astrology worked, started doing individual’s charts and could start to see how relationships were moving according to people’s charts * You are more than your Sun sign. Your birth chart is a map of the planetary patterns, the cosmic dance, when you were born — A LIFE MAP and LIVING MAP * Astrology is an intuitive science. We have the science of astronomy data, but how to interpret it is the art. It’s like learning a language. * Not all astrologers are good at communicating this to people. You need good counseling and listening skills, which is how Kelley learned * Discussion on LILITH and how it has been a part of her life and business * Suspicious on how powerful women can get negative reputations * How can this be used in a greater way in your business? * Know what your strengths are and what planets will guide you to your successes in life. What is the career area in your chart all about? * Opening a new business between the new moon and full moon, energy is growing * Also need to look at the chart of the business, not just of your career * Where is the spot on our charts where we can find money, satisfaction and happiness in life? * Talks about how much things have changed in this business and in astrology since she started in the 60’s and 70’s * Developed specialties and is known for her publications on LILITH. Not much is written in English on that topic in astrology * Make sure to check out her services, email list and webinars available on her website for more information on how to learn more   Maven Moment: Something I want to encourage you to think about… you’re a business owner! No matter where you are when you’re going about your day and you always have an opportunity to share your message, results and outcomes for your clients. When you do that, there is a lot of opportunities you can uncover throughout your day.

Look to the Stars to Help With Your Business | Kelley Hunter| MTM097

Brodie Welch

Brodie Welch is an acupuncturist, a holistic health counselor, and more! Brodie's wisdom on how she achieved success is something to pay attention to. I was very interested to hear from Brodie on how she came to the decision to expand her business. Brodie was very open throughout the interview and talked about some of the growing pains she has been having since making that decision. She is the perfect example of how you can take a one-to-one business model and convert it to a one-to-many. I hope you like the show and I always welcome feedback on what you think!   Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments: *Brodie was doing what she loved, but it was a little too much. *While Brodie was adjusting to parenting her step kids, she realized quickly her business needed some extra set of hands. *There's never really a 'right' time to hire an extra set of hands, but when you do you'll realize you can bring more to the table. *As a wellness professional, it can become really easy to get lost in the 'hustle' of it all and not be as yen and balanced as you'd like to. *Brodie moved to a town where she didn't know anybody. *Going out and pursuing your personal interests and hobbies helps you meet new people. Tell them about what you do! *Provide people with an incentive to take a risk. Give them a coupon or something similar to make it easy for them to try something new. *Brodie is very interested in providing value to her patients. *People are problem-aware, but might not be solution-aware. *Brodie has invested in a business coach. She believes in shortcuts. You don't need to reinvent the wheel. *Brodie found Quiet Power Strategy, by Tara Gentile to be extremely helpful. The book talks about running a business that matches your lifestyle. *You’re never going to know it all, but you do know enough to help someone. *It was hard for Brodie to get a realistic view on what her true role was as a wellness professional. *Patient education and expectation management is an incredibly important part of the business. *Brodie just launched a class on the basics of Chinese medicine. *Brodie sent out a survey to her mailing list to ask what they wanted from her and she listened to their responses. *It's a different ‘animal’ trying to communicate your message and your trustworthiness through the internet. *Do you ever feel alone in your business?   Maven Moment: Brodie shared with us how she was able to grow her acupuncture practice very quickly and to create a consistent stream of leads in less than six months. How did she do it? Networking in her own community played a critical role to her success. You can apply this as well, by selectively choosing your networking opportunities that place you in a manner that makes you shine! Instead of going to a networking event surrounded by other industry experts, branch out, go to a yoga class or join a book club and get more involved with the community.

Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments * Believe it or not, fear was the primary motivator on Alissa Daire Nelson starting her business * Everything doesn’t happen for a reason, but good can come out of the bad. Something positive can come from any negative situation. * Alissa is always searching for connection and externally processes the things that happen around her. * During her time in health care, she wasn’t great at self-care. Between kids, learning how to be a single-mom and life, it was overwhelming. * Emotional health, though, was always at the forefront and she sought out counseling. * Counseling or coaching doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you have a handle on the importance of working through things in life with support. * Her first entrepreneurial journey failed because she didn’t have the items she needed to succeed. She lacked confidence in herself, but she didn’t give up! * Started working on educating herself on how to be a business owner through books, conferences, webinars, etc. * Than she hired coaches and joined coaching programs, went through the steps and knew the entrepreneurial road was her calling * She won’t take on clients for long-term because she doesn’t want it to be such a comfortable relationship that they’re just getting together for coffee. * There needs to be a constant push for growth. * It’s not a bad thing to have multiple coaches to help you work through different things in your business * She works with her clients a lot on strengths and doesn’t work within any specific industry * Doing her own strength finder was so impactful and life-changing for her, so that is what really changed her course when she was building her coaching practice * Coaching is all about dragging their best self out of them * Her new book is a little bit of self-development and a little bit of productivity blended to keep growing! * The book is intended to be reread to keep growing in 3-month periods! * Get the First Two Chapters Here NOW for FREE, Mavens!

Everything Doesn’t Happen For A Reason | Alissa Daire Nelson | MTM095

Sarah Louisignau

Sarah is an empowered sensuality &amp; fertility coach, with over a decade of experience helping driven women and entrepreneurs reclaim healthy, happy sex lives, and discover deep wisdom, love, and trust within - through the process of claiming shameless pleasure and sensuality. She's had her own podcast, led workshops &amp; retreats, coached individuals and groups, and created a complete program for women looking to reclaim sensuality &amp; fertility. This girl has been around the block, searching for the best non-dogmatic methods and philosophies to empower extraordinary women in their search for well-being and we’re so lucky to have her here today!   Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments * Sarah discusses how sensuality and pleasure are the touchstones for lasting empowerment, and the ultimate path to breaking through plateaus in business. * She has found parallels between birthing babies as a doula and birthing a business * Rupture to rapture – What was her personal journey? * What broke down for her and led her to this empowering place. * Sarah has a really unique background * As someone who has always thought outside of the box and branched out to do her own thing, she’s comfortable making the “next step” and helping other goal-oriented women do the same. * She finds that she doesn’t even really fit into a category when doing her taxes anymore because what she does is so unique! * Her outer work is reflected in her inner work and it has helped her come to know herself as a woman and entrepreneur * Enjoyed teaching yoga and body work working with women one-on-one was when things really launched for her * Now tailors her work with women to focus on reproduction and pre/post natal care, as well as being a doula * She has found powerful synergies between personal growth as an entrepreneur and how a woman grows and develops physically and emotionally when birthing babies * Works with women entrepreneurs to open themselves up for self-care and self-love * How do women realize that having a deeper connection and love with your body is an important part in their business and life? * Sarah walks us through her very own rupture to rapture and how hitting rock bottom helped her move forward and slow down * What are the warning signs women have * Sarah has openings in her calendar for discovery calls. Are you a fit for my RADIANT + Sensual Entrepreneur program? Website below   Maven Moment I found Sarah’s message to relevant, since I called my first business my business baby. Literally! This was my rupture to rapture moment! I built it from the ground up and it was a reflection of everything about me! But I got myself too attached. I was willing to give anything to this business, but it really had to stop. It was getting detrimental to everything else in my life. I was putting too much pressure on myself and I’ll never make this mistake again! I gave more to my business than I did to myself and it was so hard to disconnect from that business. It almost felt like I had to kill my “baby” in order to get back to a healthy lifestyle! While it was a powerful experience, it’s definitely not recommended. Think about how much you’re giving your business and how you’re balancing your business and life! It’s so important!

Be the Most Important Authority in Your Life | Sarah Louisignau | MTM094

Carmen Hunter

Carmen Hunter is my guest for this week's episode and she and I have a lot in common. Carmen first started out as a personal trainer and then slowly transitioned to being a health coach. She now helps others who are fresh out of school to become better practitioners. Carmen is really on a mission to help guide the new and inexperienced through their wellness journey. She admits during the podcast that she didn't have a support system and that the first couple of years were incredibly hard for her. I could completely relate! I also think this is why she is so driven to help others, fresh out of school, find their place in this world. There's so much more key insights to take away from Carmen's interview, so tune in!   Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments: *Don't forget to ask your current clients for referrals  *Carmen has been a health couch since 2010.  *Carmen is not an overnight success. It took years of mistakes to find her way.  *Carmen believes it's important to teach someone who is unable to pay, for free, as a way to give back.  *There's such a huge gap between getting out of school and actually implementing your practice.  *Health professionals just didn't want to share important information within the industry. *I had to find resources and information outside of the wellness community when I first started out. *Afraid to share information? Stop! This industry is so big and there are so many people who need our help. *It's a disservice to each other to not share information and potentially not help someone else outside of your local zip code.  *Let your town and local community know who you are. Get your name out there. *Getting referrals online is a different story, but what worked for Carmen was sharing her story and sharing her mistakes. *Sometimes all you have to do is ask for referrals. *Carmen saved time by creating a template that covered five of the foundational things about health. *I love that Carmen took the time to slow down, so she could use it to go faster later. *As we try to help others, don't forget to also help yourself along that journey. *How did having the support system help Carmen? It completely re-sparked her energy. *There's so much information out there that sometimes it's hard to find the real and reliable methods. *People think they don't know enough, but that's simply not true! *We should never be afraid to say we're still growing or that we don't know or understand. *Look out for Carmen's webinar coming out April 6th - Health Coaching with Confidence! *Carmen does free face-to-face videos. Go to her website for some great resources.  *I am offering a step-by-step guide on how to grow your Facebook Group!   Maven Moment: Carmen talks about being alone throughout her wellness journey and this is something I could also, sadly, relate to. The first few years are always hard, but it's even harder without the support from your tribe. Your friends and family are sometimes not the best place to look to for support either, because not everyone is able to relate to our desire to become entrepreneurs or to help others on a more meaningful level.  So, I can't stress enough how important it is in the wellness community to really support each other and share both our successes and our dark moments. You're not alone! Just by finding others in your industry, it can save years of mistakes and feelings like you're the only one out there.

Asking for Referrals and Building a Strong Client Base | Carmen Hunter | MTM040

Kathy Goughenour

Kathy comes in with such a great mix of knowledge in today’s podcast! She has paid her dues in the Corporate World for 20 years and even earned her MBA, just to feel stagnated in lower management. After a life-changing realization struck her, though, she took matters into her own hands, quit that corporate job and life changed dramatically! Now she helps other entrepreneurs find the perfect fit for outsourcing work in their business to a Virtual Assistant, along with training and coaching VA’s to be the best that they can be! Learn all about what you should be looking for in your next VA hire today!   Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments * Many are curious about how to get more hours in their day, but there is a lack of knowledge in this topic in the wellness industry, and in many others! * She started in Corporate America for almost 20 years, but just wasn’t getting promoted and stuck in middle management * She thought about how she could change herself in order to get promoted, which caused a lot of self-doubt * Finally, she read  Wishcraft by Barbara Sher and it changed her life * She realized she could be a business owner and make even more money than she thought, even though she was 45 years old at the time. * Her boss and many people closest to her told her she was making the biggest mistake of her life when she quit her job, but soon was earning double what she was making in Corporate America * Was terrifying, but was more terrified of living her life being miserably unhappy in the Corporate World. * Now she teaches others on how to become a VA, trains and coaches in an all-inclusive program * Dirty secret about the VA industry – the majority of VA’s don’t actually know what they’re doing! * How do you know what VA you should steer clear of? * You get what you pay for. Professional VA average rate is $45/hour. If you’re looking at cheap VA’s, there may be a reason why they are so cheap (don’t know what they’re really doing). * You’re only paying for the work you need a VA to do, so while it seems like a lot, you only need to use them as needed or for special projects. * Hire a VA before you really need them so you aren’t stuck when you actually need them. Make sure you talk with them about what they charge and how they invoice. * VA should be providing an invoice, an onboarding process, etc. If they don’t have these systems in place, run! * Make sure you have a cap in place so you have budget flexibility * Kathy recommends a 15 minute productivity secret – a weekly, biweekly, or monthly phone call on the day you usually plan your week on a consistent, standing date where the VA runs the meeting * The more hours you have the VA working for you, the more frequently you should be meeting * She is offering a free service, 1-time opportunity to meet with her for a VA matchmaking session * Will talk about skills you are looking for, what you’re struggling with, goals and what a VA may be able to do and will email you 1-3 options to interview to see what may fit best with you and your business * Email her Kathy@expertvatraining.com for this deal and say that you heard this on this podcast   Maven Moment: Even though it feels like it may be too soon, you always want to make sure you have someone under your umbrella before it’s too late! It will feel uncomfortable and it will feel like you’re not ready, but guess what?! You’re suddenly going to have more hours to do what you do best – coaching! And that, my friends, will bring in more money for you and your business. Now, you may not always hire the right person the first time around but don’t let them scare you off from bringing someone in. I always recommend talking to 2-3 people before hiring your VA. You’ll see how is a great fit for you and who is not. Another thing my hubby and I noticed – if I talk about someone at home at the end of the day and it’s negative or a struggle and it happens more than 3 times, it’s probably time to let them go! Nip that problem in the butt!

Outsource Today and Get More Done| Kathy Goughenour| MTM096

Chris Frykman

Dr. Chris Frykman has been a chiropractor for the past 16 years and he is also the host of the Vibrant Potential podcast. Chris focuses on natural and holistic healing methods and also specializes in brain health. I really like Chris's message and feel he does something very different than what most online business owners do. He runs a business that matches his lifestyle - not the other way around. I love this about him because so many people feel like they 'should' be doing something when in reality it has nothing to do with what they really and truly want. You seriously have to listen in for more amazing gems from Chris in today's episode.   Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments: *Thank you for leaving iTunes reviews! *Chris is usually the only person in the office. *Chris understands he doesn't do everything well, so he’d rather outsource than hire employees. *However, there's nothing wrong with wanting to have a ton of employees in your office. Do what works for you. *Be careful about doing things you think you 'should' be doing. What do you really want? *Should you keep growing your business or do you want to grow your business? Why? *Chris wants to help 10,000 people reach their vibrant potential in 12 months. *Now that Chris has a very clear goal, he's able to say no to things that aren't aligned with his message. *When people say no to you, don't take the rejection seriously. Other people are busy too and are also working towards their best message. *You can achieve as big as you can dream. *Talk to mentors and other like-minded people about your goals. *It's not automatic that your current set of friends or family will be your biggest supporters on your entrepreneurial journey. *People who have negative opinions about what you're doing are usually reflecting something about themselves onto you. *Believe in yourself. *Let's talk about scarcity vs. abundant thinking for a moment. *Nothing moves when you're in the scarcity mindset. *However, there is no such thing as competition when you come from an abundance mindset.   Maven Moment: This interview was jam packed with a ton of information, but what I really loved from Chris was when he told me how easy it was to say no after he created a clear goal. I could completely resonate with Chris on this, because it can be so hard to say no, especially if your message is to help others. However, by having a clear goal in place, all of a sudden you know when to say yes and when to say a firm no. When you get dragged into too many 'yes' commitments it's not only exhausting, but it can be the reason why you burn out. Have a clear goal in mind so that it can lead you down a path that is more fulfilling and aligned with who you are.

Dr. Chris Frykman has been a chiropractor for the past 16 years and he is also the host of the Vibrant Potential podcast. Chris focuses on natural and holistic healing methods and also specializes in brain health. I really like Chris's message and feel he does something very different than what most online business owners do. He runs a business that matches his lifestyle - not the other way around. I love this about him because so many people feel like they 'should' be doing something when in reality it has nothing to do with what they really and truly want. You seriously have to listen in for more amazing gems from Chris in today's episode. Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments: *Thank you for leaving iTunes reviews! *Chris is usually the only person in the office. *Chris understands he doesn't do everything well, so he’d rather outsource than hire employees. *However, there's nothing wrong with wanting to have a ton of employees in your office. Do what works for you. *Be careful about doing things you think you 'should' be doing. What do you really want? *Should you keep growing your business or do you want to grow your business? Why? *Chris wants to help 10,000 people reach their vibrant potential in 12 months. *Now that Chris has a very clear goal, he's able to say no to things that aren't aligned with his message. *When people say no to you, don't take the rejection seriously. Other people are busy too and are also working towards their best message. *You can achieve as big as you can dream. *Talk to mentors and other like-minded people about your goals. *It's not automatic that your current set of friends or family will be your biggest supporters on your entrepreneurial journey. *People who have negative opinions about what you're doing are usually reflecting something about themselves onto you. *Believe in yourself. *Let's talk about scarcity vs. abundant thinking for a moment. *Nothing moves when you're in the scarcity mindset. *However, there is no such thing as competition when you come from an abundance mindset. Maven Moment: This interview was jam packed with a ton of information, but what I really loved from Chris was when he told me how easy it was to say no after he created a clear goal. I could completely resonate with Chris on this, because it can be so hard to say no, especially if your message is to help others. However, by having a clear goal in place, all of a sudden you know when to say yes and when to say a firm no. When you get dragged into too many 'yes' commitments it's not only exhausting, but it can be the reason why you burn out. Have a clear goal in mind so that it can lead you down a path that is more fulfilling and aligned with who you are.

Serving 10,000 People in 12 Months | Dr. Chris Frykman | MTM038

One of the common mistakes I see people making is that they're trying to create their business alone. As entrepreneurs, we're wearing many different hats and this can be extremely overwhelming. People try to set up roadblocks for themselves as well. I hear statements like, 'if only I had an MBA' or 'I need a PhD for that'. It doesn't take a fancy business class for you to get started!  Participating in a community will not only bring you down from needing that fancy degree, but it will also give you the courage and the confidence you need to get out there! Remember, we all need support. Building a business is filled with ups and downs and our family/friends might not be able to offer the best support. Instead of putting all that pressure on one person, like your spouse, you can now look for support in a community of people who have already been there! How great does that sound? A community is also an excellent networking opportunity and a way to build stronger connections with others. So there are many facets to why you should join. I honestly believe you shouldn't knock it until you try it and the encouragement/support will honestly blow you away once you do! I wrote an article about the five key ways to grow your community online, featured on the Huffington Post. Please check it out and let me know what you think!
