This week, I am sitting down with a very special guest named Zoe Pink, who is a Happiness Coach.For as long as Zoe could remember she wished for happiness whenever she found a penny, saw the first star of the evening, or had a birthday candle to wish upon.It was the simple dream of a little girl whose childhood was profoundly bleak. Zoe suffered through poverty; physical, emotional and sexual abuse; bullying and depression.But even in that darkness there were moments when her heart would tell her that happiness WAS possible.Her journey has been anything BUT linear and she’s a true example of how strength and purpose can come from our biggest challenges and struggles.I admire Zoe for so many reasons, but one that I’d like to call out is her willingness to be vulnerable, open and honest. One of her goals is to become more visible which is certainly not easy, but she rose to the task of this podcast with confidence and calmness.In this episode, we’re pulling the curtains back on…What her childhood was like and how that shaped who she is todayThe journey towards becoming a Happiness CoachSome of the first steps she took to set up her websiteHow The Visionary Method Coaching supported her next level of growthAnd tips for getting more visible when it doesn’t come naturally Don’t forget to connect with Zoe! www.zoepink.comP.s.

Do you believe that there’s a correlation between our health and the success of our business?According to today’s guest, Dr. Navaz, there sure is. In fact, he’s lived it.And I couldn’t agree more.Dr. Navaz knows first hand that changing your state of health can drastically change your output as a business owner.When he found himself tipping the scales at 250 pounds, he knew he needed to make a change.He transformed his health and his energy levels over the coming months using several of the strategies that we discuss in today’s episode… and in turn, Navaz also managed to accelerate the growth of this business-- seeing a 100% increase in revenue in just 1 year.Dr. Navaz practices as a Functional Medicine Practitioner - working with a range of clients, including CEOs, entrepreneurs, executives and professional athletes to optimize their health, vitality and performance.He’s also the author of a book called Activate Your Vagus Nerve, which shares information on how to Improve the function of the most important nerve for your health. You’ve probably never even heard of it right?I would highly suggest digging into his book or his resources, because it’s super fascinating stuff!As many of you know, I used to practice as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, so the topic of Health is near and dear to my heart.I could talk forever about the correlations between how I take care of myself and the growth of my business, but I wanted to bring on a true expert in the field.Let’s welcome Dr. Navaz to the show so that he can share The Top 10 Health Upgrades for Entrepreneurs or anyone looking to make a positive change in their life, health or business.Connect with Dr. Navaz

I was never someone who really resonated with the traditional “New Year, New Goals” tradition because I like to set goals throughout the year and on an ongoing basis, as opposed to making it a one time annual event.I don’t necessarily set goals in the traditional way either, in that I will often find quirky ways to solidify the goal in my head.If you’re a non-traditional goal setter like me (perhaps, a goal-setting rebel) then I want to share some of my tips with you for setting meaningful, reachable goals on an ongoing basis.This method takes the pressure off of knowing exactly what you want out of your life and business in a 1 hour goal planning session, and instead honours the fact that you are a constantly evolving human being with changing needs and new perspectives.Here are 5 ways that I set goals, in a non-traditional (but still super-successful) manner. Whether you’re an aspiring online entrepreneur (pssssssst, have you heard of The Visionary Method™) or just want to set some simple health goals, I am certain you will find success in picking one of these methods.P.s. Whenever you’re ready, here are 3 ways I can help you…Do you dream of Starting your Online Business?
