178 - Psychology vs. Platform - Which Are You Focused On?
Welcome to the show, Healthpreneurs! Today, I’m chatting about psychology versus platform with my results coaches Jackie and Amy. We’ve realized that a ton of people are hung up on the platform they’re using to reach their clients. Really, they should be more concerned about understanding the psychology behind their strategy. Any good program should be platform agnostic. This means that the strategy a program teaches should focus on the psychology that works to reach clients, not the vessel you use in which to do so. The only thing that is certain is change, so you can bet the internet and its platforms will change, too. But, in the meantime, don’t get distracted by other platforms. Stick to what works and evolve when it’s time. Tune in to get the scoop on where to fish, how to do it, and why an authentic message will always reap the best results – whether the pond changes in the future or not. In this episode, Jackie, Amy, and I discuss: Whether to focus on psychology or platform. Why psychology comes before platform. Why any good program is platform agnostic. Certain change, evolving platforms, and fishing where the fish are. Finding your clients on the best platform while remaining authentic. 1:00 – 3:00 - What we help people deploy 3:00 – 9:00 - Why knowing your audience and how they think is key 9:00 – 13:30 - What to do when your strategy needs to change 13:30 – 17:00 - Since change is certain, adjust accordingly to best relay your message 17:00 – 21:00 - Ignoring false beliefs to get what you want and finding clients now 21:00 – 25:00 – Sticking to the pipeline and then building your brand

We’re back at it on the Healthpreneur podcast! Welcome! Today, we’re going to give you the scoop on what to do when you want to hit the PANIC button. Hint: Don’t. Things won’t always work out according to plan, and you know what? That is ok. We’ve got to remember to let go of resistance and the expectation that things must go a certain way. We must be resilient and see challenges as what they are – opportunities. By doing this, you’ll open the door for even greater things than you expected.

169 - What Your Clients Are Really Buying
What’s up, guys? Welcome to the Healthpreneur podcast. Do you want to know what your clients are really buying? It’s not the service or product you’re selling, it’s the outcome.

To invest in you and your product, your client must feel your confidence first.

It’s time to stop holding back and go full-steam ahead. If you want it bad enough, commit to seeing it through and going through the process. Otherwise, step aside and keep making excuses.

159 - 7 Lessons From My 7-Figure Health Business
How’s it going, Healthpreneurs? It’s time for my weekly solo round where I give you some insider lessons based upon my own personal experience. Today, I will be sharing with you seven lessons that I’ve learned from my 7-figure business. If you’re looking to hit 7-figures, or you already have and want to stay consistent in your growth, tune in. To have a thriving business, you must know your vision. Your strategy can change – as I’ve mentioned in previous episodes – but your overall vision should remain crystal clear and constant. With that in place, the things that push you over the 6-figure threshold include interacting with your clients, selling what people want, knowing your numbers, and knowing your business model.

Welcome to a tasty episode of the Healthpreneur podcast! Today we’re speaking with a Healthprenuer who has a product-based business. Chef Lance Roll, “The Flavor Chef,” is the master of tasty and nutritious bone broth, and he sells his products both online and through retailers. Despite the coming and going trends in the health food space, Chef Lance has remained true to his original mission to provide quality, organic, love-infused products that heal and nourish since 2008. He refuses to sacrifice the integrity of his product with processing or additives that don’t align with his mission. Lance has navigated through the seasonal aspect of his business, skill-gaps, and distractions, and has come out on the other side with a clear vision of what sets his products apart and who truly appreciates his craft and aligns with his mission.

157 - How to Get Comfortable Asking For the Sale
Ask and you shall receive, Healthpreneurs! Welcome back. Today we’re going to talk about getting comfortable asking for the sale. When you’re comfortable and confident, you’ll convert at a much higher rate and at a price point you deserve. Jackie, Amy, Stephanie, and I each have spent countless hour on calls with clients and prospective clients. Because of this, we have observed what works and what doesn’t through the study of ourselves and our Healthpreneur clients. For example, common issues during a sales call are divulging too much and being unprepared. If you – or your potential client – aren’t ready for the sale, don’t do it. If you have low energy, are stressed, or your client needs the go-ahead from a spouse to say “yes,” reschedule. Set yourself up for success so you go into the call feeling comfortable and confident. Grab your notebook and get ready for some valuable tips that’ll increase your closing rate and have you selling like a pro. In this episode, Jackie, Amy, Stephanie, and I discuss: The value of scripts and what happens when you divulge too much. The selling learning curve, confidence, and setting the stage for the offer.

And that’s why civilizations crumble, companies fail, and employees roll their eyes as their manager walks away. Today I’ll explain why great leaders birth other great leaders. You’ll understand why they focus on the what and why, rather than mulling over the how, and why great leaders are stubborn on the vision and flexible on the strategy. You’ve got to be decisive but not hung up on the title your power and decision-making brings. Who cares if you’re CEO or the head of the personal training sector of a business? Step up and lead where your leadership is needed, and remember that there’s no “I” in “team.” This episode is for anyone taking on a leadership position in any area of life whether in your family, your business, or your weekend volunteering gig. 1:00 – 4:30 - Leaders creating leaders 4:30 – 6:30 - Focusing on the what and why 6:30 – 11:00 - Being stubborn on vision and flexible on strategy 11:00 – 14:30 - Decisiveness and speaking with the word “we”. 14:30 – 18:00 - Being the best leader

147 - 4 Ways to Get More Focused
Welcome back to another motivating episode of the Healthpreneur Podcast! This week I’m flying solo and talking all about focus—how to get focused, how to stay focused, and how to hone your focus. Ultimately, at the end of the day, if you don’t know what you’re driving towards or why, there’s no way to get there. As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to get bogged down in the details. Our daily routine can get filled with so much of the minutiae we forget what it is we’re actually striving towards. Do you ever get to the end of your day feeling completely exhausted, but thinking, “What have I really done? What did I even accomplish?” It’s so easy to fall into the trap of busy work and fussing with tiny ingredients that the big picture, your big idea, your business crumbles before it even has a chance to fully bake. The Healthpreneur team wants to help with that. We know the struggle. We have been there ourselves! Your focus is your lifeline. Take a brief moment. Take a break. Grab a pen and pad, or write notes on your phone, because what we’re talking about may seem small, but it is so, so important.

This is a big picture conversation where we talk about everything from the very beginning of starting a business through thinking about the long-term and what you want it to be in the future.

145 - Why Perfectionism is Holding You Back (And How to Move Forward)
In this episode of the Healthpreneur Podcast I‘m talking to (some) of our awesome team about perfectionism. I’ve got Amie, Jackie, and Stephanie with me for this episode and we’ll be discussing perfectionism and, more specifically, why it is holding us back. We are hoping that this conversation will give you guys a couple of ideas and strategies to help you get stuff done instead of getting stuck due to perfectionism and the need to make everything perfect. We had a really honest and open conversation in this episode. The team shared their own struggles with perfectionism and some very practical mindset shifts your can make. If you’ve ever found yourself trying to be perfect, you’re going to get a lot out of this episode! In this episode, the team and I discuss: How we only want things perfect because we want the approval of other people. How perfectionism & procrastination delay us from reaching and helping the people that we want to serve. Using the tools you already have to get started and get your work out there in the world.

144 - How to Charge What You’re Worth
In this solo episode, I tackle the tough issue of how to charge what you’re really worth. I know this is important because I have a lot of clients that struggle with it. Most of what I talk about today is aimed at coaching, but it can apply to you even if you’re selling a product or information rather than coaching services. Think about this: A Bugatti or a Rolls Royce is always way more expensive than other cars, right? This is not just because they are good-quality items, but because there is always a segment of the market that wants the best. They want the best experience, the best results, more certainty, more personalized attention. So if you have an awesome protein powder that everyone else is charging $40 for—charge $80. Why? When you charge at a premium, customers assume what you’re offering is premium! They assume it’s the best. And it should be—you have to offer a very high-quality product. If you want to impact people, you can either go the route of magnitude, or the route of impact. Either sell cheaply to thousands, or sell to far fewer people for a lot more money. In the health and fitness space, most of us love working with people and want to change their lives. It’s so much more rewarding to enroll one person in your coaching program for $5,000 than to sell a book for $10—to 500 people. 3:00 – 7:00 – Do your best to not to compare yourself to anybody else. 7:00 – 15:00 – Know the value of what you’re offering. 15:00 – 21:00 – Raise your standards and think bigger. 21:00 – 24:00 – Imagine your life with fewer clients paying you more!

If you feel like you’re zoned into your business and it’s time to take a step back, tune in. Get reacquainted with the big picture. Remind yourself what matters most.

129 - Ideas vs. Execution
Welcome to a solo round of the Healthpreneur Podcast. Today I’m discussing the topic of idea versus execution. Where would you place your bet? Me? Idea. All day long. Some people think flawless execution is more important than a great idea. But the thing is that there is a cap on execution.

And you, as the owner and thought-leader of your business, have the power to generate these powerful ideas. Execution can be delegated to someone else – but ideas can’t. Tune in to hear my stance on the idea versus execution debate and get clear on where you’re needed most in your business. 1:00 – 2:30 - The two sides to the debate and what they mean 2:30 – 5:00 - Why some people succeed and others don’t when using the same process 5:00 – 6:30 - Why it always comes down to the big idea 6:30 – 8:30 - Delegating the execution process and using your brain for something else 8:30 – 9:00 - Social media examples 9:00 – 11:00 - Why great ideas are endless and execution comes second
