I’ve created the community I wished for when I was first starting out

Years ago when I was first starting out I found it near impossible to find others, especially women, that were on a similar path to me.

I felt like an outsider and wondered if something was wrong with me. Having big, audacious goals and dreams didn’t feel “normal” and it was hard to find a place where I really felt like I belonged.

As I’ve created my programs, building a community was at the forefront of my vision. I wanted to create a place where ambitious health and wellness professionals could gather and share the Truth (with a capital T) about what it’s like to want to have massive impact AND want to make a shit ton of money (because you can totally do both).

I think about this community and the communities I’ve curated on Facebook a lot. So, it was super fun to sit down with David White on his podcast a few months back to share with him my definition of community, why it’s SO very important to me to nurture my community and how it goes WAY beyond sales and client relationships.

I enjoyed the conversation so much that I asked David if I could share it with my people too, so here it is!

More About David

David’s focus is on inspiring, teaching and motivating other health professionals to take the plunge, go full-scale online with an arsenal of tools to build a massive following, get their information and methods in the hands of MILLIONS of people, and get paid for it.

He helps health professionals to find a starving audience who needs your help, show them that you actually can get results for them, and then put your products and services in front of them in a kind and empathetic manner that doesn't twist anyone's arm, or sound like you're auctioning a house. Connect with David via his website and listen to his podcast, The Business of Health.
