Wow! This episode is GOLD! I strongly recommend that you download it and re-listen anytime you need some tough love and to get your mind right around what it really means to be an entrepreneur and successful health professional.

Dr. Meghan Walker returns to the podcast this week to talk about the mindset traits and shifts she and I believe are necessary to make it as an entrepreneur in the health and wellness space (or any space really). We really are friends in real life and have had numerous conversations about the state of the industry and the mindset of practitioners given the messaging and “gurus”. The goal of this episode is to make sure everyone has correct expectations about what it’s actually like to build and grow a business.

We talk about the difference between many of the illusions health professionals start off with about entrepreneurship and the reality of it. We talk about mindset around money, sales and owning your value and potential for transformation in order to be successful and have the impact you so deeply desire.

 

We remind you that it’s not serving anyone, certainly not your clients, if you are constantly worried about paying your rent and feeling burned out because you haven’t protected yourself and your time. Like I said, you’re going to want to download this one and listen to it anytime a reminder is needed.

This conversation is packed with goodness and because we have SO much more to say on the subject, Meghan is a featured speaker at the upcoming Wellness Business Summit in June, 2019. At the summit, she’s going to go into practical and actionable strategies for clinicians and health practitioners who want to build and scale successful businesses without burning themselves out. Grab your tickets to join us in person HERE, and do it soon because prices are going up on January 31st, 2019.
