For this week's episode I thought I'd switch it up a little bit and do something I haven't done in a really long time which is answer some of your questions! You probably noticed that when you signed up for our email list we have this really cool, yet simple thing set up: the first email that you get as an autoresponder form us is a question like "what is your biggest frustration with your business" or "what is the thing that you are working on that you'd like to have help with". And this is amazing because I get an idea about what you guys are actually interested in, what are you struggling with right now, what kind of topics do you want to be hearing about. And we track ALL of these and every once in a while we go back and see what kind of content you'd like to see published on our site. So I thought that this time I would just pull out a few questions that really jumped out at me and answer them on air! I'll give you my thoughts on these questions and also resources you can read or listen to, and learn more about that specific topic.This episode originally aired on The Wellpreneur Podcast.Get the full show notes with links:https://wellpreneur.com/your-most-asked-questions-about-growing-your-wellness-business/Copyright 2012-2020 Wellpreneur Ltd.

When I quit I'll be so much happier!”Have you ever said any of these? I used to. While I was working in my corporate job and doing my business on the side, I was completely focused on that one single moment when I could finally quit my day job, and do my own business full-time. It seemed like my day job was just getting in the way of my success. If only I could quit, then I'd be less stressed, happier, get so much done and have total freedom!”But while leaving my day job was a huge moment for me and a major achievement – in retrospect – the grass wasn't quite as green as I'd been hoping.Following on from all the beta program interviews I did with people in the wellpreneur community, I heard the ‘when I quit my day job' comment come up over and over again. In this episode I'll break down 4 common misconceptions about quitting your day job – and the realities of being a solopreneur!What you'll learn in this episode:Why keeping your day job might actually be the key to less stressThe four common misconceptions about quitting your day jobWhy having unlimited time in the day doesn't always make you more productiveAnd I'd love to hear from YOU – what has your experience been with leaving your day job (or planning to?)? Leave an audio comment by clicking the black rectangle on the right side of the screen (from computers only) and record your message – I'll share some of them in the next episode!This episode originally aired on The Wellpreneur Podcast.Get the full show notes with links: https://wellpreneur.com/e65-myth-quitting-day-job/Copyright 2012-2020 Wellpreneur Ltd.

This week I'm having a really deep, juicy, thought-provoking conversation about branding with my guest, an expert brand consultant J. Nichole Smith. Brand is so much more than your logo and your website color scheme, it's a path forward that is making us feel much more aligned with our businesses, and we're really getting into that today. From what kind of message you want to send to the world, to how you want to spend your day – all these things are being used to create your brand and your business. I know a lot of wellpreneurs who created businesses that unfortunately don't quite feel right, and I've struggled with this myself for a while and you end up offering a product or a service that you don't really like to deliver. But as solopreneurs creating businesses that we're not absolutely wild about simply does not make sense, so we're going to try and prevent that in today's episode. We're also going to talk about emotions and vulnerability and how using our own personal experiences can help us create a brand that's really aligned with us. Nichole also offered a wide selection of items that are going to help you get started with your own branding (or review existing brand), and you can download those from the link below in the show notes.This episode originally aired on The Wellpreneur Podcast.Get the full show notes with links: https://wellpreneur.com/build-brand-that-matters-with-j-nichole-smith/Copyright 2012-2020 Wellpreneur Ltd.

I'm just back from an amazing conference in Bangkok, where my favorite workshop was about Business Intuition, hosted by Michael Smith. During a break we recorded a short conversation about using intuition in your business – from making decisions to hiring to attracting ideal clients. Who knew that intuition could be so practical. And it also takes the pressure off having to ‘figure out' the ‘right answer' – instead, use intuition to guide you. It feels easy and effortless … and it works.Also this week I'm excited to announce a new sponsor for the Wellpreneur Podcast – Swellby.com! They're a new online marketplace for wellness practitioners – check them out here.Additionally, don't forget to check Marketing Bootcamp – a really useful course that will help you establish the marketing efforts that suit you the most and that work for your business!This episode originally aired on The Wellpreneur Podcast.Get the full show notes with links: https://wellpreneur.com/using-intuition-in-your-business/Copyright 2012-2020 Wellpreneur Ltd.

Zevia is sugar free soda company, the first one to use stevia as sweetener in their drinks!

If you are interested in making a product – this interview is exactly what you need to hear!

I have just came back from New Hampshire where I have spent some time with my family, but also did some retreats and workshops, loads of writing, and worked on the part of my business I have been delaying for a long time. So my advice for this summer is definitely to try and do both if you can: take at least a few days off to just reset, and then get some perspective and see if there's anything in your work that you may have been putting off for a while and set it in motion.This episode originally aired on The Wellpreneur Podcast.Get the full show notes with links: https://wellpreneur.com/healthy-food-industry-insights-with-paddy-spence/Copyright 2012-2020 Wellpreneur Ltd.

This week we're talking about a topic that we never discussed in any of our couple of hundred episodes already published on The Wellpreneur Podcast. We're talking about selling your business! My today's guest is Sara Dean of Shameless Mom, and she's actually been a guest on our show before in episode 157 to talk about running two of her businesses: a gym and a podcast that inspires guilt free moms.

Which is why we're starting this conversation from scratch, as when she actually got the initial idea of moving away from her gym, Sara wasn't even sure she had a business she could sell so she found a business broker, why the process of selling took 18 months. We really dive into what's important to consider when you think about selling your own wellness business anytime in the next 5 years.

I was recently given the book “Die Empty” by Todd Henry. The premise of the book is about how we can make sure we do our best work everyday (without getting distracted by other urgent – but not important – tasks.) Lots of the book really spoke to the challenges I hear Wellpreneurs talk about on a weekly basis. So we invited him on the show, and now we're having a conversation all about doing your best work, what ‘passion' really means and how you can find it, how to focus on what's important (rather than just urgent), and daily routines and rituals to do your best work, everyday. If you enjoy this interview, Todd has four books as well as the popular podcast, Accidental Creative.This episode originally aired on The Wellpreneur Podcast.Get the full show notes with links: https://wellpreneur.com/do-your-best-work-everyday-with-todd-henry/Copyright 2012-2020 Wellpreneur Ltd.
