15. Imposter Syndrome Part 1: The "Successful" People Jan 11, 2022

Show notes

It's estimated that only 5% of holistic nutritionists have a profitable business, and I attribute A LOT of that to the false expectations set by the rigorous certifications themselves.
Before we talk about the 5% of "successful" people, let's get clear on what's really going on here:
We come out of these certification programs scared to help people or overpromise big, life changing results for them. Most practitioners are not confident in their abilities, they feel like an unprepared fraud on some level, and think they need more practice or more training before starting to work with clients. These thoughts lead to feeling like a complete imposter, not a qualified and capable practitioner.
The certification programs we go through are designed to make us feel uncertain and doubtful so we don't hurt our clients or go out of the scope of our practice. Remember that. If you recently got certified and are even more fearful and uncertain now than you were when you started, that's normal, but you have to move past those fears and start helping people, anyway.
Don't want for the feelings of imposter syndrome to go away entirely because they never will. They just get less important and quieter with the more people you help and by consistently doing the thought exercises you learn in this episode. Let’s get to it.

You know how sometimes you just have these moments that stand out in time and you remember them FOREVER because for some reason it was crazy important?

13. The AWE Of 2021 Dec 28, 2021

Show notes

I'm going to explain a short, written exercise that my students did this month so you can do it for yourself. You'll notice that this isn't hard. It's easy to do. But it's also easy not to do, just like most things that really get you results in your business!
Consistency compounds. The little things that seem inconsequential add up to BIG RESULTS, and it doesn't take very long to start seeing the fruits of those labors.
So, when I say that your business can be simple, I'm not kidding. It starts with a piece of paper and a pen and answering a few key questions, which is what I’m going to show you how to do today.

12. Creating Your Money Making Website Dec 21, 2021

Show notes

We're diving into technology, today. Terrifying, right?
I promise to keep this so simple and easy to follow, you're going to WANT to either create your website or audit and simplify your existing site by the time you're done with this episode.
No more procrasti-designing or just burying your head in the sand at the thought of trying to move stock images of food around on random pages and make them look good. NO NO NO. Do not do this, for the love.
As you may or may not know, I have really strong opinions about technology and marketing and websites in particular. We'll get into all of that in this episode, but let me just say this: You do NOT need a website to make money as a holistic nutritionist or health coach. You don't. I have students that come into my program without any website and they are doing just fine working with clients and making money left and right. It's not a prerequisite.
With that being said, it's 2021 and you probably WANT a website. It's certainly not going to hurt, unless the creation of said website sucks up all your time and energy for a month and you don't make any actual money. That's what you're going to avoid by listening to this episode. Enjoy!

11. How to Sell More Without Fear of Rejection Dec 14, 2021

Show notes

Today I'm going to take you through an exercise I teach to my students that completely eradicates their fear of rejection when it comes to marketing and selling their services.
I see this fear of rejection most often with my students that work with clients 1:1 or in small groups, because they feel like they're selling their time and expertise, which feels a lot like selling their own value and worth.
When people don't invest in that, they take it personally. It feels like THEY were not worth the investment. That's what leads to the feeling of rejection, and we know that most humans will go to great lengths to avoid the experience of being rejected. It makes promoting a business very difficult when fear of rejection is looming around every corner.
So how do you move past that fear? How do you overcome that primitive brain response to stay safe in the herd and never be vulnerable to the scrutiny or rejection of others while still marketing your business and telling people you can help them?
You do this by selling the VALUE and RESULTS your clients get, not selling "you" or your time. When you make this one little tweak, everything in your marketing and selling becomes easier and more authentic.
Let me teach you how.

It was such a pleasure to sit down with one of the students in The Profitable Nutritionist Program, Claudia Haller, to get her insights and tips on taking imperfect action and making money as a holistic nutritionist BEFORE feeling like she was ready.
In this interview, Claudia shares her best strategies and takeaways for reviving a stagnant business and finding renewed purpose to serve clients that she used this year to completely blow her own mind about how much money and impact she can make.

9. Stop Undercharging Nov 30, 2021

Show notes

If you aren’t making the consistent income each month that you want to be in your practice, I'm 99.9% sure you're undercharging for your services and you’re experiencing a lot of scarcity and uncertainty about money.
(And you’re in good company because many of my clients have the same patterns until they intentionally put some work into changing their money and pricing mindset.)
When you realize the REAL key to pricing and why your clients will buy from you, you realize that it’s actually easier to sell more expensive offers than cheap ones, and you STOP UNDERCHARGING. Your business is so much more successful and so are your clients.
Let’s talk about it.

8. Expectations vs. Reality Nov 23, 2021

Show notes

You need to EXPECT that there is going to be a learning curve for doing anything new, especially in your business.
Nothing has gone wrong when it isn't easy right away.
That is reality.
The REALITY of being the boss, and working with clients, and growing your practice is that it's not going to be comfortable a majority of the time.
In fact, it feels like crap a whole lot to take risks and be the boss.
No one tells you this. Especially business coaches. It's like there's an unspoken agreement in the business universe that if you do things "right" it isn't really that hard and you don't have to struggle.
And that's a lie.
Ask any successful business owner and they will tell you that there is always struggle and it's totally worth it.
Let's get into it and talk more about what some of those common expectations are and then, of course, what the actual reality is so you can avoid feeling disappointed when you find yourself smack dab in the middle of reality, too.
