out my story. Where I came
from, the journey to get here, and my big vision for you and me and
our industry.

Tips on How to Make Money in Your Wellness Business
Get focused on what it is that you want. Business is personal, and
you need to be clear on the
business model that fits your lifestyle.
Get clear on the one thing that you do really well for your
clients. You cannot be everything to
everyone, so get clear on your super power.
Understand who you serve. Who are the people who want what you have
to offer?
Show up, be present, visible and own your leadership in your
community.
