Many professionals have a lot of questions about protecting their materials and name. What they are conce ed with is what we call 'intellectual property'. Intellectual property can represent 70% of a company's value, so it is important to not only understand it, but to also understand how best ...
You have 24 hours in a day and a list of things to accomplish that seems overwhelming. Sound familiar? Join the club; we all are trying to fit 30 hours worth of work into 24 hours. Maybe you’ve found it doesn’t work. We can’t manage time any more than we can manage the weather. We can’t save it for a ‘rainy day’, to pull out and come back to when… we have more time! So, the only true solution is to learn how to manage yourself and your actions to make the most out of your 24 hours AND the years in your life. Yes, your life. When I put it that way, it sounds pretty scary, huh?
Many people take garlic, either in supplement form, or in their diet, for its health benefits. Garlic is promoted for improved immune system, improved cardiovascular health, and perhaps even cancer prevention. But what does the science say and can it really benefit you? And, if it doesn’t really benefit you, can it actually harm you? These are the questions addressed in this article. How does garlic work? Garlic has long been considered a natural remedy for many illnesses, including bacterial, viral and fungal infections.
If I had a penny for every time I’ve heard someone say, “But I don’t have the time!” I’d be a multi-millionaire! There are a lot of strategies for getting things done, and tons of strategies to ‘just do it’ when it comes to your health and fitness, but the big issue is many people just don’t ‘do it’. They procrastinate. Some people can’t even use the excuse that they don’t have time! Here are some strategies to help you combat the procrastination that has prevented you from achieving your fitness goals. 1. Self-talk.
If you own your own business, you may often put off taking any real time off to just relax and unwind and rejuvenate. You imagine ‘someday’ being able to take a vacation, but the thought of doing it now only creates more stress. How can you go away when there is so much to do? If you take time off, you may lose a great opportunity! It makes no sense, does it: You started your own business for more freedom, yet here you are, feeling like you can’t afford to get away.
Many business professionals consider contracts as something scary and a detail that often they don't need to conce themselves with. I have heard many clients mention that they don't want to offend the other party. Many people state they don't want the other party to assume they mistrust them, ...
When I was working at the hospital, in the '90's, we accepted dietetic interns and one of those interns was a student from Singapore, whose husband was in medical school at the same time. Their plan was to return to Singapore to open their own wellness center. I share this because it was from ...
As I sit here and work on projects, today, it dawned on me that I should share with all of you entrepreneurs what today is for me: It’s a “Work on the Business” day. And, although some people may have OTHER suggestions on how to work when you have your own business, here are my suggestions for how to make the most out of your business so it thrives AND you have a life. Day Type One: Work ON the Business Dayr
An early step I take with my Platinum clients is to walk them through having a marketing conversation with potential clients so they quickly start to grow their business. One of the effective strategies to set up that conversation is to send out a promotional email. You don’t need to feel you have to wait to get your website set up or start up an electronic newsletter; all of us have a list of people we can contact. And, if you don’t have clients, it’s one of the easiest ways to GET clients!
All of you who own a wellness business will at some time offer a presentation of some type. Others of you are striving to make presentations part of what you offer in your business. Personally, I LOVE giving presentations! To me, it’s a high, standing up in front of the audience and challenging them with ideas and ways to think differently. Don’t you want YOUR audience to be at the edge of their seats, following your every word with anticipation and excitement? Then you want to at least include these six ways to make YOUR next presentatio DYNAMIC and one they’ll remember:
Do you dream of having your own private practice, so you can enjoy your family and friends, take more time off work, and do your life’s purpose? I would imagine your answer is yes! Quite often, though, something gets in the way of the initial vision of a thriving business. What I hear most often is that women (in particular) do things to hold themselves back, because they feel that if they get too busy, they won’t be able to enjoy their family and friends or take more time off from the business.
There's nothing more satisfying than working with clients over a long-period of time, developing a relationship with people whose lives you help improve, live the life-purpose you are meant to live, and get paid really well while you're doing it. Isn't that what YOU want, too? I bet it is. One of these situations might be you: - You have a business, but no matter how hard you work, you still can't get ENOUGH clients, or keep them long enough to help them make permanent changes to their health.
We’ve all heard the term ‘multi-tasking’. And, to some extent, many of us do it every day. We want to accomplish as much as possible in a set amount of time. But, according to experts, multi-tasking actually hurts our productivity! And, if you think about it, you’ll probably realize they’re ...
I hear all the time from wellness professionals (who seem to be the epitome of perfectionists) who say they don't blog. When I ask them why, I hear the same thing over and over again. Let's see if any of these reasons hit home for you. 1 - I don't blog because I don't know what to say First, I have to say I don't believe that. But if it really IS true, then think of it this way: When you talk to someone, what topic, related to what you do for a living, could you talk on and on and on about? What topics just light you up, that you feel a passion about?
How are you doing? Do you feel stressed or overwhelmed? Maybe on the edge, but not sure the edge of what? It's hard to avoid listening and reading all the doomsday press and not let it get to you at times. According to the International Council of Shopping Centers, 73,000 stores will shut their ...
