And then there were my kids. When you
watch your child suffer, it breaks your
heart. You wish them nothing but health
and happiness. My husband and I knew
that we were responsible for making the
necessary health changes for our children.
As parents we are given a chance to be
proactive instead of reactive in both our
own health and that of our children. We
realized that we are their role models and
must lead by example. In hindsight, I
really wish that I had someone to assist me
and guide me as I navigated my way
through. This is what I want to offer all
parents.
What have been some of your failures with your business?
I don’t believe I have failed at anything, however the lessons I have learned include:
1. Trying to do every thing on my own.
I spent hours watching You-tube videos on websites
and funnels. I lost hours of productivity that I could have spent marketing myself. I
eventually employed a Business Coach to help with clarity and direction. I also sourced Kylie
Malcolm to redesign my website. In hindsight, I really wish I had prioritized this part of my
business plan much sooner. It is important to work out what requirements you feel you need
to run your business the way you want it to flow (website, email automation, photos etc).
This will help you identify what you can outsource and what you can do on your own.
2. I didn’t have a set structure for my coaching sessions. More recently I have implemented
session record forms in alignment with the programs I am offering. I am finding this mode
of delivery beneficial for both the client and myself. It assists with accountability and is a
fantastic record keeping tool.
