Behind the Scenes
I have a confession to make. I am one of those people who slow down to drive through the neighborhood at night so I can see the inside of peoples houses. It’s not like I’m a peeping Tammy…lol, well, it kind of sounds like it doesn’t it. I like seeing what kind of furniture, fabrics, […]

Adding Products in With Your Programs
In 2012 I designed a program that was specifically created to be used with supplements (vitamins and minerals). At the time, it was my intention to promote a clean supplement line with the program.

How to Get More Customers
We did a questionnaire for Building Abundance. The conclusion with 98% of the answers is… Many Health Coaches do not understand what goes into getting customers.

How to Build a Health Coaching Business in 12 Weeks
In the health coaching industry, there is no “get rich quick” plan. If you make a plan and work hard, you can make a good living. You can’t skip that part though. Just stumbling around isn’t going to get you any place. That is why I wrote Business Plans. I wrote it myself […]
Why Do Health Coaches Fail?

Living Up to Our Own Expectations
