84. Making your wellness business a reality: Just Start Now member stories

Doors are open Friday 22nd - Wednesday 27th September 2023 to the Just Start Now community. If you've been wondering about whether it's a good fit for you I wanted to introduce you to five Just Start Now members to share their experience of being on the inside and what they've found the most valuable part of being in the community. In this episode we talk about:  The overwhelm and struggle knowing where to start when you've qualified as a practitioner but don't know how to get clients and make an income (if you're feeling this, you're not alone!) The big mindset shifts the members have experienced since being inside: increased confidence, ability to learn from 'failure' and see what you do as a true business, not just a hobby Investing in what you believe in and how signing up for Just Start Now (or any other business support programme) shows you're backing yourself and your skills If it's possible to be too early to invest in the 'business bit' of your health qualification, or whether committing and learning what we do inside Just Start Now even before you qualify can actually be a really great idea Two core messages from the Just Start Now content: that embracing your niche and getting clear on who you help has been a game-changer and being part of a community that is the "opposite of scarcity mindset" where everyone is open to sharing advice, connections and tips makes transitioning and growing your business so much easier.
