Challenge: Go to Nature & Listen to Your Inner Self

Self-Employed, Tips and Secrets


Hi Healers!

I have a challenge for you this week:

Go to nature, with a big chunk of time (at least three hours)

and listen in to your inner self.

Just go outside, anywhere, and wander. Let your thoughts go. Listen in for your heart. Get clear on your vision for your life and what you want to bring into the world. Step away from the busy-busy world, phones, and devices.

It’s amazing how much your mind can figure itself out during a big break from the busy-ness we live in each day

The world can wait. Head on out and listen in. I’d love to hear what you discover

Take good care,
Lindsay ♥

The Top 4 Social Media Mistakes that Are Costing You Money, Time, & Clients

Marketing, Small Business, Social Media, Tips and Secrets

What happens when you don’t promote your business on social media? 
The answer here is simple: nothing.

Unless you are using social media for your practice, people simply won’t find you there.

Being present online helps you stay familiar. When you offer valuable insight, resources, and support to your clientele online, it creates tremendous value for your community. In turn, your visibility helps keep you in mind for referrals and scheduling time with you.

Whether you’re on social media already, or are wondering whether you should be, learn to avoid the most common mistakes heart-centered practitioners like you make.

What Do I Write about on My Website?

Marketing, Samples, Self-Employed, Small Business, Tips and Secrets

Lots of people imagine that making a website is a big project that takes lots of time.

They’re right. It is a big project. By big, I mean hugely important. Not time consuming. You can have a simple site up in less than a week. Get your “quick and dirty” website out there now, and make it better as you go.

In today’s world, it’s impossible for most healers to attract clients without a professional-looking website. If you don’t have one, get one today. You’ll never know how many potential clients you lost because they looked at your site and didn’t find what they were looking for or, worse, couldn’t find you at all because you don’t have one.

If someone refers a friend to you, chances are that friend may find herself typing your name (common misspellings and all) into Google to try to find you. You need to make it easy for her. Really, really easy. Because the worst is when you lose a client who was looking for just what you offer, just when you needed them, because you were harder to find than the other practitioner on the list of names her friend gave her.
