Wow! What can I say? Amy is a serial entrepreneur who

has been in business for herself for about nine years; seven of
those have been online. She is also a big believer of running a
business that matches your lifestyle and because of that Amy is now
traveling full time for the next two years. There are so many key
insights from Amy that you can only get from someone who is as
experienced as she is, so tune in and enjoy!

 

Key Insights & Aha

Moments:

You guys are why I'm doing this.

*This is a community. We need each

other and you're not alone!

pricing!

*Amy Love runs Real Food Whole

Health.

*Amy started her online business 7

years ago.

*Online is an excellent way to reach

a lot of people.

*Your business should support the

lifestyle you want to live.

*Too many people build their

businesses on 'shoulds'.

*Remember everyone, nothing is an

overnight success.

*It takes a mindset shift to

interact with clients online.

*An online business is so much more

freeing than a brick and mortar business.

*The online space gives you the

opportunity to create a movement.

*Amy started her blog as an online

resource for her already existing clients.

*Take things step-by-step. You have

to start somewhere.

*Learning how to use the 'tech' in

her business was the biggest challenge for Amy.

*Amy's second challenge was managing

a farm. She has had the farm now for three years.

*Amy has over 200

animals!

*What's Amy's key takeaway from that

experience? Take a little bit of time to plan.

*Take the time to slow down now, so

that you can speed up your business later.

*Mindset is huge! Keep in mind and

know that anything can be learned. There are always solutions to
problems.

*We really lack community in our

day-to-day life, which is why it's so important to seek out a
strong community.

*One piece of advice to someone

who's new at this whole business thing? You are the brand. How you
show up in the world is your entire brand.

*My advice is to always just get

started and let it evolve.

*Think about your brand before you

invest in the big bucks!

*Before we sign off, let's talk

about community.

*You don't need an MBA or several

degrees to get started, what you need is a community.

*It's not about being everywhere all

the time; it's about building meaningful relationships.

Moment:

Community, community, community! When Amy mentioned

this I got excited, because it's so important to drive this point
home to you guys. Too often we feel like we're alone in all of this
and we are simply not! Amy says we often lack community in our
day-to-day lives, which is why finding an online community is not
only great, but convenient too. We need support, especially in the
wellness industry. We are healers, we are givers, but sometimes
giving and giving can wear you thin. A community will help bring
your energy back, your inspiration back, and remind you why you
became a healer in the first place.
