Meet WellProNet member, Heather Pierce Giannone.

Heather comes from a long line of entrepreneurs in family business and has turned that insider knowledge into helping other entrepreneurial folks get healthy.

She joined WellProNet in Spring 2010 and here’s what she has to say about what she enjoys most from her membership:

"All of the WellProNet tele-trainings are really helpful and I am continuously blown away at how many fantastic, useful tips are shared and how Karin really breaks it down into a foolproof method to apply to my own business.

For example, in the training call on “What to Say to Decision Makers to Land Speaking Engagements” I loved the tip on how to talk about their budget in a classy way, how to ask for testimonials from your presentations, how to make the event coordinator look good (and get asked back!), and the checklist of questions to refer to (so I won't forget a thing)."

I really feel like the WellProNet membership is undervalued!

So thank you, I’m extremely happy that I joined.”

WellProNet Featured Member: Ellie Ballentine, Mindset Mentor

Meet Ellie Ballentine.

She’s a Canadian therapist turned Mindset Mentor with a knack for helping her clients transform their setbacks and challenges into breakthroughs.

Ellie’s been a member of WellProNet since December 2009 and here’s what she has to say about being part of this professional community of wellness pros:

“I've been inspired with new ideas, refined my own ideas for my growing practice, and developed new strategies and confidence.”

Being a member of WellProNet has brought me a community of like-minded people and resources that support the marketing of my business.

What I love the most is the Topic of the Month where Karin presents an idea, challenge or marketing tool that is always pertinent to my business, and also a "Hot Topic" at the time.

She seems to keep her finger on the pulse of our growing business needs and creates the monthly “How To” topics that informs, covers the advantages and disadvantages of what she’s presenting and offers simple, actionable steps that we can take right away.

Being a part of the WellProNet community, I've been inspired with new ideas, refined my own ideas for my growing practice, and developed new strategies and confidence.

And best of all, there is a great response rate to questions within the group and the network’s resources are phenomenal!

Thanks Karin, for creating such a rich, resourceful community!”

Annette Varoli of AnnetteVaroli.com, WellProNet Member

Meet Annette Varoli.

She's a wellness wiz turned teen motivational speaker, inspiring kids to succeed in school and become leaders of their lives.

Annette's been a member of WellProNet since December 2009 and here's what she has to say about how WellProNet has helped her.

"The WellProNet resources and recommendations are cutting-edge and they cut my learning curve in half.

The first thing I must say about WellProNet is that something magical happens when you receive support from  a business savvy marketing person who is also a "wellness" professional like Karin. I felt like I was in the same vibration with the insights Karin shared through WellProNet, which made for a successful smooth-sailing experience.

For example, her weekly 1-minute tips seem to come exactly when I needed to hear them. I laughed out loud when I heard her tip on waiting to do a spring cleanse until I had more downtime or on vacation. Her reasons being that detoxing can really throw business professionals off their game. I laughed because I had just started a cleanse that day and was having doubts. I decided to do a more gentle cleanse as a result of hearing her tip.

What also worked great for me is that Karin sends out all the WellProNet audio recordings of her monthly training calls.  This was great because I was able to listen to them on my own schedule.  Also, whenever I had a particular question around my business, I was able to go into the WellProNet forum and gain access to past training calls and expert interviews that were loaded with relevant information to grow my business. 

In fact, this summer, I'm going to re-listen to the office organization teleseminar and implement all the steps that Karin learned from organizing her office. This alone is going to save me tons of money because Karin is passing on information she learned from a professional organizer and now I don't have to hire one. 

Karin is a real expert who is smart and knowledgeable but what's great is that she's always investing in her own business. This keeps her current and she turns around and delivers all her new knowledge to her members which really makes WellProNet a steal!  Her resources and recommendations are cutting-edge and she just cuts my learning curve in half.  I know with Karin and the WellProNet community, I'm on the fast track to success."

WellProNet Featured Member: Meet Ali Shapiro

Meet WellProNet member, Ali Shapiro. Ali helps career dieters who want an exit strategy to feeling healthier, lighter and in charge of their health – without going on another soul-crushing meal plan.

As a founding member of WellProNet for the past year, she has a lot to say about how she and her nutrition practice benefit from the resources and trainings in the Wellness Professional Network:

"What I’ve learned is that you can want to save the world with the work you do, but in order to do so, you have to play buy the rules of business. This means challenging yourself in ways that can be new and sometimes uncomfortable. Having the wisdom and practical advice of Karin and the resources of WellProNet (WPN), I'm able to take my pie in the sky vision and apply real world application with confidence.

I also love hearing about how other wellness practitioner’s are succeeding. When you are on the cutting edge of a new industry, it's important to have like-minded individuals who are also making real health-care reform possible. I like that members in WPN are serious about some field in wellness and are doing the hard-work to make it happen. It keeps me going.

Finally, I can't say this enough – my favorite thing from WPN is the real advice you get on marketing and running a business. So many people out there tell you it's just about your mindset or just visualizing your life and practice turning out the way you want. But with WPN, you get some of that, but more than anything, you get the real-world advice you need to run a wellness business, which is different than a traditional for-profit business. The tools and teachings are all informed by a desire to help others while also keeping yourself and your business well.

If you’re in the life transformation business, I highly recommend membership to WellProNet.”

WellProNet Featured Member: Lisa Cummings

Meet Lisa Cummings.

Lisa joined WellProNet when she was ready to transition out of her art director career and leverage her passion for health and healing into a new exciting business. Now she's traded her daily commute and high-powered meetings for writing helpful newsletters, articles and giving presentations on the power of nutrition.

Here's what she has to say about being a member of the Wellness Professional Network:

"When I first joined WellProNet, I was looking for help to get me  started in my first year of running my own practice.

Looking back, I know I made the right decision. I can't imagine any other way to continue building my practice and confidence levels as a health coach than with WellProNet. And I can finally say, I'm getting the things done I said I was going to do and stopped procrastinating. Do you know how good that feels?

WellProNet gives me ongoing support in a "how-to" practical, step-by-step manner that resonates so well with me. And Karin delivers it all with passion, knowledge, humor and fun.

Listening to the WellProNet training tele-classes every month and the weekly coaching minutes, it's as if Karin knows exactly what I am thinking each week and what part of my business needs attention to keep it healthy, profitable and sustainable. Whether it's how to set up an online scheduling system, learning the do's and dont's of networking, creating a marketing calendar, or filling an event or promotion,I really feel like I am on the cutting edge of information to keep my practice alive and running strong.

The best part of it all is that during these tele-classes, Karin teaches me that I don't have to be different, change my personality or become an ego-maniac to become successful. I have learned through her excellent leadership and training that I can be an expert in my field and just be me!

I am grateful to have Karin and WellProNet as an ongoing resource for my business. I highly recommend membership for anyone interested in taking their health practice to the next level and learning so many positive things about themselves with the support of other wellness professionals during the process. It's a win-win all around!"

Meet Holli Thompson of NutritionalStyle.com. Holli took a big risk when she left her high-powered career as a Fashion Executive for Chanel. Now she's gone from fashionista to nutritionista, and spends her days showing women how to develop their own authentic style, only this time, from the inside out using the power of food and nutrition.

As a year-long member of the Wellness Professional Network, here's what Holli has to say about her membership to WellProNet:

"Being a member of WellProNet has inspired me to change things up, and has been a fantastic support for my company this past year. Through online support, weekly 1-minute audio tips and monthly classes, Karin manages to personalize her message so that you feel you are being taken care of and your individual business needs are being met. 

 

The monthly WellProNet teleclasses  are professional and content rich- really rich! I often find myself with a page of resources to look into and choose from.  I think that is what has meant the most to me, her ability to share what she knows and to direct you to all kinds of information you need to grow your business. From web designers, to online schedulers, blog spots, assistants, photographers, shopping carts,

 

Karin doesn't hold back anything. She shares a lot on the monthly training calls and I make sure to make the most of it! And best of all, she is willing to map out the "how to's", from teaching a teleclass, to marketing one, she leads you step by step through the best way to do things.

 

Karin manages to stay ahead of the curve and definitely one step ahead of my business and it feels great to have a resource like this to turn to when there are so many things to figure out in your first few years of business. I highly recommend WellProNet for your growing wellness biz!"

WellProNet Featured Member: Wendy Down

Meet WellProNet Member, Wendy Down. Life coach extraordinaire, energy clearing wizardress and Founder of The Consciousness Playground - an online coaching club for those interested in exploring the power of quantum physics in their everyday life.

She is masterful in helping healers and other life transformation experts clear the inner barriers to fully stepping into doing the work they love and making the difference they feel called to do.

Here's one way Wendy has benefited from her membership at WellProNet.org. Wendy decided to model the WellProNet membership site functionality for her own coaching club and here's what she had to say about it:

"I've run an online community for about 3 years but always felt frustrated by some serious limitations in the community forum I was using.    After joining WellProNet, I fell in love with how open and accessible the WellProNet Online Community made the other members, and the group itself felt to me.  

 

I loved being able to view the photos and descriptions of other members every time they posted.  I also found, the emails I received from WellProNet looked professional and was so customizable my preferences.  

 

On top of that, I really appreciated how Karin had set up the Member Discussion Forums and organized the resources - everything was in one spot, and it was easy to find past recording and transcripts and to catch up on conversation threads that I'd missed.   

 

 

Within a few months of being a member of WellProNet, I decided to kick my online community up a notch (a BIG notch!) and set it up exactly the way Karin had done.   Setting up the site was even easy to do to, since I didn't have to make any decisions - I just looked at what Karin had done and duplicated it.

 

 

Thanks Karin.   I LOOOVE the way my online community (www.ConsciousnessPlayground.com) looks, feels and interacts now!"

What does publishing two books do for you?

Make you rich?

Unfortunately, not usually.

Make you an expert? You betcha.

And when you've positioned yourself as an expert witha book or two, just like WellProNet Member Alexandra Jamieson of NutritionforEmpoweredWomen.com has, then you get companies like Kashi asking you to do a little video on what you know.

It's a great example of how to use video to share your expertise.
