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.”
