🚨 We are LIIIIIIIVE! https://www.skool.com/live/vVrF7ttj9FY 🚨

As we build and bake the value into this space together, I wanted to get a better sense from you all about what it is you are looking for. What are you mainly hoping to gain from being here?

Hi all, I hope you're having a brilliant Monday! Tomorrow we are having our first ever community coffee hour at 4pm Brisbane time - the link is in the Calendar. Hope to see you there!

I wanted to write another welcome post specifically for everyone who has come in overnight because woweeeee I didn't expect that Tiktok to pop off as much as it did! So a super warm welcome to @Nutrition Barbie, @Amelia Lowe, @Kate Chalker, @Sophie Thomson, @Zoyah Bhanotha, @Kylee Henson, @Naomi Watson, @Madeline Rose, @Natalie Miller, @Kylee Gurney, @Nghi Pham, @Ellie Weber, @Caitlin Donohoe, @Elesa V And if you're tagged here there was something in the question of "Are you excited to wake up in the morning as an Allied Health Professional?" that brought something up for you. It might be a "no I'm not". It might be a "sometimes". But regardless I want to recognise the courage and bravery it takes to think along these lines and admit out loud that you do want more, and you deserve to want more! So I take my hat off to you, and thank you for being in this space. The way you will get the most out of it is by continuing with that openness and courage to speak the things aloud that you are either running from or running towards. I should also probably introduce myself and let you know why I'm so incredibly passionate about this topic: - I graduated physio in 2010, and felt things going downhill after a couple of years - 5 years out, it got too much to bear and something shifted in me that said "this cannot be all there is to life?!" - admitting that I wasn't completely fulfilled in my career was one of the most powerful and impactful moments of my entire life, because it lead to opening up to all these other opportunites - I cycled 3000km solo across Europe and took a sabbatical, I started a new business, I rowed 4500km across the Pacific Ocean and set two guinness world records, went on to coach hundreds of people in mindset and also teach Entrepreneurship at QUT in Brisbane - So this matters to me because I don't want anyone else to have to go through what I went through, the pain and loneliness of feeling like I had to leave a "good" career (in hindsight I don't actually think I did have to leave, to be clear!) and to bring a group of people together who are actively moving towards and wanting more.

@Michelle Du ... I was sitting here replying to your comment on the courage and vulnerability thread and I decided to turn this into a whole post because there is so much in it!!! See the screenshot for the conversation so far or you can head to this post. Michelle has this vision for an aesthetic women's coffee bar/gym/physio and to shift into move of a coaching role than a hands on role. But acknowleges this will need a decent chunk of change 💰 to do it ... which is true. Buuuuuuuut ... this is where our MVP mindset comes in! MVP = Minimum Viable Product (and you all might already know this, if so please skip ahead! But I wanted to include this as it's really important foundational knowlege here.) The Ferrari = beautiful women's physio coffee bar gym. The Ferrari gets your people from A to B in style, comfort and luxury. The Ferrari is 💵 expensive. The Skateboard = the MVP. It will get your clients from A to B. It might not be so pretty or so comfortable, but it does the job it is promising it can do on the label. AND you can afford to build a skateboard! So then we need to figure out what does the Skateboard need to do? What is the Skateboard's essential job, if it can only do one key thing for people? Then you can turn it into a bike. Then a car. Then a truck. Etc etc ... only adding more features when you know it's what people want. And equally that you are building something that YOU want to keep building! Because new ventures don't always turn out exactly like we'd like them to. (Hands up if that's ever been your experience ... because 🙋‍♀️ ) So let's spitball some MVP ideas: If coaching is the core job: Start testing out more coaching services as a value add package (if you are working for yourself of course) to current clients who fit. Or do some cold outreach. Or create an email campaign specifically around this to your current list.
