Practice Building Expert & Consultant for Health Pros in Private Practice - helping you to get more clients, sell more programs and create a profitable functional nutrition practice with multiple streams of income.
After a wonderful week in the beautiful Leelanau Peninsula, we’re back in Lake Geneva. Unfortunately, our 96-pound Labradoodle, Rocky, ruptured his ACL, so we had to cut the trip short to get him the care he needs. He’s scheduled for surgery soon, but he’s been managing impressively on three legs—dogs really are incredible in how they adapt!
On a brighter note, we’re wrapping up my live 3-day event, “Create Your Multiple Streams of Income Plan,” tonight! It’s not too late to join us for the final session at 7 pm CST: “Define Your Revenue-Generating Next Steps: The What, How, and Why to Revenue.” You won’t want to miss it!
I’m also thrilled to be heading to Minneapolis in a couple of weeks for the 2024 FNCE (Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo). Will you be there? Hit reply and let me know!
P.S. If you’ve been dreaming of running a profitable private practice while generating multiple streams of income—but feel stuck on how to bring it all together—now’s the time to act. I invite you to join my 6-Figure Biz Academy 2024-25 cohort. This is the entrepreneurial training you never got in school! It’s like getting your MBA in practice-building, but in just 5 months.

This is Sinking You
There is an idea out there that is costing you both clients and income and literally sinking your business.
Many service providers, coaches, and entrepreneurs think they need to have a huge list, a killer website that comes up on the first page of Google, be posting nonstop on Instagram or have a formalized and intricate sales funnel in place to make any income in their business.
And guess what? It’s a myth. Completely bogus.
The #1 way to grow your business – regardless of ANY of those other elements – is to master having 1-on-1 conversations with potential clients that get them to the point of eagerly wanting to work with you.
Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned veteran, you can go out there right now and get clients if you know how to purposefully handle what I’ll call the “enrollment conversation.”
And that brings us to the #1 biggest mistake that many well-meaning entrepreneurs are making today:
Let’s say you are a health professional, coach or consultant of some kind. In an attempt to get more clients, many of you offer a Free Coaching/Consultation session, or a Free Sample Session. (In fact you may have been taught to do this in coaching school – I know I was!).
So you jump into a session in the hopes that you’ll be brilliant enough or witty enough or enticing enough for that person to say, “Wow, this was a great session, I think I’d like more of these.”
Sad to say, it rarely works out that way. Instead, your potential client says, “Thanks for the tips – I’ll be in touch when I’m done trying them!”
No new client.
An enrollment session, however, is a structured, emotional journey (in the form of a conversation) that you lead your potential client on in order to:
This kind of “free session” is a great way to connect with your possible clients on an emotional level and let them feel the cost of staying where they are and the benefits of taking the leap to move forward (by hiring you!).

“Lesli’s expertise as a coach is phenomenal!”
Before working with Lesli, I was disheartened with healthcare. I saw the limitations of one-on-one and the time constraints were getting to be less and less. Lesli knows what we’re going through – she understands private practice because she’s been there too.
Lesli’s expertise as a coach is phenomenal! She takes your skills and everything you have to bring to the table so you can help the people that you want to help most.
I honestly can’t imagine my professional life moving forward without me working with Lesli. I just can’t imagine it right now. I only have positive things and I’m so looking forward to what comes next.
