FROM HARD LESSON TO EMPOWERED PASSION

FROM HARD LESSON TO EMPOWERED PASSION

My desire to be in the fitness industry came from a curiosity and complete awe of the human body, how it works and what’s its capable of doing. Developing into a passion for wanting to use my knowledge to make a positive impact on people and their quality of lifestyle.

Personally, as my thirst for ongoing knowledge both widened and deepened in more aspects of health, not only to better my own understanding and application in my healthy lifestyle habits, but to make a greater impact on those I worked with. As wonderful and beneficial as this was, it also brought some pretty tough realisations.

The first was that while my initial training and passion for fitness is an important component of the picture, alone is not as empowering or beneficial to longer term results and sustainability, as a more complete holistic approach.

Secondly even with my multidisciplinary background, I could not be all things to all people at the level that everyone needed. Yes, a hard pill to swallow and accept when you so badly want to truly impact people on such a larger and long-term scale in their health and wellness.

But in the end, to be able to deliver a journey of real and deep evolution and personal understanding at the highest levels in an all-encompassing way, was beyond what I could realistically deliver on my own.

However, the real beauty in accepting and embracing this, opened up a whole new world of powerful possibilities. There are so many incredible, passionate experts within the wider health and wellness industry being open to what can be achieved collectively can reap many benefits personally, professionally, for your clients and your business.

Here is what I found as stand out benefits to strategic collaborations and facilitate a larger impact when working together with aligned vision, passions and purpose.

-       When you surround yourself with other experts either in your field or aligned fields, it helps you to continue to grow and learn from others expertise, knowledge and experiences, to help you keep getting better and better at what you do.

-       It provides an opportunity to complement and enhance your offering for a more holistic approach.

-       Provide a sources of addition value either free or monetised to increase leverage and income within your business.

-       It can enhances your personal brand when you collaborate with other experts.

-       It helps to deepen and broaden your clients experience along their health journey, increasing engagement and retention.  

-       Can be utilised to create VIP offerings, online options, special events, aligned programs or unique experiences.

 

I believe the benefits and options available through collaborations are unlimited which is why it has become such a passion of mine. Helping others to connect and utilize collaborations which honor and support moving them forward in their mission, sharing their passion and serving them impacting more lives in positive ways with their health and wellness. 

How do you utilise collaborations?

What's your experience been like working with other experts within or from aligned industries?

Thanks Melissa Milford, I couldn't agree more and partnerships and collaborations with people with values that align with my own has been a key focus and priority for a long time. I always say that 1+1=9 as you can achieve so much more working in collaboration with others, than alone.
