Okay, friends, let’s have a conversation that could change your entire relationship with money in your practice. 🧐

I’m thrilled to bring you my conversation with the fantastic Shannon Simmons. Shannon is the owner of “Fit For Profit”, a company dedicated to helping health and wellness professionals (like us!) get financially healthy. She's a Profit First Professional and the creator of the insightful Embodied CFO program. 

(I love even the sound of that.)

In this episode, you'll hear her practical, step-by-step breakdown of the Profit First system (it's simpler than you think).  We also explore the crucial (and often overlooked) connection between your money habits and your mindset –  and even how your body feels about money.

You're also going to learn:

  • How to guarantee that your practice will be profitable, starting TODAY.
  • A common mistake that causes 85% of businesses to fail (and what to do instead).
  • A subtle but powerful grounding technique to use when dealing with money stress or making financial decisions.
  • The simple system that will let you pay yourself a bonus every 3 months. 🥳

Guys, I loved Shannon’s energy, and I think you will too.  

So, give this a listen.  Because when you take the time to do this work and take care of your ‘money stuff’, you thrive, and your business thrives. 

And guess what, so do your clients. 🥰

~Wendy

P.S.  Are you already following these principles in your practice? If so, I’d love to hear from you. How has this impacted your business?

(Oh - and don’t forget to leave a review for us! Thank you!)

TODAY’S GUEST: SHANNON SIMMONS 

Shannon Simmons is Fit For Profit’s founder and CEO. As a business owner, she knows what it’s like to face challenges and feel overwhelmed by finances, from childhood and beyond. Her passion for helping small business owners comes from a time when, as a practicing accountant and bookkeeper, she couldn’t pay her OWN tax bill.

Today, she helps  professionals who are passionate about finally finding their profit too.
