I'm excited to spend this hour with you and tell you how I've put my degree to work in running our health food store in rural Missouri. Specifically, we'll talk about:

  • Opportunities available in the industry 
  • How I manage my consultation practice inside our store
  • How my degree has made a difference in my business and community

I'm also excited to share with you about my clients and practice, the practitioner-grade products available to credentialed practitioners and how that elevates your business, using social media in your business including newsletters and how to properly cite (I credit my dear instructor Lauren Shapiro for this knowledge :), my favorite book list right now, industry affiliations and much more.
