It has dawned on me that there has to be a way to combine my health and fitness expertise and education with my business expertise and education. By March, I will officially have my MBA (masters in business administration), with emphasis in entrepreneurship. Great, but how does that jive with my degree in nutrition, the fact that I am a registered dietitian, and a certified personal trainer???

And, what does that mean if I can’t use BOTH?

This hasn’t been a new topic: All of my mentors and coaches have brought this up in the past, but it didn’t have actual ‘legs’. By this I mean it was not yet ready to take shape and apply to the people I worked with, since many are health and fitness professionals, themselves.

But then a new client came to me, asking for coaching on both! Granted, I already DO do this with a few of my wellness coaching clients, but this new client put it out there from the beginning, where my wellness clients have just gradually advanced to where they were doing great with their wellness goals, but wanted to keep working together and we just progressed to business goals.

So, what does this look like? Easy! If you have or are starting a business, you know that sometimes managing your time is a challenge. It should be easier if you have an existing business, but the REAL challenge is when you are just starting up.

However, this brings up time management, self-care, AND, for my health and fitness clients, practicing what you preach! Afterall, if you can’t find time to eat healthy meals and incorporate fitness into your lives, and you are helping OTHERS do this, what type of example are you setting??

So, in promoting how to JUST JUMP, from now on, this blog is going to focus on how to incorporate aspects of health and fitness into a thriving business, an existing one or a start-up. It CAN be done! And I am here as living proof! My business is actually doing quite well AND I get on my cross-trainer a minimum of 3 days a week and incorporate weight training into my week as a regular part of life.

How can YOU do it? The first step is time management, which we’ll discuss in the next blog.

Meanwhile, here’s to your most AMAZING business AND creating a healthy and fit body!
