Hi! I'm Shari.
My journey into business was an indirect one. It started with my own cycle of yo-yo dieting. To combat the weight gain from emotional eating, I began to diet at the age of 12. My struggle with the on again, off again diet cycle fueled my hunger for knowledge about nutrition and exercise which ultimately led me into personal training and nutritional coaching realm and I opened my own business.
Through the years of working with hundreds clients along with my own experience, and loads of research, I developed the Diet Terminator program. A program that helps people overcome overeating through the psychology of food. The program is now accredited and I teach it to other health and wellness professionals to utilize the step by step system in their practices.
Through the years of operating my business, I realized how ill-equipped I was to be an entrepreneur and it was either sink or swim.
I'm not the kind to sink so, I doubled-down and did everything I could to learn the aspects of being a business owner and allowed my passion for helping others drive me.
I happened to fall into the world of networking by chance. You can read about my miserable first networking experience here. But I ended up loving and even gaining a lot of traction very quickly (which is a huge surprise considering how shy I was).
With many years of success in the networking realm, I acquired the Women, Wine & Wellness networking group in 2011. I knew taking the next step of hosting my own events would build my leadership skills as well as provide a better opportunity to grow my community which would not only grow my business further but would also be personally rewarding.
And, it was!
After experiencing a large jump in business success through hosting my own events, I saw the value in helping other health and wellness professionals develop their businesses in this way. I licensed Women, Wine & Wellness and developed the co-ed version of the group Beer, Buddies & Better Health. I also realize that not everyone feels wine and beer are connected to wellness. So, I also created Inspired Wellness Network to give a more flexible opportunity for everyone within my systems. The key is, these systems are tried and true programs to help small business owners create community and thrive through relationship development without recreating the wheel.
I also help companies of all sizes develop community outreach programs that are unique to them, what they offer, and who they want to attract.
You see, community outreach is about developing relationships. When you develop your community and you have the business platforms you need, you will thrive! People buy from those they know, like, and trust. They also want you to get to know, like, and trust them. This is really where the magic in business happens... No matter if you're a solo-preneur or have a large company. The people who buy from you want to be connected. I believe even more so right now. The world is seeking connection as there is so much havoc. It's time to connect with your community, attract your people, and thrive. Developing win/ win opportunities.
My goal is to ensure passion-driven entrepreneurs have the tools they need to be successful in business while helping more people and making a bigger impact in the process – loving their businesses every step of the way!
I would LOVE to get to know you! Let's talk. I want to hear more about you and what you do and see how I can help.
