Back (yet again) by popular demand, it's Hailey Rowe!
Hailey is what we refer to as a "real deal" business coach. For her, this isn't a hobby she does on the side. It's not something she just started 6 months ago and claims to be an expert on, either. Hailey has been a successful business coach for many years now, and we know for a fact that multiple FDN practitioners have worked with her (or are working with her) and have nothing but good things to say.
After joining us to discuss a variety of different topics over the last few years, Hailey will now be breaking down her top time management tips for health coaches (and, frankly, any type of entrepreneurially-spirited person).
We hope you enjoy this episode, and as an aside, Hailey will be joining us again for a very special event in June of 2024. Stay tuned!
