My Origin Story | How I launched my own business & started the Visionary, Inc. Brand.

I didn’t always have a Top Canadian Business Podcast, a Fully-Booked Coaching Business and a Community of 10,000+ visionaries worldwide.

Let’s go back in time…

When I completed my Business and Marketing Degree at The University of Western Ontario (in Canada) I was resistant to seeking traditional 9-5 employment, which was what many of my peers were doing.

The idea of sitting in an office 5 days a week and working under someone else’s vision just felt so misaligned. This was not where I could see myself thriving, but I also needed to earn a living for myself.

After some time away and working abroad in Switzerland for 2 years, I came back to Canada and immediately enrolled at The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. I was intrigued with the idea of diving into my passion (health, wellness and nutrition) while also being able to build an Online Practice and run my own business.

Once I finished the program, I began working with clients right away and I loved the creative freedom that I had when it came to operating my Nutrition Consulting Business. 

Over the next 2 years, I hit some major milestones with my business including:

  • Teaching a 6-Week Sports Nutrition program at Fitness Studios downtown Toronto

  • Working with 100’s of clients in a private coaching manner

  • Launching my 1st ever Online Group Coaching Program 

As I grew my Nutrition Business, I realized my obsession with Business Growth, Marketing Strategy and Relationship Building.

I was no longer passionate about creating meal plans for my clients, but I was passionate about all of the Business Growth Strategies that I was testing and seeing success with.

That’s when I decided to share these Marketing Strategies and Business Frameworks with other Nutritionists and other Wellness Practitioners who felt overwhelmed when it came to launching their business, finding clients, and going full time. 

I started building The Visionary Method™ while working and consulting for some of Canada’s Top Health Food Companies (I spent many years working as a Marketing Manager).  

To advance my Marketing Expertise, I also enrolled in evening courses to study Digital Marketing, Motivational Coaching Techniques, Social Media Strategy, Visual Design, Copywriting, Email Marketing, Online Course Creation, and Product Launch Plans.

Once I had perfected the precise frameworks for Launching an Online Business, Going Full Time and Becoming Fully Booked - I left the corporate world once and for all and have been a Marketing Consultant, Course Creator and Private Business Coach since 2016.

So there you have it!
