Reviews found on Amazon:
 
This handbook along with the workbook took me step by step beginning with a core understanding my own strengths. All of the details that we could easily miss when beginning this venture are covered. No reason to re-invent the wheel. Trisha Torrey has given us directions and a wonderful, strong base to build our business on.
   
  Covers all you need to know to start in private practice as a health advocate and get a good start. It doesn't shunt off financial and business requirements amidst a plethora of hype. This book is just what I needed.
   
  Excellent book and I highly recommend to anyone starting a new business of any kind. Trisha writes with whimsy and fact and once you start you can't put it down. LOTS of wonderful how-to's. She takes you from how to develop your thoughts about your business to the marketing of your business. I can't say enough positives about this book. If you're thinking about getting this...GET IT!

Just a heads up... 

We'll be in the office, and working, and here to help you if you need help.


But the Agenda will take a vacation, as will the blogs and other new materials....

Instead we're working hard to prepare for our upcoming Academy program.

The Agenda will be back in your inbox
August 4.
