Maggie Berghoff built her company around the life she wanted to live. What began as a one-on-one health coaching practice grew into a multi-seven-figure business that now helps health professionals build companies of their own.

They also discuss the shift from organic content to paid advertising, Maggie's decision to invest as much as $180,000 during a launch, and the simple way a new entrepreneur can begin serving people today.
