BELIEVING IN YOUR PRODUCT
From a basic marketing standpoint, believing in your wellness FIELD means you BELIEVE IN YOUR PRODUCT. Any traditional sales and marketing person will tell you this is the key success factor in promoting ANY product or service.
SO you are already LIGHT YEARS ahead of the game, marketing wise.
More importantly, your personal, often spiritual, faith and belief in your "product" (your helping art) is what will see you through the unfamiliar, sometimes scary process of learning how to promote your practice.
That's because we in wellness are often SOOOO unsure about our abilities on "the business side", that this deep and abiding belief in the value of our work is often the ONLY thing keeping us motivated enough to learn the business stuff as well.
Similarly, believing in your field keeps you in the game when you are just starting out and are unsure how good YOU are perssonally, as a healer. Belief in your field keeps you practicing your personal skills until - shazam - you start to believe in yourSELF (not just, say, in acupuncture or energy healing as a whole).
