Melanie White
Habitology is the art and science of developing success habits for your business and life. Get it right and you'll feel satisfied, fulfilled, joyful and productive.
This is an excerpt from a recent webinar hosted by Melanie White and Sharon Curtain.
We discussed the importance of clear messaging in attracting clients. And we know that it can be challenging to find coaching clients, often lacking due to a lack of market research and understanding of the target market's problems and solutions.

Today I interview Jono Snell about his experience on coaching a segment of the population who really need support – men.
As a physiotherapist and men’s health coach, Jono shares his career journey and highlights the importance of open-mindedness, motivation and caring about yourself and others and their impact on men’s health and well-being.
We discuss the challenges faced by men in their late forties, who struggle with feelings of unhappiness and dissatisfaction. These clients often neglect their health and wellbeing, particularly in terms of sleep and weight management, and often use alcohol or food to distract themselves from feelings of dissatisfaction and loss of mojo.
Jono highlights that self-care is incredibly important because of its impact on relationships, work performance, and overall well-being. If you’d like to learn more about Jono’s work or need guidance on men's wellbeing, reach out to him on LinkedIn.

The global shifts in dietary intakes have led to people eating more sugary, fatty, high-energy food and snack foods, and a decrease in fibre-rich and nutrient-dense foods, especially in younger generations and those who are ‘busy’ and looking for convenience.

Business models for startup and growth
Confidence in your coaching skills
Confidence in your coaching business
In this episode, I talk about setting boundaries with clients and at work so that you can feel in control, confident and create cash flow and greater client success
Today we'll discuss how setting boundaries around your habits, and meet your own needs first, can lead to integrity, feeling happier with life, and finding greater meaning and purpose.
You can get clear on your identity - who you are and what you want - by examining your strengths, beliefs, values and opinions. Then you'll be equipped to set your own standards of behaviour for the most important values you have and more easily identify what you want to say no to, and how to set boundaries with other people.
Early succession planning - that is, planning the way you will run your business and gradually transition out of it or sell it - has lots of great benefits. Here are FIVE that I can think of.
