Have you ever wanted to start into a product based business? In this episode, we welcome guest Bridgitte Mallinson who found incredible success in her shift from an online gut health and business coach to the founder of a gut health product based business. We get into the realities of starting a product based business – what investments and profitability look like, how marketing differs, and what risks and rewards are involved – all with the goal of helping you see if this is the right move for you! 

Bridgitte Mallinson is a functional dietitian specializing in gut health, and business coach and founder of GutPersonal. Her mission is two fold: improve health and wealth for women! After healing herself & a decade of studying functional medicine and nutrition and healing hundreds of women, she realized even women who eat super healthy have a lot of gut issues. She started a gut-health coaching company in June 2020 which skyrocketed to reach $1million in sales in 16 months! With that success, she focused on business coaching in 2021 before launching her personalized line of gut health supplements, GutPersonal. GutPersonal is not only female founded but also female funded and operated. GutPersonal exists to support women in living their best life — heal their gut so they can feel the best and their body!

• Addressing the root cause of business problems versus just the symptoms
• Investing in your business to grow
• How logistics and profitability differ in a product based business
• Marketing similarities and differences for product and service based businesses

Quotes

“You have to have this bigger vision. I wouldn’t start a physical product company if I didn’t have wildly set intentions.”

“We say ‘step back’ but I almost think like just getting silent, and getting quiet and listening to our inner intuition. If I ever feel stuck or I think I need to pivot, I do a shit ton more inner work. I meditate more. I journal more. I do all of these things that help me grow personally.”
