Description:
It is my pleasure today to introduce you to a fellow naturopathic doctor and business coach, Dr. Andrea Maxim! Andrea does really incredible work in this world in her own unique way. As a practicing naturopathic doctor, author, and business mentor, Andrea helps people move towards MAXIMizing their digestion, MAXIMizing their hormones, MAXIMizing their weight loss, and of course, MAXIMizing their Health! On top of this, Andrea also helps outstanding health practitioners who are financially struggling in running their own practice. She believes running the business side of your clinic should be as exciting and rewarding as helping your patients.

BADASS FUEL — Fuel for Badass Women
Scientifically Supported Ingredients | Support, Not Replacement | Non-GMO
Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation to my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics. Learn more or order the products yourself by visiting BadassFuel.com!
CALL TO ACTION
As we head toward the end of 2020 and into 2021, we need to embrace a sense of courage as entrepreneurs. We need to lean into the fact that the world has changed, and that now — more than ever — give a platform and a voice to our ways of thinking, the gifts that we have, and the capacity for impact that sits inside of all of us. We need to share with individuals how we can help change their lives.
I truly feel that this is the time for entrepreneurs and that the single most differentiating factor for those who are going to make it through the next 24 months (vs. those who will not) is simply going to come down to whether or not you are willing to make courageous choices every single day.
We need to tap into this notion of courage that sits inside of all of us. What will you be doing to become a more courageous you? What is one step you will be taking to push yourself closer to making more courageous choices every single day? Join the conversation over on The Entrepology Collective and let us know!

“I never turn away from the path. I will always say, ‘Yep, this is scary AF. Yes, I’m probably going to lose sleep for a couple of months. Yes, I don’t know if I can do this. But I’m still going to try and let the chips fall where they may.’” — Dr. Andrea Maxim
“What is truth and what is story?” — Dr. Andrea Maxim
“I think if people could stop with the stories, stop with the overplanning, the over-prepping, the overpreparing, and just do it… that’s really been the best way for me to have that courageous action and constantly go forward.” — Dr. Andrea Maxim
