Your Complete Guide to Building a Business That Changes LivesBy Lucy ShrimptonLength2h 27m
About this audiobook
Most people who enter the sleep consulting profession do so with good intentions and very little clarity about what the work actually demands. This book changes that.
Written by Lucy Shrimpton, founder of The Sleep Nanny®, The Sleep Behaviour Consultant sets out what it genuinely means to practise in this field with integrity, skill, and lasting impact. It covers the behavioural science that underpins the work, the human and coaching skills that determine whether families get real results, the professional boundaries that protect everyone involved, and the business disciplines that turn expertise into a sustainable career.
Whether you are exploring this as a career, newly qualified and taking on your first clients, or already working in the field and looking to sharpen your approach, this is the clear-eyed, honest guide the profession has needed.
