Life Stream Business Services Reviews 12

I recently completed a 4 month business course with Bill Hershey–it was one of the best investments I’ve ever made. For most of my professional life as a Yoga Therapist, Somatic Movement Coach, and Āyurvedic Health Counselor, I’ve had a complicated relationship with promotion and marketing because of a reluctance to “sell” myself (a reluctance common to many “heart-centered” providers I know). This led to wishful thinking that clients would somehow find their way to me. Bill helped me shift my mindset so I could discover a spiritual path in the work of promotion. It’s my obligation and responsibility to share the teachings I’ve received in order to help as many people as I can–the work is about my clients, not about me. With Bill’s encouragement, I learned how to identify my ideal clients and begin to craft consistent messages that clearly describe my offerings and how these teachings can help them. I’ve also learned to streamline my business practices to make it as easy as possible for clients to meet with me. If you are not sure how to establish and grow your business and shudder at the thought of marketing, reach out to Bill. He is knowledgeable, thoughtful, supportive, and has practical suggestions to make the process of running your business feel like a creative endeavor and not drudgery. I am seeing more clients now than I ever have in the past and that’s entirely due to what I learned in his course. Sign up now. You won’t regret it.

Bill has a unique skillset of a combination of alternative health, psychology, business and IT, about which he is very knowledeable and very generous in sharing his advice. He quickly establishes a rapport and is able to nail down to the nitty gritty what is required for people to move forward and how to identify pain points to increase perceived customer value, in a very non salesy way.

He is totally non judgemental and is willing to help everyone from those with a 'big vision' to big companies already established. He is especially passionate about finding a viable way for people trying to turn holistic health from a side hustle to their main income source, has multiple useful connections and is studying Ayurveda to increase his already huge knowledge base.

I highly recommend him, especially for anyone with an idea in their mind that they want to fulfill, as the next step for getting it out of your head and into action.

As a holistic healthcare student transitioning from a different career, I had some ideas and questions about starting my own business, but wasn’t sure where to begin. Not knowing many professionals in this field who own their business, I was hoping to find someone who could talk through the process with me. I was so happy when Life Stream offered me that opportunity. In just one session, they explained some accounting and business startup basics, answered my questions, and even helped me sift through my thoughts and doubts about whether (or when) I might start a business. While I haven’t taken the leap yet, I definitely feel more prepared and knowledgeable. And if I have any questions in the future, I would go to this company again for guidance.

Bill Hershey is an excellent coach. He provided me with Game Changing ideas on pricing my services. I highly recommend him.

At my first meeting with Bill I learned the real value of relationship coaching. Bill walked me through a process that allowed me to see real world examples of the emotional, financial, and generational effects divorce has on the parents and their children which gave the courage to price my services accordingly. Thank you Bill!

I recently completed the Business Lifestyle Design program offered by Bill Hershey, owner of Life Stream Business Services. The practical support I received through this brilliant program far exceeded my expectations, providing me with invaluable strategic marketing advice to help me take my coaching business to the next level. I was consistently impressed by Bill’s practical business know-how and keen communication skills. What truly sets him apart from other coaches I’ve come across, though, is his remarkable attentiveness to my deepest values, helping me chart a path to growth in alignment with my lifestyle goals.

Bill came into the Pharsyde Business Builder as a guest business coach and educator. He did an amazing training session on cashflow management and then returned for a Q&A evening where his input and insight were invaluable to my members!

Bill is an excellent trainer, full of knowledge that he is so incredibly eager to share - and he teaches clearly and succinctly, making financial concepts easy to understand, and even fun!

We would happily have Bill back as a trainer any time!

I’ve been working with Bill for the last year. I am practitioner of Ayurvedic Medicine with a private practice. The book-keeping and business support Bill has provided me has been absolutely invaluable. I have never been more confident in the financial well-being and organization of my practice and life.

Using Somatic Experiencing in Bill's Embodied Pricing Consultation, I was able to get in touch with the underlying pattern of behavior that has prevented me from charging appropriately for my services. After the session, I worked through some suggested homework from Bill and experienced an entire shift in my way of approaching my work. In truth, I discovered how much I've been undervaluing myself. The shift increased my confidence and even helped me establish better boundaries in regards to the number of hours I have been working. The power in this process is that I had known all of these things in my mind, but changing the patterns required that I change and shift them in my body. It was a powerful experience and worth the investment!

Bill was helpful in providing me the big picture and the details of how to enter some transactions. He showed me around Quickbooks. In the process of explaining the transaction, I also learned how to navigate QB, as well as how to enter transactions. Knowing my way around the program better, improved my confidence. He is calm, patient and a good listener. Even when I was super stressed, he was not. The effect was positive, and with getting the work done, and with a good amount of learning knowledge and understanding. Thank-you Bill!

Best bookkeeper ever! Bill has been completely awesome. He's super thorough, honest, patient and transparent about his processes and pricing. He totally transformed my books from a disaster that I couldn't share with my accountant to an organized tool that I can use to make informed decisions about our company finances. Thank you so much!

Bill has been an absolute Godsend in my life.
Before I started working with him, I had little to no experience with keeping track of my finances and managing my books in my newly started business. Bookkeeping sometimes felt like a dirty word that I didn’t want to think about or give any attention to.
During my time working with Bill, I began to realize that bookkeeping wasn’t anything terrifying, it was just a simple step by step process that with regularity and attention, could be easily managed.
I have known Bill for many years, and cannot think of anyone better to help me. manage my finances. His calm and collective demeanor, can help and encourage any scaredy cat like myself.
His 15 years of experience really shines through in his acute attention to detail, his knowledge and expertise, and his high integrity. He will guide you through everything you need to know and answer any questions that come up. If he doesn't know the answer, he will find it at get back to you right away.
After working with people for the last couple of months, I’m no longer ignoring my check book and running for the hills. I can look at my books with confidence, knowing that they are in trustworthy hands and being managed with the highest integrity.
I am so grateful for Bill’s help and support over these last couple months.
I cannot recommend him highly enough!

If you are looking to hire a bookkeeper, Make Bill your #1 choice!
