In this reflective episode, Natasha invited Patrina Tan to discuss how she became a two-time Amazon #1 best-selling author, the founding of Planet Wellness during the pandemic, and how their non-invasive health check, Iridology, offers personalised insights into long-term health. KEY TAKEAWAYS Transition to Wellness: Patrina Tan left a well-paying but time-unbalanced career as a qualified accountant and auditor to follow her passion, co-founding Planet Wellness during the pandemic lockdown. Iridology as a Core Service: Planet Wellness specialises in Iridology, which is a non-invasive method using a special camera to study the iris of the eye to detect weaknesses in various organs before symptoms appear, offering a better visual experience for the patient compared to a magnifying glass. The Power of Mentorship and Implementation: Her success as a four-time 'Implementor of the Year' demonstrates the value of actively applying learned business strategies and doing the "homework" provided by mentors. Authorial Success through Dedication: Patrina Tan became a two-time Amazon Number One best-selling author by completing a book she started years prior and then accepting a challenging eight-week deadline to write a second business book focused on diabetes. Advocacy for Organic Health in Beauty: The discussion highlights the importance of transitioning the hair and beauty industry towards organic and natural products to minimise exposure to damaging chemicals. BEST MOMENTS "The work life was just not balanced in terms of time." "If I do learn something, I will actually put the practice into it as well. So mainly do the homework." "The pandemic changed the way that we look after ourselves. It gave us a time... to really think out of the box." "Disease or illness hasn't happened overnight. It's been built up for weeks, months, or years." "I think what you're doing is absolutely amazing, because our health is always important."
