What do you need to start a pelvic health clinic? Well, here we go. Most people think I'm going to say you need a table, you need some gloves, you need a chuck pad on, on, you know, chuck pads. You need lotion. That's not what I'm going to say. What I'm going to say is you need to be okay with 50 no's a day. You literally need to be okay with that. That's the number one thing. When I walk into an office or when I go and approach someone, I'm already thinking in my head, I hope they tell me no. I hope they tell me no. I hope they tell me no. Because when I get a yes, then I'm super ecstatic if I get a no, I'm like, yeah, I expected it. It doesn't hurt me because, or it doesn't make me that uncomfortable because I'm already expecting it. I'm already expecting the no.
