This business is called Healthy Numbers because when you are thinking about getting started in business the numbers matter.

You may not think of yourself as a numbers person. Numbers are everywhere and I'm willing to bet you are more of a numbers person than you think you are!

I'm Ingrid Thompson and I am on a mission to help people just like you make great decisions when it comes to figuring out how to get started in your own business. For the past fifteen years I have worked with hundreds of people to create, start and grow their own business.

Based on everything I observed I wrote “So You Want to Start a Business.”

This book is radically changing the way people think about getting started in their own business. Are you ready to embark on this journey together?

I have recently attended business presentations by Ingrid and found them to be informative, engaging and motivating. I look forward to referencing Ingrid's book, the 7 step guide "So you want to start a business" as continuing motivation to drive my own business in the future and I recommend anyone thinking of starting a new venture to read it. I also had the pleasure of working with Ingrid on a photographic project for her own marketing and she embraced the shoot with energy and vitality.

Ingrid's approach is very unique. Her book 'So you want to start a Business, The Seven Step Guide' really hits the nail on the head. the activities in each section have given me a lot of clarity about myself in general, my goals and who I want to become. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants more satisfaction in multiple aspects of life not just those wishing to start their own entrepreneurial journey.

Thank you Ingrid! The perfect read for somebody like myself, who is looking to build their own personal brand and start a business. Particularly useful was the information surrounding business structures which is something I have been confused about.

As someone who is in the initial stages of business, Ingrid's book SO YOU WANT TO START A BUSINESS incredibly practical advice is a wonderful resource. It sits on my desk and it used often! There is so much information out there in the world about business and it is refreshing to have a comprehensive guide to all the questions you may be too embarrassed to ask and someone to say "this is is normal". An excellent resource for the new business owner.

Ingrid has made a huge difference to the success of my business. She has stood by me and supported me through thick and thin and in many ways. One example is that early on, I loved my product (reusable shopping bags for fruit and vegetables)in all its simplicity as it was but some customers and potential customers were suggesting a drawstring be added, a simple change that I wasn't very open to. Ingrid suggested a very simple and easy to carry out survey to find out if it was only a small percentage of people who wanted this or if it was what most people wanted. To my amazement 70% of people wanted the change. The evidence spoke and this made it easy for me to make that small change which became an important turning point for my business. I was so happy with the new bags. It made a simple environmental product much more versatile and yet without Ingrid's guidance I am not sure I would ever have appreciated how important it was to the people who might use my bags.Through Ingrid I also experienced how great it is to have a business family around me. By this I mean access through regular business meetings or catch ups, to a group of other business people with businesses who love sharing ideas, advice, challenges and triumphs and offer non judgemental support for one another and each other's businesses. I could walk into a meeting with Ingrid or one of these groups feeling down but never failed to walk away feeling energised and lighter of foot.When my business has been tough and struggling to survive I always knew Ingrid believed in me and my product and had great practical advice to offer and when I have had some wonderful wins Ingrid has truly appreciated and celebrated them too.So if you have a small business and can put yourself in a space with Ingrid you and your business will be all the better for it.Leandra from Fruity Sacks

Ingrid is a total gem! She is clever, kind and has a sense of humour. But above all she knows her stuff. She has encouraged me to set up my own Virtual Assistant Business and has mentored me over the last 6 months. There is no way I would have done this without her support, her ideas, and her valuable advice. Ingrid has developed a niche working with pilates startups and her online program is great. It is very easy to develop a friendly rapport with Ingrid, especially if you are an animal lover and you like good wine!

The ‘So You Want to Start a Pilates Business’ workshop is more than its title suggests. It more than lived up to any expectation I had. Ingrid doesn’t just present the facts, she teaches you how to arrive at the them. An important bonus for me was that I walked away feeling confident about who my demographic was. Finally, Ingrid is extremely patient, supportive and accessible. She is keen to pass on her knowledge and I found her very easy to learn from.

Ingrid is an extremely talented business professional. She has worked with several businesses very familiar to me, and helped them grow, and in some cases exit their businesses successfully & profitably. Ingrid is very well regarded by her clients, and her online trainings are used by many Pilates & other health professionals (I know because they tell me!)
