Action Practice Building

Networking is the #1 most effective way I know to build a satisfying, sustaining, lucrative therapy practice. I've also noticed that most people's biggest obstacle to success with networking is the belief that it doesn't work! In this week's episode, I invited one of the many wildly successful therapists I know who built their practice through networking to join us to tell us her story and how she did it. If you have doubts about whether networking can work for you, you need to hear what Alyse Freda-Colon has to say!

“Why in the world would anyone want to go networking?” This episode is a success story. Nick talks with Robyn Tamanaha, LMFT, who created her own playbook for networking and reaped the benefits. When you hear the story of Robyn creating her practice and the phenomenal success she’s experienced, you’re going to want to go out and network right away (or possibly see if Robyn will be your therapist!).

Most of us have that one colleague whose business is so exciting and successful and lucrative that we wish we were them. This week, we talk to Tiffany McLain, who teaches therapists how to BECOME that person. Tiffany and I talk about fears, stress, failure and success, and the things that we all face (but rarely discuss) on the road to having a successful and rewarding private practice.

Money stresses most of us out- so what do we do when almost every single hour of our work day involves charging someone? This week, I had the privilege of talking with Linzy Bonham, the creator of Money Skills for Therapists. She and I talk about the emotional and societal obstacles therapists face when building their business and charging money for therapy. If you're one of the thousands of therapists who wants to have an incredible practice but still gets squeamish around the financial aspects, you're going to love what Linzy has to say.

It’s super easy to talk about strategies when the people talking are already secure and comfortable in their practice. But what does Action Practice Building really look like, when the person is trying to build up their caseload? In this episode, we’re joined by therapist Kat Treebrook, who volunteered for a recorded strategy session. Nick and Kat spend time discussing what’s already worked/not worked, refining Kat’s message, and making Kat’s networking plan. If you want to see what Action Practice Building coaching looks and feels like without being on the hotseat (yet!), this episode is not to be missed!
