1. Where your focus goes, your energy flows. Want more on this topic? Listen to this episode with Dr. Seth Scott.
2. Be patient. Have patience but take action.
3. Network with like minded people. Over social media and in person.
4. Don't be afraid to pivot.
5. Fake it before you make it or the be.do.have. mindset.
6. People are listening/watching but you may not know it.
7. Authenticity is key.
8. Don't be afraid to be vulnerable.
9. Ask for what you need.
10. You're not going to be everyone's cup of tea. And that's ok because you can't please everyone.

Have you thought about creating continuing education as a side income? Are you working on ways to diversify your income with courses? Perhaps you want less time in the therapy chair and more time using your other therapist skills? I totally get it, friend. I really love creating continuing education for a number of reasons but mainly I love paying it forward to the profession. Helping therapists gain the skills and knowledge they need to help their clients really lights me up!

In this episode, I want to share what I'm noticing in terms of CE trends and give you a couple of things to think on as you ponder if creating continuing education is your next step to time freedom.

Plus, I also share some personal branding tips that will help you grow your visibility before you even create your continuing education course.
