  • 112: Designing and Creating an App for Your Business

    My guest today is Benjamin Reisterer, LPC, in Grand Rapids, MI. He has successfully accomplished something that is a frequent topic of discussion in the STC Facebook community: he designed and created an app. It’s called MetaFi, and it’s a more efficient way for clients to track emotions on a daily basis. He had to think outside the box and take action to see this idea become a reality. We’ll discuss the process he went through and the lessons he’s learned.

  • 108: How to Focus on Your ONE Thing
    Welcome to a solo episode about a very important topic: Focusing on Your ONE Thing. This episode is an outgrowth of one of my personal goals for 2017, which is to read one business-related book per month. I’ve already read a book that has impacted me greatly and changed the way I approach my business. The book is The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. The book hones in on the principle that successful businesses with innovative products and services focus on one project at a time, instead of going in many different directions at once. Learn how these principles can positively impact your business. Join me!   You can read the full show notes at www.sellingthecouch.com/session108

  • 107: Building a Private Practice Around Your Passion

    My guest today is Robbin Rockett, a psychologist in CA who focuses her practice on working primarily with single moms. Our topic is building a private practice around your calling and passion. A greater “WHY” makes your practice more sustainable and gives a different perspective than if you just “have a job.” I’ve tried to make this my personal approach, and I’m excited to chat with Robbin about her experiences.
