The mistakes that a multi-million dollar company made are the same mistakes I see happening in group private practice.

👉Lack of planning for scale

👉Creating positions for people instead of for the business

👉Lack of valuing the team

I see this is the smallest of group practices to the largest BUT the good news is, it can be turned around.

Elizabeth went back to school later than most, but she knew the kind of clinical work she wanted to do and wasn't going to be held back by anything.  She shares how she overcame her fears during startup, the details of her marketing techniques as an introvert, and why everyone who wants to build a private practice can and should go for it!

We spoke with Alicia about whether agency work is truly reliable (spoiler - it's not!), and she shared the details of her transition from a no-good website to a full family AND full practice that operates on an optimal schedule for her.

Pandemic, Private Practice, and You Part 3:

We planned this Masterclass series for therapists months ago with NO idea that there would be a pandemic in progress when it come up. We thought long and hard about whether we should cancel or reschedule. Ultimately, we realized that the thousands of therapists who registered needed support, direction, and community now more than ever. We extended Q & A time each week and answered people's questions as the situation changed. We are sharing this here to provide support to our audience. With just responding to people and pivoting to the needs of our community, we apologize that updating our podcast escaped our attention. But, we are proud to say that our blog has been viewed by almost 40,000 therapists in the past week. You can make a difference. People need you!

Today we talked about marketing plans during a pandemic with an amazing panel of therapists!

We heard from Cyndi Doyle who owns a group counseling practice in Denton, TX and is a law enforcement couples expert.

The work you do as a clinician is sacred. For all the studying we do and the techniques we refine, at its core the magic lies within the relationship you have with clients.

But running the business side of way can prove to be a distraction from the awe of the work sometimes. You get bogged down in the to-do's of running your business, seeing your clients and trying to meet the demands of your personal life as well.

But if you are watching this, you have an opportunity to take just a few minutes and reflect.

What have you accomplished? What are you proud of? What do you know now more deeply than ever?

Now is the time to create your Reverse Bucket List.

It is from this list that you can move into your visioning for the new year. We have a whole challenge on creating your vision. It's perfect for planning, or when you feel stuck or when you need to get the creative juices going.

Burnt out, unhappy, and taking action that didn't align with her vision, Megan realized she needed a change.  Now, she values the growth of her practice day-by-day and sets aside more time for the things that matter most.  Small steps culminate in long-term goals, which allow longevity in your practice!
