The Fully Booked Therapist Podcast w/Heather Hammell. Business coaching for hands-on therapists who are done underearning.

We all want what is best for our clients. We all want them to get out of pain and return to active and meaningful lifestyles as quickly as possible. What if “quickly” also looks like treatment taking a year or longer to achieve? What if that long stretch actually serves clients better and more fully, more permanently. What if more issues are resolved because of the longer length of treatment? I pose these questions to you so that you can think about what is truly possible and best for your clients when they come for treatment. How can you have an honest conversation about treatment length that gives them the best outcome?

Lots of people out there are looking for the quickest, easiest, cheapest fix to their problem. I think this is a thought error that is pretty common to have. Of course, we’d all like things over and done with quickly and efficiently right? But why? Why is quicker better?

And I want to offer that we just need to educate our clients on why that isn't a great idea. We must talk about what results are possible for our clients so that they know exactly why they want to buy MFR sessions from you. We also want to set the proper expectation for the time they should spend in treatment. Our clients must understand that commitment to their treatment equals better outcomes. If you're thinking, “ I can't control how many times my clients come to see me.” Actually, you can. You just have to change your client concept and your Therapist Self Concept. 

It is possible to attract high-quality patients that are determined to get better, who want to be there for multiple visits, who want to work with you, who want to understand and want to know what is possible for them. I’d put my name on all of those outcomes from patients who stayed and got what they came for. I’d rather not put my name on the “one-off” clients who just didn’t get it or wouldn’t take the time to.

 Listen in to learn how you can create results you’d love to stand behind.

There is a huge difference between looking busy and being actually busy (with clients, with our lives). We often do busy work or tell ourselves and others we are busy to avoid feeling like a failure or to feel like our business growth is more in our own control when we are feeling out of control of it. We spend time worrying and running ads and feeling graspiness towards the clients we have. But when we stop trying to be busy and focus our attention on our own self-concept and our own beliefs about ourselves, we actually create the space and expansion that creates clients and a full treatment schedule.

Our guest today is Sara Martin. After starting her business In March 2021 Sara struggled to become fully booked. Now she is booked and well on her way to meeting her monthly income goal of $8K on her way to creating 10k months doing MFR only. All of this is possible because she took some time to look at her belief in herself as a therapist, her ability to serve her clients, and the results she could provide for them. She grew her confidence and the results have been amazing.

There is a lot of valuable information being shared in the episode that you can implement to move your MFR business forward. Listen in to join the conversation.

One of the best ways to build and grow your MFR business is you MUST tell people what you do. By taking every opportunity to tell people what you do and how you can help them, you are essentially building up a pipeline for your business. After all, if no one knows what you do and how you can help them or someone they know, how can your business grow and thrive?

In this episode, my guest, Meenakshi Singh, shares with us how she started her business and brought in clients 1 month before her launch date simply by letting people she meet know what she does and how she can help them. By making this a consistent practice in her day she has consistently booked one new client every week and has earned $5,0000 in her first month of business and this is again is all before she even intended to open her practice. Tune in to learn more about how she did this.

If you are a “new” therapist or an “old” one I want to say something that might be against everything you’ve thought about talking about MFR. It isn’t hard to talk about MFR.

If you adopt this thought, you will be able to have access to the creative parts of your brain that can help you to clearly explain to and interact with people in a way that creates connection and relays the messages of how MFR can help them. In this episode, I share how to easily explain what you do.

If you need additional assistance with items like this in your business, consider joining my next group coaching program. The program starts in January 2022 and will be opening soon for registration.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, and you're just not sure what to post on Social Media, I want to reassure you that there is no real right or wrong way to develop your social media presence. The goal is to get a potential client to book an appointment with you. So the simple act of you showing up and posting something relatable, telling people that you're an MFR Therapist, how you can help them, and then making an offer to help them goes a long way to getting them from stumbling across your page, to follow you, to reading your material, to eventually booking an appointment with you. 

In this episode, I share with you how and what to post on social media so that your clients can find you, understand exactly what it is that you do and how you can help them so that they are compelled to schedule an appointment with you. Press play to learn how.

Stress is one of those things that we work with all the time, likely our patients are stressed out from their pain or their lives or both. And we're stressed out by all the things too. Our businesses, our clients, our families, our own pain, our schedules, all the things. I want to talk to you about how you experience stress, what your thoughts are about stress, and offer that it doesn't have to be the worst thing in your life.

I can’t believe that this is episode 30!  This is so fun. Thank you all for your continued support. I appreciate you listening to the podcast and taking the time to leave a comment and a review. Thank you.

I can still clearly remember my process of making the decision to start this podcast. I had so many thoughts about it but I am so grateful I decided to do this and that is what I want to talk to you about today, decision making. Decisions can be powerful, but they aren’t always easy. To some degree, almost all of us suffer from decision paralysis at some point in time. Realizing the impact that your decisions can have is often frightening but I promise you that once you realize the incredible impact that making decisions can have, you can truly begin to build the business of your dreams.

As the CEO of your MFR business decision-making is part of the package so you might as well get great at it. Listen in as I share some valuable strategies that you can use to help you feel freedom in decision-making. When you have more freedom in a decision, making it will feel better because you then understand and decide that you cannot do it wrong.

Do you buy the services that your company is selling for your own personal use? The answer should always be yes, because if you don’t believe in what you are doing then no one else will either. I mean, think about it, how can you be honest and true with your clients if you’re not buying in yourself?  When you are sold on your offer this is a perfect scenario for creating a level of excitement that others can get behind. This allows you to honestly promote what you’re selling as the best thing out there because you personally use it.

Beyond leading by example, being customer-first exposes you to the environment of customer service and quality. Allowing you to catch mistakes and provide above-and-beyond service more easily when you are participating and paying attention. Remember customers spend money with you for a reason.  Help make those reasons and those decisions easier by selling yourself on your offer first. You can do this by getting really clear on what you offer and what the results are. Listen in to learn how to start doing this today. 

This is exactly what I help my clients to accomplish. If you need guidance getting clear on where you are with selling yourself on your offer, contact me today at www.themfrcoach.com.

Have you ever had an encounter with a client that left you feeling incompetent and rethinking your entire decision to be an MFR Therapist or a business owner? This happens to all of us and our guest today Jennifer Ryalls is no different. 

Responding the wrong way can derail the client's progress and yours as well. We don't want the client giving up on the best treatment option that they have available to them and you don't want to have a mini anxiety attack each time you need to treat a client. There are ways to use uncomfortable interactions to pivot your practice for your benefit and your client. 

In today's episode, Jennifer and I will discuss her experience and how she copes with challenging clients using techniques she learned from our one-on-one private coaching sessions. You're in for a treat so press play to learn more now!  

If you are interested in experiencing the benefits of coaching that Jennifer talks about, I invite you to book a What Is Possible Call on my website, www.themfrcoach.com.  On that call, we will discuss where you are in your business, where you want to be, and how I can help you best.
