We moved to Ormond Beach, FL for a month.  We had barely settled in when Hurricane Nicole came along, now we have moved on to Cape Canaveral. We are one block from the beach and we can see the launch pad at Kennedy space center from the beach! It's very cool. Ken's daughter is coming to visit this weekend and we plan to go to the space center on Saturday.

 

This month was a month of connecting with friends and family and launching big ideas. 

 

I flew into Greensboro for a weekend to see my nephews.  In Ormand Beach, I was able to reunite with an old college roommate who lives near where we are staying. Last week I traveled to Scottsdale, AZ and spent 5 days  with my trusted business besties for some much-needed R&R.  We shared plans, strategies, and goals as we talked late into the night over prosecco and snacks. Even though we were serious about achieving our goals, there were still plenty of laughs along the way.

 

Last week I took a huge leap and re-launched my Flagship membership 'Bill like a Boss.'

I finally took the advice of others and combined my membership and my DIY Billing course into one. I just about doubled my membership in two weeks!

 

On my trip to Scottsdale, I solidified my vision for 2023.

 

🐝 The Traveling Therapist membership! Eeek! So excited about this.

🐝 Plan a Traveling Therapist live event! Viking Cruise?

🐝 Continue to grow Bill Like a Boss and help at least 1000 therapists build their insurance-based practices in 2023.

🐝 The Traveling Therapist will Sponsor Thriving Therapist Institute events and attend live to continue to Thrive in my business and network with other Thriving/traveling Therapists.

🐝 Support my fellow multi-passionate entrepreneurial friends in their businesses to help us all grow and expand beyond our wildest dreams
