“Oh my gosh, I’m a business owner.” That was the realization that hit Nicol when we first met. She had an idea that she was ready to take into the world, and it was anything but what she saw her peers doing.

As an expert witness, Nicol has built a practice providing her services in the court room, consulting therapists on how to be prepared for court, and she runs a non-profit Kid’s Court. And yes, she did all three when she started Bootcamp, against our advisement (Ha! We love to laugh about that part). But she had to try things herself, and she figured out how to make it work for her. She is real, honest, and down to earth about what it takes — and it isn’t perfect, but it’s necessary.

In this interview, you will learn:

  • How to see failure in your business

  • What to do with Shiny Object Syndrome (SOS)

  • The importance of creating your own model

  • How to make any training you invest in your own

What is your expertise that you bring to your practice? Let us help you create a model that works for you and your life. Click here to check out our Business School Bootcamp.

I have successfully built a cash pay psychotherapy practice from scratch on a shoestring budget. I have also failed a licensed exam by 1 point (only to have the licensing board send me a later months later saying I passed), started an online study group to ease my own isolation and have now reached thousands of therapists across the country, helped other therapists market their psychotherapy practices, and helped awesome business owners move from close to closing their doors, to being profitable in less than 6 weeks. I've failed at launching online programs. I've had wild success at launching online programs. I've made mistakes in private practice I've taught others how to avoid my mistakes. You can do this. You were called to this work. Now- go do it! Find some help or inspiration as you need it- but do the work!
