The Fabulous Free App for Therapists in Private Practice

Some of you were around back in 2015 when Kelly and I developed an app. We thought about it for a long time, but we just weren’t sure if it was the right time. Custom apps can start at $5,000 and go all the way up to $30,000 or more! Finally, we decided to take the leap and found a developer that would help us with this.

What is an app?

App simply stands for the term application. Each app is a piece of software that can be downloaded to your smart phone to be used for a specific purpose. For example, if you are looking for events in your area, there's an app for that. If you want to make hotel reservations, there is an app for that. The options are quite endless.

App Reviews: Solo Business Owners and Entrepreneurs

When the job market is not so great, many people turn to self-employment. There is a good news and bad news in being self-employed. First- the good news: Being your own boss puts the reward of your hard work directly to you! And, despite the economic downturn- many business owners are finding they are having record growth. In fact, female small business owners are doing quite well right now!

The bad news: If you are in business for yourself it is all on you. Yep, I said it... there is a LOT on your shoulders! However, there are some wonderful apps out there that can turn that little smart phone in your pocket into a helper, or even a receptionist! Here are some fun apps that you may want to check out for your business!

Where Good Ideas Happen

Wonderful, lazy Sunday listening to National Public Radio (NPR) and was surprised to hear a fantastic TedTalk that I had heard before and how inspired I was this beautiful afternoon. I have so many ideas swirling around, but the long and the short of it is- we are made to live and think in community.
