Let Success Surround You

Jim Rohn is a motivational speaker known for his talks on the law of average where he speaks about how we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. This also applies to our work and owning a business. Think about it for a moment.

Who are your five people?

Do they encourage you? Challenge you? Make you stronger? Make you more vulnerable? Open you up to possibilities?

I don't believe that building a business happens alone. It takes a village quite literally. Many people have supported us on our journey, and while I want to introduce you to some of them first, here are some things to think of when building your tribe.

Starting a Counseling Practice - A Beginner's Guide

"Give me anything you can to help me start my private practice."

Every week we receive emails from therapists asking about how to get started in their practices. There is great value in getting information from someone who has been there and done that. Yet, we all have our own unique journey. What works for one person, may not work for another. This is why we created a 10 part series that was featured on Pro Psych Central. It is a great compliment to our free trainings and most articles come with a free download to help you integrate what is taught.
