Multiple Streams of Income: What does it really take?
I remember the first time I heard the word passive income. It sounded so... passive. Like something I would create that would magically continue to make money through little to no effort made by me.
However, through the last 10 years of having businesses online, it is incredibly clear to me that no income is passive. In fact, even people who seem to "stumble upon" or "hit it big" often have years of struggle behind it.
The Art of Starting Over in your Private Practice
Not everything is going to go as planned. You can follow every worksheet and training and life just won’t always conform to those efforts. Progress will be made and surprises will happen. If there was only one way of doing things, we would all be doing it. If there was a guarantee, we would all be in our private practices without fear or worry.

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.
Most Awesome Conference for Therapists
We are getting really excited. We get to share details of the 2016 Most Awesome Conference for Therapists soon!! Watch what our attendees had to say last year, and then get on the interest list to learn more this year! We are limiting the event to only 35 therapists- so we know this bad boy will sell out... possibly before we share it with our entire list.
How do you find therapist conferences?
I never knew how many therapist conferences there were until I started actively looking for them. To be honest, I had always assumed there were just a few conferences for therapists a year. I mean... we are therapists! Yes, there would always be lots of random trainings- but an entire conference?
Hundreds of Therapist Conferences
There are literally hundreds of therapist conferences every year! Conferences can be a fabulous way to get away and get some excellent training... or they can be a huge waste of time and energy. You can be stuck sitting in entry level trainings that never get to the meat. Or, like me you could watch someone cry on command as part of their sales pitch process to the attendees- ick!
When Vision and Reality Won’t Cooperate
You got into private practice with dreams of what it would mean for you personally and professionally.
Talking about your vision, gives you a road map to making decisions in your life and business. If you one day want to be in private practice solely or have a family that travels, you are going to make decisions today that will get you closer to those dreams.
In our bootcamp, we have bootcampers go through this exercise. In fact, we have a webinar on it every year. It is a powerful exercise. And every year we get asked –
What do I do if I can’t have what I want?
