This bootcamp was so incredibly valuable to me and my practice! I've learned so much about myself as a clinician, my relationship with money, and my niche and vision for the work I want to do for the next 40 years. I continue to use the information I learned and the abundant community & resources every day and have finally learned how to blog, ask for my fee without flinching, and network unabashedly. I'm looking forward to the next bootcamp session to see what else I can learn!
Thank you, Miranda and Kelly!

The Business School Bootcamp for Therapists was and continues to be an amazing experience. Firstly, it is not just a bootcamp about the business side of private practice. It is much more. For me it was a rich group experience where I learned and took leaps into unchartered territory, out of my comfort zone... all the while being surrounded by this wonderful group of people. Miranda and Kelly were always available to answer our questions, challenge, and support us. I surprised myself..... a 'painfully' fun relational experience! Many issues discussed were clinical issues. Marketing and networking tools that Kelly and Miranda shared were also very relational and sat well with me. I am a relational person and so are most therapists...Networking and marketing does not feel 'yucky' to me anymore but natural and fun! My perspective has changed: I simply need to make myself accessible to people, who are in need and out there already. All in all, it was an empowering experience. I see my business and my role as a therapist differently. I'm grateful for all I learned and people I have met because of my BSB experience. My practice has grown and I'm enjoying myself more than ever, doing what what I love to do.

My daughter will turn 18 months next week. Had her in 2016 during round 2 of bootcamp and only a year after I opened my private practice. I was so worried about how I would make being a mommy and having a flourishing business work! I thought I would come back from maternity leave and have zero clients and start all over again. Bootcamp helped so much with that doubt! I was able to go back to work and be full with my part-time schedule, AND I just opened a second office location that has already grown so quickly. IT IS POSSIBLE to be both a badass business woman and a badass mommy at the same time!

Mallory, LCSW
I love that as I learn and grow so does the program 💕 you guys are awesome! I tell everyone considering or already in private practice this is one of the best investments I ever made professionally and personally.

Jasmin, LMFT
“Humble brag/Props to Miranda and Kelly's bootcamp: I joined this Spring in advance of my pp opening. I have been open for 4 months. I am at 14 clients. I may take one or two more to maintain what I am looking for income-wise but I am full for my part time hours. Feeling so proud and happy. Now if only I liked doing notes more...”

How bootcamp has impacted my life: It gave me the courage to change my hours to daytime hours (which was necessary as my daughter started preschool and we wouldn’t see each other if I kept my same evening and weekend hours). I didn’t think I could have a full practice with only weekday appointments but I just started a waitlist because I am full (20 clients a week). My next step is figuring out how to take the next step. I’d like begin doing my eight week anger management group again (another income stream) but don’t know how to fit it back into my schedule and need help in figure out how to market it to get people to come during the day. I also want to begin the steps to setting things up so that I can begin hiring additional clinicians. Looking forward to bootcamp!

BSB was awesome (and overwhelming). Thanks to you and Kelly for the feedback (and tones of useful modules and tasks). I really look forward to being in a different place—a more-effective-full-caseload-great-hours kinda place with my private practice when we meet back in November.
I’m impressed with you both on so many levels, how you both work so wonderfully together, the quality of the modules, how you are so encouraging, supportive and knowledgable and experienced, the bootcamp structure including battle buddies… I’m just genuinely impressed with you both. You are both wonderful people who are having fun doing running your business and at the same time you’re providing something so beneficial to us private practitioners. As bootcamp unfolded and so many therapists found their voice, direction, sense of what really drives us as therapists. How cool (motivating, rewarding, abudant ) is that.
Thank you both so much, muchas Gracias, merci beaucoup,

I️ wanted to say a special thank you to Kelly Higdon and Miranda Palmer for changing my life and making it possible for me to support myself and my family for the first time ever!
Last year my practice was 1.5 years old and I️ had less than 10 clients per week when I️ started boot camp. I️ implemented a lot of what BSB taught me, especially the website suggestions, the social media marketing and the networking piece. I️ also found a new office space in an area that earned higher income which was less saturated by other therapists and more easily accessible from the large nearby city. It took a good 5 months to really start seeing results, but now that I’m at the one year mark of BSB I️ can say my practice is pretty full and I’m earning more than I’ve ever earned in my life without insurance panels, full fee paying clients and more coming in every week!! I️ can hardly believe it! But for me it was slow going and needed me to make some very major changes.

Doug, LMHC
Gratitude, Inspiration, Relief... These are the feelings I am experiencing as try to soak up as much good groove as I can from BSB. While I will admit that I have not made much concrete progress past the 2nd module, I have at least skimmed the materials in all 4 modules. To quell my inner overwhelm (oh, and inner perfectionist), I am trying to breath deep and take the long view on this material. Kelly and Miranda have created a syllabus for my year! Amazing! I especially appreciate the genuine way in which Bootcampers are demystifying the process, sharing struggles, offering ideas... There is a real community here that I am really really really glad to be a part of! 😍

Namarata, MFT
Kelly Higdon and Miranda Palmer as a duo and as singular coaches as well.
For one, they are incredibly seasoned and for someone like me who gets deterred by gimmicky marketing, they are gold as they have remained genuinely kind and incredibly business savvy humans in today's day and age of coach in every corner and every other coach needing to use buzzwords and colloquial language to sound real or to sell :)
I've worked with them for years and have not needed to coach shop as they have not only stayed current with every passing year, but they take time to get to know YOU and then support your business based on who u are vs throwing around latest coaches buzzwords.
I feel known and seen by them as a person and so when I get guidance in my business, they don't push things on me that they know I would either not be into (in rebellious) or I wouldn't succeed with.
They help me do things I feel fully aligned with AND helps me be lucrative and successful.
With every second therapist becoming a coach, I am extremely picky when it comes to who gets to nurture my business growth...and I fall back on the two of them every time. They are now family.
They have also created an entire curriculum for practices that are so exhaustive that even though I'm in my 5th round of doing it(you can do it as many times as it's lifetime access and is updated every year/more than that) that I haven't done it all even now.
What makes them number one for me, is for one, I am hard to sell to. I am picky, don't fall the gimmicky buzzwords ways of doing things, feel no interest in being spoken to in terms of bank accounts and am incredibly rebellious as I insist on doing things according to my values at all costs.
But, I still want to be successful.
Not many coaches can handle this...especially in the age of "if you won't agree with my style, it's abt fear or u need to shift our mindset".
Secondly, they know their stuff. They've seen things come and go and get what works. And somehow they make it all fun.No gimmicks or fad based selling.
They do none of that.
Frankly, given the quality of their product, I don't see them ever needing to :)
So, as someone who isn't the easiest or most gullible coachee.....my practice has thrived, flourished and am now set to add avenues of income only two years post-licensure as my practice is tapped out in terms of caseload.
If you're looking for someone seasoned in the business, but who also works through values and our identity to help u find your way of sustainable success, they are my pick.
As for someone I haven't worked with directly but I see in a similar vein and has played a role in my growth, Casey Truffo is who I would recommend as well.
The three don't compromise on their integrity and who they are....its what makes me trust them with the livelihood of me and my family :)

BSB has improved my quality of life in many ways. In fact, it opened me up to new possibilities in such way that even my own personal therapy took a turn for the better half way through the school. I have a new and broader vision and I am now creating multiple streams of income in complementary ways to my practice. BSB has been an eye-opener.

Lyla, LMFT
I am more aware of what I want from my practice and have started to act on that plan. I have raised my fees and I'm not afraid to ask for what I'm worth. I am planning new parenting classes and charging a profitable amount. If the classes are successful, I will make more money and work only 4 days a week vs. 5. I have booked 2 trainings at big agencies and will continue to do more training in the next year. My goal was to get help making more money and working less. I'm doing it and feel great about it! The bootcamp really helped me take a hard look at my practice and my life and what I wanted for my future.

Patty, LMFT
It's a work in progress, but definitely gave me valuable tools, information, a plan to move forward in my business. I have more confidence in initial contacts with clients, using initial consult script and have gained a few more full pay clients during that time.

Life: more time and energy to spend on doing the things I enjoy and with the people I like. Practice: still a way to go and now that I have a plan I'm OK with that. I have focus and know where I'm going. I have the tools & resources to break it down into steps and put it into practice, without feeling either overwhelmed or guilt. And this is really supportive as for the last 2 years I've been peri-menopausally sleep deprived. Which means my brain is not firing on all cylinders and things have been a little tough going. Bottom Line Finances: slowly on the up but heading in the right direction. Plus I have a financial plan for the future.

Shirani, LCSW
It was a huge reality check. I thought 15-20 clients at $110 each would cut it, but after doing the long 11 page planner, I learned, yeah, that's not gonna cut it. It was a sad day and put me in a really grumpy mood, but, it was the reality check I needed. Now I have a better idea about the fact that taking insurance is not going to be worth it, I really cannot offer sliding scale until I am more established, and the confidence that the right clients will come if I do my marketing properly.

Jolene, LCSW
For someone not yet in private practice, gaining the knowledge of how to develop a private practice business plan seems like the only smart way to do it!

Jean, LMFT
I completed Bootcamp a year ago, and in the past year, I've worked to implement many (not all) of the systems and applied much of the information to grow and maintain my practice. I opened my practice in 2013, did Bootcamp last March, and by the end of December, I had doubled my income from 2013. As the first quarter of this year comes to an end, I am on track to blow away my 2014 numbers!

Sherry, LMFT
This course is hands on and worth a ton more than you charge. There is a great deal of information and there was no way I could do it all in the time allotted and see all my clients. But that in no way discouraged me. Life is not about the race its about the process and I am working at my own speed. I can tell you I have made at least $1500 more than I would have if I did not take this course and the 8 week one. I wish I had taken this one first, prepared a bit more for some type of products then completed the 8 week course. Nevertheless this course is well worth the time and money. I would highly recommend it to other therapists.

Jennifer, LMFT
Yay!! I'm on all your suggestions! This was by far the scariest part for me...and it felt so good to face and overcome my fears with this! I couldn't have done it without your direction and support, so thank you! I'm excited to run with it from here!

Mercedes, LCSW
The bootcamp has done the one thing that I could not do myself -- give me confidence. There was a lot of material that I did not fully process. But, the way the material was presented and the way the homework got me thinking helped me realize that I have the information, knowledge, and skills to build a thriving practice. This has been the most invaluable piece from the boot camp.

Priscilla, MFT
I’m wallowing in a ton of mixed feelings. I was very on board with the modules during the first week. And then life happened that’s caused so much grief and stress. I’m the type of person that finishes things even if it kills me, so taking the approach to allow myself to say “it can wait!’ is monumental.
But I do want to say that I have gained a lot from this program! Since starting, I gained 4 new full fee clients. And surprise, surprise, that they are pretty much my ideal clients as well. It's been a very rewarding and hopeful journey.
Looking forward to poking around on the modules I missed and continuing the work!

Steven, PH.D
If you haven't been through BSB before, I think you'll quickly discover that it's well worth whatever time, money, and opportunity costs you invest in it. Suspend your habits, focus your passion, keep up with the work, and allow Kelly, Miranda, and the group process to change you. You'll be glad you did.

Comment from a new ideal client at the end of her first session: I have never felt so comfortable in therapy, ever. Thanks for helping me learn to just be me, BSB! It's transformed my feelings about myself as a therapist.

Samantha, LMFT
I am my own business, it only runs on a daily basis because I choose to get up in the morning and take ownership. I ignore others opinions about my age/experience and trust my own proven track record. I accept support from others and seek connectivity. | 2nd testimonial: I am SO excited. I have my first client scheduled for Friday morning. I took someone who required less than what I asked for, but I chalk that up to confidence building. I've decided that I will have two spots at this rate, so I at least have some income! I used the consultation script and kept my cool, I never would have been able to control my nerves before BSB!! SO thrilled!!

Sara, LMFT
I met my little caseload goal and am hoping to add more office hours! Still only part time, but hopeful. I just didn't it would happen by June. Plus, I'm eerily getting calls from people in my really specific niche.

When we spoke in May, you asked me what my realistic goals for my practice would be in July. I said 1-2 clients (since I had none at the time). I met that goal and am now up to 5 clients (averaging 1 new client a month) and looking to add a second day to my practice. There is no one thing that is working. It's been a lovely puzzle of many different pieces. Thank you for your encouragement back then.

The support group is wonderful. Many times when I have a question, I don't even need to ask it. They have already covered it. I wish it could have been longer, but in a way it feels like it is still going on! Thank you Miranda and Kelly for your light-hearted presentation of some pretty serious and life-altering material.

Karen, LMFT
I have to say that I am so glad I bought in to bootcamp. So much has already changed for me. Personally, I have found a better idea of what balance looks like. I can better identify what I want for myself and my business. I have (or the universe has) removed people and things that were blocking my forward momentum. I have financial stuff rolling out and business plan updates in the works. Opportunities are opening up for me in the type of therapy I provide and how its provided. It has been like a world wind. I am so glad we have access to everything forever. Kelly and Miranda, I am so grateful for you building this business for us to access.

Even though I am still working through the course work, what I have learned so far is helping me organize what I need to do. It is like a pathway , with things to do on the way, is marked in front of me. I have the confidence that if I follow the suggestions, I will be able to make this work. All of the tasks that I need to do, will help me become a better person and therapist.

Kelly and Miranda, you have provided an amazing wealth of resources! I greatly appreciate the partnerships you have brought to the table (Brighter Vision, Simple Practice, etc.) and have found these to be invaluable! I have been able to put these resources and tools into place to free up my time for other things. BSB is a training I highly recommend to other therapists wanting to get into private practice. The fee for your program is less than what I have spent on some trainings I have taken for certification in specific therapies.

Jennifer, LMFT
Just sharing my recent ah-ha moment: My short history as a therapist has been in working with medi-cal clients who unfortunately rarely end therapy, and working for someone who doesn't want clients to end therapy (nor do clients want to stop because insurance pays the bill). Suddenly I'm experiencing a whole new side of things - private practice cash pay. I've had 4 clients in the last 2 weeks decide their ready to terminate; I'm mind blown. I LOVE this!!!!!

Robyn, LMFT
I decided to…write a blog called how to choose a great therapist and post it to your website. This time last year I would have been so nervous to write this, I would have written, edited, had others proofread and edit, a million versions before I published…but I wrote, edited, included links, slapped on an image and published this in an hour. And I'm OK with it…I say this to inspire all you newbies - BSB changes you. This was not possible last year before I completed BSB. Get ready for the ride of a lifetime.

Rebecca, LCSW
I have to share this because I am blown away.Since I joined and have been lingering in this space, months before this round of bootcamp began I've been clarifying for myself who my ideal clients are:disconnected parent couples who desire more intimacy and fun. I've been networking and putting more content out there and I've been getting calls and offering consults that don't always translate into actual clients. This week I've booked two new full fee client couples. I had offered each consults over a month ago and they took their time...and now, booked! I'm feeling so focused and on track. yay!!!

I straight just showed Social Media who's boss! I wrote a blog, posted in hootsuite that then sent it to LI, Twitter and FB, I then Pinned it and put it on my Google Buisness page. TAKE THAT!!!

If I had known how much you give and how much I've learned and increased client number, I'd have paid more for bootcamp. I started when I had no clients but did have a part time private practice.

I'm in my sixth year of full-time private practice. 70% of my clients were insurance 1.5 years ago. Bootcamp help me flip it to 60% private pay/40% insurance. Still working on weaning myself off of insurance, but finances are so much easier now! I presented for the first time at the national conference for Internal Family Systems. Bootcamp gave me the confidence to do it!

I am so grateful that you both and the Cohort have been so amazing. I was at the point of losing my ..... when Bootcamp started. My ..... is not totally sorted out, probably never will be entirely. But my attitude to my business has not just returned to the enthusiasm and positivity with which I began, but that has multiplied many times. I have massive amounts of work to do to go through the Modules, I fell far behind, and I think I am likely to have to join in in November. But I have so much more confidence, faith and trust in myself. Despite minimal involvement day to day, I still learned so much!

Kelly and Miranda, you all out did your selves! The boot camp went above and beyond my expectations! I now have confidence in myself and have ideas that i can help nourish and grow further. Boot camp also helped me to further feel confident in my decision to be a counselor and to continue my career to retirement. Thank you!

Kelly & Miranda have given us a wealth of information on creating your ideal private practice. The materials take you step by step and each module builds on the previous one. If you do the work, you will be able to not only know what you need to make, what you need to charge, who you love to see, where to find them, and how to speak to them. It's not one size fits all, and they do a great job of designing and coaching, so you can discern what is best for you. I'm leaving bootcamp with more clarity, confidence, and focus!

Bootcamp was the most Amazing experience! Definitely worth every single penny and more, Kelly and Miranda delivered above and beyond on absolutely everything! I learned so much and am so thrilled to have access to the mounds of incredible resources in the modules and the wiki (which is an incredible idea by the way and so easy to use) Kelly and Miranda are Brilliant and I mean seriously Brilliant... it is awe inspiring to watch them take something I wrote and make it fabulous! They are funny, kind, extremely good at what they do and make everyone feel valued and understood. I was supported in every way possible (even though I am an introvert) and feel like I am now way better prepared... I still have lots to learn and continue to hone but I really feel like I can now start my practice with a firm foundation. The community support has been wonderful and it is exciting to see the Alumni interacting and sharing their experiences. I am really looking forward to seeing the headway I have made when I do bootcamp again in November! Niki Hardick

Bootcamp has provided me with the tools to actually begin the individual practice I believe, now, will lead to making my dreams a reality both in work and in my personal life. It was well worth the price. I learned 100’s of practical business tools in Bootcamp, and I do mean “100’s” literally. What I was not expecting at all was how much it has improved my clinical abilities. I could never have imagined all that I would get from Kelly’s and Miranda’s tireless work during the two weeks of Bootcamp. And, I am still reaping the rewards as I go back over the modules, which have enough material to keep me busy until the next Bootcamp and beyond. It was hard work, but, and very importantly, they made it a very fun adventure. That fun is in part attributable to the grounded, supportive and large online community they foster. If your thinking about taking the next Bootcamp, do it! Kelly and Miranda are even more joyous and enthusiastic in the actual event than they are in their promos. It was an awesome experience for me, and if one takes the time to do the work, I’m positive it will be the same for anyone.

What I loved most about bootcamp is how Miranda and Kelly provide personal feedback to everyone on any and every assignment that each participant wants feedback on. Although it is a group coaching program, the personalized attention that they provide makes it feel like individual and group coaching in one.

Bootcamp has been such a fun, eye-opening, and great learning experience for me. Even though I have just finished graduate school (MSW) and obviously not ready to start a private practice, I feel like I have gotten a head start!

Bootcamp may seem like a major investment when converted to Australian dollars. Please don't be influenced by that. The gains that Bootcamp will allow you to make will be monetary and it will definitely improve your bottom line. But what sets Bootcamp apart from other business coaching and business development is the understanding of the industry within which we work. Only people who work in our fields truly understand the unique needs of Accredited Mental Health Social Workers, Social Workers, Counsellors, MFT, LCSW, LPC, Psychologists in Private Practice. If you truly want to have a viable commercial enterprise that will bring you joy, confidence, fulfilment, faith in yourself, innovation as well as the kinds of income scales that you actually need to live a decent life, then Bootcamp is incredible. Everything improves with Bootcamp. And the support from other Bootcampers is indescribably awesome and invaluable too. I totally love Bootcamp!

Bootcamp really allowed me to shift from working in my business to working on my business. I used to tell myself that I didn't have enough training to really be a business owner, since it wasn't covered in grad school and I don't have an MBA. Now I feel like I have the tools to make my business exactly what I want it to be. I imagine the dividends will pay off for years to come!

Signing up for Bootcamp has been one of the best decisions I've made for myself as a therapist and for my business.

-When I first started in BSB I thought I would do it to help my psychological assistants market their business. My business was going relatively well. I have a part time job that provides reliable and stable income and a private practice corporation that lets me see people I love working with and help to train new therapists into being psychologists. The first thing I did through BSB was to raise my fees. The second thing was to stop working with a company that took insurance and I was getting 60% of insurance billed rates. So very low money, lots of billing hassles and poor return on investment. BSB connected me with a fabulous community that I've come to like and admire. It's not just online, it's been in person as well. My gross income increased by $40,000 last year. I'm working fewer hours but those are more productive and with clients that are a better fit. My psychological assistants are more confident and have increased marketing efforts. One has now become independently licensed. BSB is a great experience even for people that have been doing relatively well. It's well worth the investment of time, effort and energy and I strongly recommend it.

I'm saying my new fee and every time I say my new fee, I am anticipating them to say "what?" and they are like "ok."...It's ok to be good and to keep learning. I am really grateful for that because I had a real struggle with that...I like my practice.... I'm grateful for this community.

The Bootcamp is an amazing resource for therapists. Kelly and Miranda are incredibly smart and knowledgeable. Besides their vast knowledge and experience, they also bring in many guests, who are top notch specialists in their subfields (i.e. web design, blogging, fee setting, etc.). The Bootcamp is the living and breathing encyclopedia for creating therapy business. It was so eye opening to see how many resources are available to therapists. This is one of the most comprehensive sources that I’m aware of. Kelly and Miranda always add more to it and they put their all heart and soul into it.
The investment is well worth it. Besides having the access to all the materials after the Bootcamp is over, you are able to join to the next group of bootcampers to work on the materials that you haven’t been able to work through before. I also met amazing fellow bootcampers that helped me connect with some important referral sources. Kelly and Miranda create and foster positive energy that help clinicians become more confident business owners.
It’s a very intense program. If you are perfectionist, you can feel overwhelmed and scared. Just know, you will not be able to complete all the modules during the two-week process, but I recommend doing it at your own pace and not worrying about completing everything. You can always continue working on different modules that may apply to you more than others. At least you know they are there when you need to use them. The instructions are thorough, clear, and very relevant.
Starting my own business have changed me significantly. The process brings up a lot of things to the suffice while allowing you to really find yourself. The Bootcamp helped me become more confidant, have clear vision of who I want to be out in the world as a clinician, a business owner, a community supporter, etc. It provided a lot of practical learning and deep personal changes. I’m working on some amazing projects now that are not related only to 1:1 clinical work.
Once you take the Bootcamp, you become the part of the community of wonderful supportive fellow therapists who help each other with advice, networking, resources, etc. I recommend the Bootcamp to anyone who wants to create their business, feel confidant, and be a part of the community of people who want to serve others. Kelly and Miranda help you build the business that will allow you enjoy life and have free time doing hobbies, spending time with your family, going on vacations, etc. Really, being the best self is the best service to others.

I'm grateful for this community. One thing I have learned about myself this last year, I don't ever ever ever want to do anything that I don't love and it's not worth being away from what matters most, which is my family.

Sonila, Psy.D
I enrolled in Fall 2015 and was at the beginning stages of starting my own practice, 5 months after I have my own website, Google business, simple practice, business cards, marketed my services, square for payments, and just started renting an office per hour. The best part is that I began to see my first fee for service client and I never thought I would be doing it so soon.

Zoey, LMFT
Since Fall 2015 I’ve managed to keep a full caseload through the holidays, and had 2 different articles published in a magazine and psych central. The traffic has significantly increased to my website as a result, more calls the past couple of weeks! Thanks Kelly and Miranda!! And also the positive vibes I get from everyone on here! I’m looking forward to another round.

Nancy, LMFT
I saw my energy level going from hopeless to feeling more empowered... I am reclaiming my years of business experience that for, some reason, stopped to a certain extent when I moved into the field of private practice, psychotherapy. Feeling more empowered.

Jean, LMFT
I completed Bootcamp a year ago, and in the past year, I've worked to implement many (not all) of the systems and applied much of the information to grow and maintain my practice. I opened my practice in 2013, did Bootcamp last March, and by the end of December, I had doubled my income from 2013. As the first quarter of this year comes to an end, I am on track to blow away my 2014 numbers!

Jodie, Psy.D
I finally niched and it is working! I finally took the time to “niche” and my new website went live 4-days-ago. So far I’ve had 2 calls and one will be paying my full rate! The other is interested in a group I am starting. I’ve been implementing the SEO and social media strategies and am excited to keep learning and doing more!

Alicia, LMFT
Since bootcamp I have more clarity and I’ve identified my ideal client. I have a regular monthly spot on a local radio station. I’ve been blogging regularly, and I have my first paid speaking gig tomorrow. I’m not afraid to reach out to others in the community and get my name out there. I left my full time job in August and dug into bootcamp and I’m on fire for the new year and ready to fill my practice!

Jared, Ph.D
I changed my client focus, was interviewed for Selling the Couch, got my first therapist branding/business consulting client, was quoted in Men’s health print magazine, met a major yearly revenue milestone, had my most profitable month ever, celebrated an awesome year, and am launching my very own podcast with 2 amazing episodes locked and loaded and a third interview scheduled for the week!

Mahsa, MS. MFT
I’ve learned how to run a business! I originally did bootcamp in March 2015 and my practice boomed afterwards. I’ve learned so many things about running a business (had no clue before) that I have been able to actually do what I love successfully. When I started bootcamp I had ONE client and was full of doubts if I could actually do this. Afterwards, I filled up all my time slots available, added another day and am now looking for a full time office space because the demand is so high! I wouldn’t have believed it if somehow told me this would happen. I can’t say enough good things about bootcamp.

My confidence is much higher. I feel more comfortable stating my fee. I know that I don't have to have all sliding scale clients. I feel more confident and valuable. I still have to implement much of what was covered in the boot camp, but I have worked on my social media presence, am updating my website, changing my image. I am using Simple Practice which helps me to feel much less overwhelmed by all of that paper. Knowing what to do and how to do it is transformational. As I continue implementing, I expect my confidence wil continue to grow, as well as my time management, and a more professional image in social media and with potential clients. The support group is wonderful. Many times when I have a question, I don't even need to ask it. They have already covered it. I wish it could have been longer, but in a way it feels like it is still going on! Thank you Miranda and Kelly for your light hearted presentation of some pretty serious and life altering material.

Miranda, I met you when you were training a group of therapists. You were describing these sad therapists and these sad stories. I was so filled with shame because you were describing ME. I knew I wasn't doing great, but I couldn't let myself examine the problems without a way to find a solution. But, I now have answers and resources and support. Now, I am a logical business owner. The way I was doing things just wasn't adding up, and didn't make sense financially. I am done with sliding scale for the most part, because as odd as it sounds, you both gave me permission to be done. I am worthy of making more money, and you helped me see that. I can have a successful business AND be a kind, supportive therapist. I can do this. I believe that me finding out about BSB at this time in my life was NO ACCIDENT. This was divine intervention, and I will be forever grateful to this process and to the both of you for what you have given me.

Laura, LCSW
One of the unexpected things I love about BSB is the opportunity it presents to be inspired and learned from one another. The #KAT superstars in this group are doing amazing things. I admit, I was playing small when I joined BSB, thinking I was dreaming big with the idea of supporting myself with my practice- imagine earning the same as my husband! Now I’m envisioning a podcast, webinars, adding associates, teaching, maybe writing a book at some point! Blogging regularly and becoming more and more excited by the things that my colleagues are doing, which inspires my creativity and makes me think there’s no limit to what I can do! Last thing- the ability to develop relationships with the superstars here is something that’s mutually beneficial in ways that are hard to quantify. So thank you all! this was one of the smartest investments I could have made.

I had my perfect day yesterday. I got up at 4 am, did all my computer work, filing, emails, and saw a single client at full fee paid by retainer for four hours. Got home by 6 and got to have dinner with my husband. Beats working a 12 hour day seeing 11 people and getting the same amount of money with a 4 hour commute.

BSB has improved my quality of life in many ways. In fact, it opened me up to new possibilities in such way that even my own personal therapy took a turn for the better half way through the school. I have a new and broader vision and I am now creating multiple streams of income in complementary ways to my practice. BSB has been an eye-opener.

Helen, Ph.D
Taught me to slow down and focus on the main areas I need to work on rather than getting caught up in shiny object syndrome and fear of missing out and to stop comparing myself to others and honor my unique offering as a therapist.
Gave me tools to build a solid foundation to my private practice and confirm that I provide a service to my clients based on choice, authenticity and integrity.
Gave me a balanced outlook: Taught me how to listen to my inner voice and gave me self confidence in my ability, while acknowledging that setting up a PP isn't going to happen overnight and takes work and consistency. I accept that even though it isn't easy it doesn't mean I can't do it.

Jayashree, LMFT
This round 1 of BSB is only a starting point. I wish I had come to it sooner. I am still in the process of shedding insurance. So much of bootcamp wisdom needs to percolate, stew and unfold as I made small and sure steps towards changing course. I have been able to shed fear which has been huge. I don't know what the future holds, but I am back to painting with joy and am looking forward to fewer clients who will pay my full fee because I am worth it.

Sandy, LCSWR
This was a giant investment for me, of time and money. I really didn't know if it was worth it. I learned all kinds of new resources on the internet, connected with cool therapists who are mostly, however on the left coast ;) and became willing to spend money to earn money.

Erin, Psy.D
I'm well on my way to covering the cost of the boot camp with the new clients I've begun working with as a result of implementing new strategies from the boot camp. I also feel confident that I will be able to develop the private practice and career that I want rather than being stuck doing it someone else's way.

Jessica, MMFT
It helps develop my own sense of worth, which was demolished during my time in agency. It has stretched me with writing a blog, which is an exercise in vulnerability. Finances... I am quitting my agency job, which is due to BSB and the nuts and bolts exercise. I sat with my husband and went through the exercise to make sure we can afford me to quit my job.

Katherine, LMFT
Bootcamp helped walk me through the pieces that I didn't have with online marketing and other marketing, but it also helped me to realize how much I did actually know and how much perfection had kept me frozen.

Shelley, LMFT
It is an incredible experience to be clear and focused about the work I do, to be able to succinctly, confidently, and clearly articulate this, to light up when I talk about it and to see that this light shines on others and is inspirational as well.

Julie, LCSW
I think this bootcamp is great and has a lot of good information. I still am overwhelmed by the information and not sure of the investment yet since I have seen no return on investment. I think I will in the future or at least I hope to but currently it is hard for me to see.

Stephanie
Bootcamp has taught me so much about the business end of private practice but that is not all. I have relearned to respect my profession and myself. I have worked hard to get where I am at and I deserve to continue to grow. I have the ability to help many people and with renew confidence I am stretching myself in all different area and that has enhanced my life and my practice.

Jaime, LCSW
Any challenge presents the opportunity to learn. The skills acquired in the process can provide the impetus to take risks, and not be afraid of failing or asking for help. Those are invaluable life skills.

I am still slowly working through the modules, but the Bootcamp has give me a LOT of hope.

Dr. Gary, LMFT
I think that I've already stated that in previous answers. Bootcamp was simply an incredible experience: full of many surprises and new ideas that I had never considered. I didn't go in with much in the way of expectations - to use a well known phrase: I didn't know what I didn't know.

I am going to be able to open my doors (post-licensure) with a plan and confidence. I also met a friend/colleague in my area through the camp- a fellow therapist.

Oh gosh I feel so much less shy meeting people! I have confidence that I matter, I fit in, I'm smart. I decided to let go of the safe side of the river - quit my agency job effective the end of the month. I stopped buying material things to make me feel good. I am networking! Without throwing up first! I matter to me and to the world. Each of these is a new revelation to me. I matter.

I feel so much more confident about how to run a practice. While I haven't seen an impact on my finances yet since I haven't gathered new clients at this point I feel a confidence that they will come!
I also gained so much just from witnessing other people work through bootcamp. I'm focusing now on where I am and my stage in my process but I think it is so valuable to see people who are at different points in the process. I know I will look back on facebook posts and reconnect with people at various stages.
I also just feel calmer and more confident about private practice. I feel like a business owner which I am super proud and grateful to say!

I feel a transformation coming. Even if I don't make it as a therapist, I feel clear about deserving and attaining a career which supports me and my family financially.

The bootcamp reminded me that this is a business and I am worth the fee, but also that I need to live a life I want to live, (family, vacations, etc.)

The value of the Bootcamp has been that I've become more aware of my value- both in my life as well as both my practice and my bottom line finances. I'm beginning to work to live vs live to work- which was my previous perspective. I've recognized that I can set a limit on the number of clients I can comfortably see, and set a value for my services that allow me to generate the income I desire. I've gained awareness of what I need to have a Successful business- Mentally, Physically and Spiritually.

Well, now I feel like I can actually create and run a practice. Before, I felt like I was just dabbling in a hobby, not a business. I couldn't see the carrot with the whole business creation, and I'm used to working for a carrot (i.e. diploma, license, etc). Also, learning is a core strength of mine, and I'm goal-oriented. BSB, like any good course, gave me the structure I like and need as an academic and helped my identify my carrot to chase, post-school & post-licensure because incredibly enough, I'd never thought about that before.

My even enrolling in the BootCamp was a very empowering "yes!" response to my world. I don't have any credit lines, I have to count on making that money as I go. I had been experiencing a sense of change coming through and BootCamp very much felt like embracing that change. I really planned, at a minimum, to use BootCamp to help me prioritize my practice building and business promotion, despite the many demands of my life. Having my my busiest month in nine years of private practice (24 client hours one week) overlay the very busy nature of BootCamp was eye opening. It may take getting up and out of the house between 5-6 a.m. to cover all of that, but it CAN be done and I can do it. People didn't starve to death or fall off the earth in my absence (even though the first Monday of camp the fridge was left ajar by one of my kids and all the prepared ahead food spoiled. Really!?). I know some people felt overwhelmed by the financial components and I get that, but it's not the response I had. It felt very containing for me. I had gone into my credit union to inquire about setting up a new IRA and they sent me home to build six months of savings first. Here's the thing--that doesn't seem possible. While I was doing the worksheets, though, it was all so matter of fact. And not so black and white. I can start savings accounts for sick leave, vacation pay, new computers, and six months of cushion, and fund them all a little. It's still happening. It just doesn't happen overnight. I also discovered I could add a second office, even in a high rent area without a huge impact on the bottom line, because the bottom line is the same, no matter what. I'm covering all those expenses already. Maybe because my big month, which seemed to come out of nowhere, but I think was a result of a lot of blogging I had done last summer and a strong energetic impulse to pay my taxes for 2014, overlay BootCamp, I had the direct experience that big and great things can happen, can happen suddenly, and it made future planning seem less like fantasy. I also had made a pledge to show up in the BootCamp environment. Not just participate in the shadows. Not easy for me. Still kind of uncomfortable as I look back. At the same time, as a result, I find I am showing up more in life. Putting make up on again, taking more time with being self-expressive in my dress, feeling more confidant about my practice and my work. Even when some things have been disappointing, the impact seems minimal. I also have had BootCampers reach out and offer to give me training materials for a training I was looking at, saving a bit as I go into that training. Another lovely lady has contacted me about subletting in my Santa Ana office. That feels great and another nudge forward for looking for some days in Newport. I have a community of positive minded folks to draw on and the opportunity to create a new referral base, as the Recession decimated my go to people. They're gone. I have a lot more permission within myself to focus on creating what I want in life across the board. It's part of a continuation of an experience I was having, and more defined at the same. time.

This bootcamp gave me a place to start. The value to my life is that it will help me create a life that is more aligned with my values. For my practice, it gives me a set of actions to take that I believe will help me grow my practice, and align it better with where my energy is, so it feeds my psychological and emotional needs (as well as literally feeding my family). For my finances, believe it will get me to full time more quickly, and get me off on the right foot to eventually meet my financial needs through my practice.

While I still do not feel 100% confident in my abilities to make my private practice a success, I feel more at ease knowing I have completed some of the basic steps towards creating a private practice I can be proud of and is abiding by legal and ethical standards.

Rickie, LPCC
Wow. So much information and it changed my life. Have you seen the Wizard of Oz (original) when Glinda glides in on a bubble there is a sense that everything is for a reason and everything will be ok. Well boot camp is about being both Dorothy and listening to Glinda. You may not want to build a business plan but you should if you want to have a brain and you'll need networking if you want to have courage, and you'll need support for a heart.

Dorothy, LPCMH
Wow!!! I don't know where to begin. I can say that going through this bootcamp has put me ahead of the race. I am in a position to make less mistakes and I don't have to try and figure it all out on my own. In my 1st networking meeting with another clinician, I shared about the bootcamp and she was amazed, stating she wished she had known about this before she went out on her own. She shared some of her mistakes and having to stop and regroup and that made me feel even more confident about the bootcamp. I have learned so much from the business perspective but the facilitators also did a great job of reminding us of the importance of self-care and priorities. Such an awesome experience.

Cerina, LPCC
I need this, and I will continue to need this. I needed a set amount of time to put a burst of energy into my business. I'm excited that there's still so much content to uncover. I've already put the leftovers into my Google calendar so I can stay committed to a few modules a week.

Brianna, LPC
It has been very encouraging, empowering, and equipping. I feel much more confident and empowered to take control of my business and that I also have actual skills to manage the business side of practice successfully.

I re-wrote my website home page to speak to ideal clients and quickly got a new client call me because 'I read your web page and it made me cry'.

I have a lot more confidence that I can be successful as a business and not only as a clinician. Which makes me more confident as a clinician, in part because I know who I want to take on as clients (and not). I have a prioritized list of marketing things I want to do, and some realistic short and long-term goals for creating resources for clients that also help my marketing. I've been much more effective at networking in my community, while being myself. I have a personal budget, and a goal for my savings before I start ramping up my practice more. I have a goal for the number of clients I need before I quit my job. I feel like I've taken my castle in the air and figured out how to build a foundation under it.

The impact of BSB on my life, business and clients is unknown to me currently. But I know the seeds have been sown. I believe they are "golden seeds" that will take me to the land of giants, where I will be able to share the gifts that God has given me of hope, life and peace.

More confident not only as a business owner, but also as a clinician. One result has been in the number of new clients I have had this year, increasing from 39 total in 2014 to 80 in the first 9-1/2 months of 2015! Looking at raising the fee again as well as tweaking the marketing for an area of specialization.

There are too many values to list!
I think the biggest value to my clients is that I am more confident in the therapy I provide, which results in me bringing up outcomes more frequently, helping them with "take aways" for each session, clarifying their goals to make sure they are getting what they need, and me being the best possible therapist to them. By only taking clients that are my ideal fit (no longer taking everyone who calls), I am energized and engaged and passionate in each and every session. I love how I feel before, during and after each session now (compared to when I did agency work). I believe my clients are getting solid value and getting me at my best. I appreciated how every step of the way we were encouraged to provide the absolute best quality work to our clients, never to half-ass it to make a buck.

Be courageous in marketing oneself and dealing with the private practice as a business. I'm currently have a difficult time with my web designer -- he has missed deadlines three times and this has resulted in a delay of my site going up, among other things. In writing this survey, I am reminded that this is a business venture and the "soft, counselor" approach just won't get the work done.

Increased confidence. I know what I need to do. I can be honest with myself -so I don't need to make excuses that cause timidity and procrastination. Actually I have still procrastinated - but I now take responsibility for what I have & haven't done. I no longer conclude that its my personality etc that's stopping my ability to be a business woman as well as a therapist. More confidence, less cobwebs, more decisive. I stand taller now. I am more likely to think I don't have to put up with this sh--. Clients respond to my confidence in my own competence which helps with their sense of safety & ability to consider my suggestions etc. (And do -right from the first phone call). And I can be more compassionate with clients who also procrastinate from a lack of skills, knowledge or belief and resort to defenses.

Bootcamp was the most Amazing experience! Definitely worth every single penny and more, Kelly and Miranda delivered above and beyond on absolutely everything! I learned so much and am so thrilled to have access to the mounds of incredible resources in the modules and the wiki (which is an incredible idea by the way and so easy to use) Kelly and Miranda are Brilliant and I mean seriously Brilliant... it is awe inspiring to watch them take something I wrote and make it fabulous! They are funny, kind, extremely good at what they do and make everyone feel valued and understood. I was supported in every way possible (even though I am an introvert) and feel like I am now way better prepared... I still have lots to learn and continue to hone but I really feel like I can now start my practice with a firm foundation. The community support has been wonderful and it is exciting to see the Alumni interacting and sharing their experiences. I am really looking forward to seeing the headway I have made when I do bootcamp again in November!

Bootcamp has been such a fun, eye-opening, and great learning experience for me. Even though I have just finished graduate school (MSW) and obviously not ready to start a private practice, I feel like I have gotten a head start!

Kelly & Miranda have given us a wealth of information on creating your ideal private practice. The materials take you step by step and each module builds on the previous one. If you do the work, you will be able to not only know what you need to make, what you need to charge, who you love to see, where to find them, and how to speak to them. It's not one size fits all, and they do a great job of designing and coaching, so you can discern what is best for you. I'm leaving bootcamp with more clarity, confidence, and focus!

Bootcamp has provided me with the tools to actually begin the individual practice I believe, now, will lead to making my dreams a reality both in work and in my personal life. It was well worth the price. I learned 100’s of practical business tools in Bootcamp, and I do mean “100’s” literally. What I was not expecting at all was how much it has improved my clinical abilities. I could never have imagined all that I would get from Kelly’s and Miranda’s tireless work during the two weeks of Bootcamp. And, I am still reaping the rewards as I go back over the modules, which have enough material to keep me busy until the next Bootcamp and beyond. It was hard work, but, and very importantly, they made it a very fun adventure. That fun is in part attributable to the grounded, supportive and large online community they foster. If your thinking about taking the next Bootcamp, do it! Kelly and Miranda are even more joyous and enthusiastic in the actual event than they are in their promos. It was an awesome experience for me, and if one takes the time to do the work, I’m positive it will be the same for anyone.

Bootcamp may seem like a major investment when converted to Australian dollars. Please don't be influenced by that. The gains that Bootcamp will allow you to make will be monetary and it will definitely improve your bottom line. But what sets Bootcamp apart from other business coaching and business development is the understanding of the industry within which we work. Only people who work in our fields truly understand the unique needs of Accredited Mental Health Social Workers, Social Workers, Counsellors, MFT, LCSW, LPC, Psychologists in Private Practice. If you truly want to have a viable commercial enterprise that will bring you joy, confidence, fulfillment, faith in yourself, innovation as well as the kinds of income scales that you actually need to live a decent life, then Bootcamp is incredible. Everything improves with Bootcamp. And the support from other Bootcampers is indescribably awesome and invaluable too. I totally love Bootcamp!

Bootcamp really allowed me to shift from working in my business to working on my business. I used to tell myself that I didn't have enough training to really be a business owner, since it wasn't covered in grad school and I don't have an MBA. Now I feel like I have the tools to make my business exactly what I want it to be. I imagine the dividends will pay off for years to come!

I greatly appreciate the partnerships you have brought to the table (Brighter Vision, Simple Practice, etc.) and have found these to be invaluable! I have been able to put these resources and tools into place to free up my time for other things. BSB is a training I highly recommend to other therapists wanting to get into private practice. The fee for your program is less than what I have spent on some trainings I have taken for certification in specific therapies.

It is highly valuable and informative. And has given me hope that I could actually have something to offer people, have a private practice and be financially stable.

Bootcamp has given me the gift of permission and structure around both the personal and practical sides of my private practice. It addresses the emotional challenges of this business, while also instilling faith and a guidebook on how to develop and scale a successful practice. Both of those are equally important, and have served me strongly in my bootcamp journey. I continue to re-visit the modules constantly and this ongoing resource is invaluable to me!

As a newly licensed clinician just starting private practice, I view Bootcamp as a great investment that is helping me build a solid foundation from the start. I love that I can return to the group and materials whenever I want support, need additional help, or am ready to grow my business!

The BSB experience covers everything that we are not taught in school about running a therapy business practice. The modules are very thorough and divided into in a logical manner that is easy to follow. The lifetime membership allows you to go through each module as many times as needed. Kelly and Miranda's energy and enthusiasm are contagious. This is the best investment I have made in my business.

I just wanted to say that I ran into both you and Kelly at the evolution of psychotherapy conference last December and at the time I was struggling in private practice and now I am happy to say that I am thriving thank you so much!

I’ve never wanted to cuss for joy so much as I do watching the training video on the Business Planning Excel Spreadsheet! Holy Shj*$, this is freaking amazing!! Can’t wait to use it! I never used the previous version because I would get confused and overwhelmed. I’ve also not done some other aspects of keeping track of my numbers because I had to take the time to figure out a system for keeping track then try to integrate them all. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for putting this all in one amazing place! How the heck can I be getting so excited about a business planning excel spreadsheet….so weird! But seriously Kelly & Miranda (and whomever you worked with to develop this amazing tool), Thank you!

Just had to share my gratitude for bootcamp and this community! Last round of bootcamp in the spring I took my first steps of creating a website and started hunting for an office space to sublet part time. This round of bootcamp, I am now working part time for an agency, sublet an office one day a week, and am just now starting to have my phone ring for my part time private practice. I booked 3 ideal clients this week, and all of the sudden things are happening! I am hearing clients tell me they felt like I was talking directly to them on my website, just like Kelly Higdon and Miranda Palmer said!! Haha like it’s magic!! What a wild and fun ride! I haven’t been able to be involved in bootcamp this round, but will definitely be digging in over the next few months in lots of area. So thankful for Bootcamp to walk me through this process and giving me the courage to launch!

I am literally on a business retreat right now, scheduled due to bootcamp, trying to get myself sorted out--thanks to her & all I've learned in bootcamp! My income has increased by about 35% since I enrolled last spring.
