“I can’t say enough about how the experience continues to support my growth not only as a business owner but as a human being” - Lisabeth (New Hampshire)
“Since joining BSB (spring 2019) I decreased my caseload to a reasonable number, got better at budgeting, gained insight into marketing (though I still struggle with this), learned to say no to folks who don’t fit my sense of the ideal client for me while offering referrals to other therapists, and though wobbly more often than not trust in my abilities and decline to give as much energy to the “imposter” syndrome inner critic. I’ve learned to stay true to what my needs are as a healer and listen to my ebb and flow of energy internally and adjust my expectations of myself accordingly without taking away from the client experience. I’ve left insurance panels and transitioned more fully into holistic mind, body, spiritual healing with a wellness and healing approach leaving behind the diagnostic disease model approach that billing insurance companies force clinicians such as myself into from my perspective. I’ve learned I can live with a small caseload and won’t go under even being the only breadwinner as I am unattached and so rely totally on me for any income.
I still go through periods where I struggle with life/work balance and when that occurs I find I go into the false belief that I’ve nothing to offer and maybe I should just walk away from my business. K&M have challenged me, supported me, and encouraged me to start at the beginning of the modules and delve into my own personality and needs in the perfect day exercise and to gain perspective of my ideal client and to do so in a systemic manner by following the modules in order, especially in the beginning years but to revisit them as needed when changes are being made to my business.
Though I had been In Private practice for many years and had a full caseload, I had no perspective of balance being a work-a-holic and heading toward a crash. Kelly and Miranda helped me gain perspective of how out of balance I was as I worked through the business analysis and learned marketing approaches. They encouraged me as I struggled to gain a reasonable caseload and the fears of financial angst that drove me to overwork and say yes to everyone.
Yes, it is a big investment but I have never regretted my decision to invest in myself by purchasing a lifetime membership in BSB. I continue to learn and grow with the materials they offer and I am amazed at their energy and enthusiasm to share their wealth of knowledge and bring in experts to help us make good business decisions. In fact, because of what I’ve gained from BSB, I took another financial plunge to join The Accountability Program where I have even more access to support and guidance from K&M. But even had I not joined TAP, The classroom in BSB with the videos and worksheets of how to grow, and create the business model I deserve is worth the investment.
Having access to K&M for two weeks twice a year and year-round access to the videos and worksheets as well as a community of healers with different ideas and resources has been life-changing for me.
And being that I am allergic to change as I’ve aged, K &M continue to find ways to pique my curiosity enough that allows me to step into experimenting with approaches to taking control of my business that I would never have imagined like helping me navigate creating my own website, a process I am currently slowly engaging in.
I can’t say enough about how the experience continues to support my growth not only as a business owner but as a human being in relationship to other human beings working to support healing throughout our planet.”
