People ask me all the time “What should I do now to grow my business?”
Often they say: “I heard….is a good idea. Should l do that?”
Every online business expert is selling their thing to us. (Including me!)
Our friends and colleagues tell us that what they are doing now is THE thing that works.
It’s confusing to figure out what to invest our time and money in and what to try.
What should YOU focus on next?
If you’re wondering what kind of program you should create when you move beyond private practice, keep listening. Our guest has created a totally unique program. She figured out its format by trusting herself. She had to move through the doubt and questions that so many of us deal with.

Show Notes:
I briefly mentioned some really incredible entrepreneurs in episode 164: The Best Niches Beyond Private Practice. My friend Podge listened and then said something like: Are we going to have a chance to hear more about all of these people? I want to hire ALL of them!
That is a fantastic idea. Even better, I want you to get to hear FROM a lot of these people.

I’ve craved this sabbatical for years. My sister is a public school teacher and sometimes she takes several weeks off during the summer.
I’ve always envied her weeks off. As my sister went on long road trips with her family or just slowed down at home, I’d find myself thinking…”must be nice.”
Then immediately I’d feel ashamed about my envy.

She speaks to a particular audience and has no desire to appeal to everyone. She's building her thought leadership, and she's not doing it on social media.
I want you to listen to how she does her marketing and then think about how you could borrow some of her ideas and make them your own.
Podge Thomas is a business coach and management specialist. She works with women business owners to help hire and grow strong teams in order to find financial, systemic and structural sustainability.
So why am I so sure your first step to creating a business beyond private practice is to create a pilot program?
This podcast episode answers that question.
First, here’s what I mean when I say “pilot program”:
A high quality offer delivered live (usually online) to one person or a small group of people, which may or may not be offered at a lower price than it will be in the future.

You'll also hear how she identifies her trusted collaborators, why making millions of dollars is where she's headed very quickly, and how she builds and manages her team in a truly caring way.
Are you a therapist thinking about making the switch to coaching?
Maybe you want to be known for something you care deeply about and get to help people all over the world with that thing. Switching to coaching can be part of making that possible.
How do you start?
What does that transition look and feel like?
If you make that switch, what will people think?
Don't people think coaches are flakey? Will they think that about you?

I've already talked to some of you about this episode. You've probably already seen the title. Burn your therapy license.
Let me explain. Before you decide I've taken this all WAY too far.
I'm talking about symbolically burning your therapy license. As an exercise.
It may seem extreme, but over these years of helping therapists expand beyond private practice, I've discovered that THIS is sometimes your biggest obstacle.
