Episode Details

This episode reviews themes covered in the Practice of Therapy from 2021. A few topics have come up from the last fifty episodes or so. I dive into those subjects, including community, preparing for a worst-case scenario, updating your private practice, diversifying income, and using mindfulness in your business. Tune in as I talk about some of my favorite episodes from these topics and the most significant lessons learned from my guests this year.

During Covid, many of us had to think about preparing for the worst-case scenario. Most likely, you, your family members, or your clients have come into contact with Covid. So, many private practice owners started to think about what would happen to their practice if something happened to them. That's why I spoke with Judd Carlton; he is a financial advisor serving families, individuals, and businesses in Morristown, NJ, and beyond. We talked about why the sooner you start planning for retirement, the better off you're going to be in the long run. Even if it's just a tiny bit that you save towards your retirement, it's going to make a big difference!

One way to update and refresh your private practice is through your private practice website. My good friend and website guru Daniel Fava helped with my private practice website. He is from Private Practice Elevation, and I am so grateful for all of his assistance! This year we chatted all about the website redesign project that I have started, and we walked through the nuts and bolts of what needs to get done to take your private practice website to the next level.

One of the things about being in practice, particularly if you're a solo practitioner, is that you can quickly reach a glass ceiling with your practice. You can expand your practice and create more income by starting a group practice. If you want to learn more about starting a group practice, then you need to check out this webinar: Solo to Group Practice: Adding More Therapists to Grow Your Time & Income. This is a pre-recorded webinar with selected automated times. Please choose a time/date in the calendar above that works in your schedule for the one-hour-long presentation.

Another way you can increase your private practice income is through a side hustle. You can create a course or develop new products for other therapists or your clients. I did an episode with Chris Swenson about Self-Publishing For Therapists, Coaches, and Consultants. Chris dives deep into the self-publishing process, including the importance of an outline, an editor, and how to navigate imposter syndrome.
