How do you stand apart from other therapists?

July 7th, 2010

If you are looking to step forward and establish yourself as an expert then you are going to want to differentiate yourself from other therapists. So how are you different?

Here are some ways to help to separate yourself from other therapists and let your brilliance shine so your clients are attracted to you and your message.

1. Have an area of specialization that sets you apart from others

2. Use branding to create a unique message of what you stand for and what you do

3. Look at how you can help people beyond your office, such as offering workshops and programs to share your unique message

4. Establish your credibility in a big way by stepping forward as an expert in your niche

Are you ready to step out of your office and learn step-by-step how to establish your expertise and touch the lives of many, many, more people?

If so, then you are not going to want to miss the upcoming telesummit 101 program, where I will hand you all the tools and templates to create and event to help hundreds of potential clients, and step out from the crowd of therapists! Click here to learn more


What’s Next in Growing Your Business?

March 25th, 2010

All right, you listened to all the empowering topics last week during the telesummit, and wrote down copious notes, and thought, “yes I can do that”…then what?

Life happened, work happened, things got busy, you got distracted, and all of a sudden you get my newsletter in your inbox and your thinking, “oh yeah, I forgot- I was going to do ________(fill in blank).

Okay, your human, life happens, we get busy, overwhelmed, and one more to-do seems just overwhelming. Or maybe you really don’t know where to start, so you’ll put it off for a bit.

Or maybe you are one of the so many people who share with me that they had taken action, created a blog, or implemented SEO for your website. WHOO HOO! I celebrate your steps, even the ittty bitty ones.

For those of you who seem a bit overwhelmed, and even for those of you who took action and are now wonder what’s next. I’d thought I’d offer some support.

Here’s a way to map out your vision of your business that’s authentic and congruent with your vision and values.

and you don’t need to waste your time with excessive business plans to do this.

1. Where to you want to be in 6-months to a year? Write about it, envision it, and become crystal clear.

2. Why is this so important to you?

3. Have you made a commitment to do what ever it takes to achieve this goal? If so, what does that mean to you?

4. What’s your step-by-step plan to achieve this? This is where you get very specific about what you are doing, the time it will take, the outcomes you desire, what support you will need along the way. Most people get stuck on the “how”. They don’t know what they don’t know, so they keep doing the same thing and operating under the same beliefs and actions. This is where most people get frustrated and spend years wasting time and energy, and often where they give up.

So how can you move forward if you don’t know what steps to take?

You can’t really. However, you can learn.

So it’s time to do some research and explore programs, books, and mentors who can help you with this process.

You see, everything you do should lead you into the next step. Meaning the next step for your clients to work with you, the next step you can connect with people after meeting them, the next step you can take to educate potential clients on the benefits you offer and how they can work with you. There should always be a next step.

If you take the time and write out your response to the 4 questions above you have yourself a map of where you want to go, now it’s time to take the next step and take action.

Depending upon where you are in your practice it could mean establishing your niche (that’s the foundation if you haven’t done this yet), it could be establishing your brand so you clearly convey what you do and who you work with, it could be creating marketing systems so you know what you’re working on and when, it could be developing your ’signature system’ to help clients understand the benefits they get from working with you, it could be creating programs and packages to offer your current clients, it could be learning how to have a “connecting conversation” so you authentically enroll new clients into your practice, it could be designing your ‘profit pyramid’ whereby all of your programs and products are mapped out for the year, so you know what income you are creating and where to focus your time and energies.

Now it’s time to step forward and decide, what’s next. If you don’t know what’s next, how committed are you to learn and take action? It’s every action that you take in the right direction of your goals that will help you achieve what you desire swiftly. So out of the list of steps, decide what you’ll focus on and then take action to learn and implement it- really it’s that easy!

Celebrating a successful telesummit- what did you learn?

March 18th, 2010

Phew! What a remarkable week it has been following the Therapist Resource Telesummit. We had people all over the globe listening and writing in to share their experiences! Thank you. Here’s a well said comment from Dr. Ralph Wilson:

Laura,
Thank you from this grateful individual; I am sure that you have received many notes of thanks. The telesummit has already been worth many times more than the Platinum early signup fee that I paid.

I am now busy into implementing changes and additions to my practice because of what I heard and what I found on several websites of presenters and others that I found during this intensively creative week. The event has been catalytic.

Thanks for your dynamic presence via the Internet. This is a deeply gratifying time to be a human being, we are activating rich potentials that are being unlocked through teachings such as yours.

What’s one thing of value you are taking away from the telesummit?  I’d love to hear what you learned and are implementing in your practice!

Client Connection Tip- what’s your expertise?

March 9th, 2010

I’m going to offer you tips to build your practice leading up to the Therapist Resource Telesummit March 12-14. Here’s a tip that will help you establish yourself as the ‘go to person” when a problem arises-

Specialization-

It is necessary not only to help strengthen your clinical skills, but to help your clients recognize how you can help them. If you are a generalist, you do a disservice to those clients who are seeking someone with specialized skills.  Most therapist do not specialize because they are fearful that they will not be able to fill their practice. the truth is just the opposite!

To fill your practice it is essential to clearly and concisely state who you work with and the benefits they get from working with you. When you become a specialist you establish yourself as an expert, and your clients will seek you out and happily pay you for your expertise.


Something exciting is about to happen!

March 8th, 2010

There is this buzz going around about therapists looking to create consistent revenues and finding ways to let go of the dependency on insurance companies. I’d have to say a revolution is happening, as I read the practice building blogs out there. Therapists are getting tired of working so hard to get paid meager wages or they are fearful of leaving a secure job to create a private practice. Doubt and uncertainty have caused therapists to stay stuck; however, there is a undercurrent of change that happening and I’m thrilled to be a part of it!

If you haven’t signed up, I urge you to do so asap and join us for the complimentary Therapist Resource Telesummit March 12-14. Over three days you’ll find tips and strategies to help you shift from a dollars for hour work week, relying in insurance reimbursement or an agency to receive payment, to learning how you can create a profitable authentic practice, helping even more people (and making more money too). It will be a groundbreaking, and fun, event you are not going to want to miss. I’m looking so forward to sharing this information with you!

Client Connection Tip- to fill your practice effortlessly

March 3rd, 2010

I’m going to offer you tips to build your practice leading up to the Therapist Resource Telesummit March 12-14. Here’s a tip that will help you make instant connection and create an opening to invite others to work with you-

Speaking

Speaking is a great way for people to get to know you, even if you are an introvert. Here are a few tips to get you started:

  1. Speak to groups that your ideal clients attend. You will want to ensure that the audience you are speaking to will benefit from your message, so identify groups that attract your ideal clients.
  2. Use your signature system as your talk outline. When you create a signature system potential clients understand what you do and the benefits they will receive from working with you.
  3. Don’t worry if you are introverted, set up speaking engagements to as an opportunity to connect with your audience and understand their biggest fears, worries, and pains. You can use the speaking opportunity as a forum discussion to learn from the group and share a few insights and tips.
  4. Have a way to stay in contact with those people after they leave, beyond a brochure and business card. Because if they are not ready to work with you now, they may be ready in the future, so ensure you have a way to maintain connection.

Want support in how to connect with speaking groups,  build a signature system clients love, and  maintain connection after the speaking program? Fill My practice NOW system teaches you step-by-step how you can use speaking to authentically grow your business. To learn more click here.

Here’s a tip on how you can help many more people in the new year

December 21st, 2009
I know if you are a therapist then your goal is to help many people heal their lives and discover their potential. I also know most therapists want to help many more clients than they are currently seeing, but often just don’t know how to.
I’m happily planning for the upcoming year and realized that there is something therapists should consider to ensure the year is a successful one, something they can borrow from the business model. It wasn’t until recently that I understood the power of strategic planning, mapping out what the year would look like. My income started to dramatically change when I shifted from 1:1 hourly sessions, in which there is little control over the number of client seen, to a model that supported not only my business, but my client’s long-term growth and development!
So here’s a quick tip worth its weigh in gold. Start to map out how you can leverage your gifts as a therapist to help many more people this year. No, you cannot control the economy, and you cannot control who comes to your therapy practice, but you can control how you develop supportive streams of income, so you never encounter “dry periods” when you’re struggling to find clients. Here are some questions for you to get you thinking about how to help many more people:
  • What gifts do you have?
  • What results do you help your clients achieve?
  • List all the different ways you could offer your gifts outside of 1:1 therapy sessions, and help your clients achieve the benefits that they get from working with you!
  • Now start to fill your calender. So regardless of the number of 1:1 clients you currently have, you’ll have long-term sustainable income, and you will help many more people in the upcoming year.
This brainstorming session will help you see the possibilities of all the different ways you can leverage your gifts, and help many more people!
If you are not sure where to start join our “Fill My Practice NOW System” – 6 Week Tele-Class. In addition to the exact techniques that have worked for me, the System includes everything you need to know to prioritize what to work on first, and set up simple, solid systems to consistently draw clients to you.

I put together this tele-class series for therapists who are brilliant and gifted, but struggle in getting the clients they want.

The tele-class is an in-depth step-by-step blueprint that will help you clearly prioritize what you should do first, second, and third in your business so you are focused on helping more people (and making more money).

Here’s the scoop- you will learn:

How to get really clear on what to do (and not to do) to grow your business quickly

How to develop a signature system of your services so your clients “get” how you can help them and they’ll see positive results

How to develop marketing materials so you attract the ideal high paying clients you want

How to create systems that will keep the flow of clients coming to you. Set it up once and all you do is repeat- so simple!

I believe all therapist have a niche field that can help 1,000’s of people who are struggling in painful situations. When you say yes to creating your business, you’ll open the door to helping so many more people who are in desperate need of your support.
