EP 21: Life Changing Productivity (Solo)
22:51
In today's episode, I sit down and talk about the productivity hack that will literally change your life and business.
 
There is one common denominator I've learned from the high-level, multi-7-figure female therapists I've interviewed on this show and no one is talking about it. But now, you have the details.
 
I discuss:
  • Identifying what is holding you back from moving the needle forward in your business.
  • Why productivity for female entrepreneurs needs to be addressed differently than our male counterparts.
  • How I want you to look at your time and energy starting this week.
 
This Summer Intensive is for rookie practices to the group practice owner managing a team of 30 and every private practice owner in between.
 
It addresses time and energy management, and no matter where you are on your practice-building journey, if you don't nail this you won't grow in the way you were meant to. See you inside!

Ep 5 I Forgot to Run Payroll and Other Mistakes
20:22
I forgot to run payroll, I created and tried to run a workshop that no one signed up for and other mistakes and 'failures' I've made in business. We often only see the highlights reels of people's business and it's important we normalize everything else that goes on behind the scenes. I hope this helps you to feel less shame around a recent failure or mistake, because they are necessary to grow. You will learn
  • How to build resilency around making mistakes as an entrepreneur.
  • The importance of not allowing hypothetical mistakes or failures stop you from trying.
  • And creating a good mindset that allows for mistakes and failures in your practice.

And it makes us very anxious. We really like the black and white. But in entrepreneurship, that's not going to fly. It's just not going to work like that.’’
