    If you've followed me for a while, you'll know that I talk often about the 7 Pillars of an Ideal Practice©, that is, what it takes to build a thriving, healthy private practice …Purpose, People, Product, Process, Payment, Promotion, and Perspective.Well, today I want to talk about the one Pillar that a surprising number of you struggle with: your processes. That is: the habits, systems and boundaries that you have in place to help your business run more smoothly (and - hopefully - with a little less involvement from you!). More specifically, we're talking about the process around your client's journey.  Because guess what?  Better processes, better systems, mean better service for your clients AND less stress for you.  You may think your relationship with clients starts the moment they're ready to hire you - right?  Well, actually …. No.As it turns out, there are actually 7 stages in the life cycle of your client's journey. (So many 7's today!

    The Harder Side of Owning a Private Practice (and How to Handle It)

    In this week's episode, we'll take a look at the hard side of owning a business. As you'll hear in the passage I share from one of my favorite books, "The Soul Sourced Entrepreneur" by Christine Kane, business is hard - but not because of all the strategies you have to learn or the sales you have to make. Business is hard because of the way it forces you to grow - internally, personally, and often in ways you didn't even know you needed to grow.So let's talk about that. Give it a listen. :) ~WendySupport the Show.Wendy Pitts Reeves, LCSWHost, Ideal PracticePrivate Practice Coach and Mentorwww.WendyPittsReeves.comWendy@WendyPittsReeves.com
