Be flexible in your goals and set limits on how much and where you do your work. Get as many mentors as you can and expect to pay them for their time. Mentors are beneficial for business, finances, insurances, and more. Make authentic connections with the people you work with, they become like your ‘coworkers’ even if they work for a different company.

Important Points Learn who you are and when you do your best work. Schedule your day to match this. This will help you feel balanced while getting all your tasks done for the day. Reach out and lean on your community for help and encouragement. They are likely ready to back you up and support your private practice. Make sure to make time for yourself, it’s easy to get caught up in your private practice and forgetting to make time for self-care.

Important Points Try out private practice to see if you like it, if you don’t like it you can always stop. Word of mouth is still the best way to advertise your practice. You might get sucked into private work by your community because people know what you do and they desperately need you! Private work grows depending on what you put into it and what you want. You don’t have to force it to be anything huge right away and can let it grow naturally with no stress. Being independent and free are huge reasons to work for yourself.

Important Points: There is a lot of training available online to help expand your skills in marketing and business. Check out Stephanie’s blog post here for some examples. There is no rush to start your practice or that you have to continue with one plan when you discover that it doesn’t quite suit you. Online counselling is a viable private practice model that can give you a large population base and can really support individuals and communities who are under-serviced or need a different approach from traditional face to face sessions.

Important Points If you move somewhere where there are no 'jobs' for your profession, it doesn't mean you are not in high demand. Be creative with your training to fill the 'gap in service' your community has. Approach other professionals in the area to start receiving referrals. Don't be intimidated by the idea of approaching a local foundation for funding support. You don't have to charge the client directly for your services, be creative! Grow your business at your own pace, the only expectations you have to meet are your own :) Be Creative Get a hold of Vanessa: If you are interested in learning more about Vanessa's work, contact her at 306-861-9223 Subscribe to the podcast This episode has been brought to you by: Other ways to enjoy this post: Download on Google Play Download Transcript Download on ITunes
