Many therapists in private practice feel overwhelmed by all the marketing options available today. Between managing a full caseload, trying to keep up with social media trends, and maintaining a personal life, blogging often ends up at the bottom of the priority list—or gets abandoned altogether. And with the rise of video, reels, and short-form content, it's easy to wonder: Is blogging even still worth it? In this episode of the Private Practice Elevation Podcast, host Daniel Fava sets the record straight. He dives into the current state of blogging in 2025 and why, despite the ever-evolving digital landscape, blogging remains one of the most effective and underutilized marketing tools for private practice owners. Daniel explores how blogging supports your long-term marketing strategy by improving SEO, keeping your website active and visible in Google, and helping potential clients connect with your voice and expertise. He breaks it down in simple, therapist-friendly terms, making it clear how blogging actually works to drive traffic and build trust over time. Listeners will also learn practical ways to overcome common blogging roadblocks—like lack of time, perfectionism, and not knowing what to write about. Whether you're new to blogging or you've let it fall by the wayside, this episode will give you the motivation and tools to use blogging more effectively—and without the overwhelm. What You'll Learn: Why blogging is still one of the best ways to build trust with potential clients How blogging improves your website's SEO by keeping it fresh and keyword-rich The importance of internal linking for both user experience and search rankings Tips for coming up with blog post ideas and staying consistent How blogging fits into a long-term content strategy that drives sustainable growth Key Takeaways: Blogging isn't dead—it's still highly relevant and effective when done intentionally Fresh, consistent content signals to Google that your website is active and useful AI tools like ChatGPT can help generate ideas and outlines to save you time Internal linking from blog posts boosts both navigation and SEO performance Your blog can help potential clients build a connection with you before they reach out Links mentioned in this episode: 163.

In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, Steve Riley explores time management and focus strategies with Shawn McNalis, an Atticus Practice Advisor and trainer with over 30 years of experience. Together, they uncover the most common time traps that prevent attorneys from reaching their full potential. They also share proven strategies for defending strategic time blocks and establishing boundaries that support professional growth. Shawn brings her wealth of knowledge from coaching thousands of lawyers and co-authoring pivotal books on time management and performance. Steve and Shawn delve into the “time starvation trap”—a common pitfall where attorneys confuse busyness with true productivity. Through the lens of The Habit Shift workshop, they reveal how ineffective time habits often go unnoticed until they become overwhelming. They share the story of Jordan, a family law attorney who used time management tools to reclaim her schedule. By protecting strategic time blocks and focusing on high-value work, Jordan boosted client development and significantly reduced stress. In another example, solo practitioner Taylor learned to combat overwork by delegating tasks, avoiding overcommitment, and conducting focused time audits. These changes gave her the bandwidth to think strategically and grow her firm. Shawn also discusses how the relentless pace of law school often carries into professional life, encouraging constant hustle over smart planning. Steve and Shawn lay out a practical roadmap for setting boundaries that promote both success and sanity. They highlight the value of time audits, client selection, and protecting strategic time like your business depends on it. Because it does! Whether you're a new attorney or a seasoned professional, this episode offers actionable strategies to improve your focus, reclaim your time, and transform both your practice and your life. In this episode, you will hear: Introduction to time management and focus strategies for attorneys, emphasizing productivity and overcoming time traps Insights from The Habit Shift workshop, focused on performance improvement through strategic time blocking and boundary-setting The “time starvation trap” and how time audits help prioritize high-value tasks, illustrated by Jordan's story Tips for managing competing priorities, including a segment on Alex, a team leader using a 90-day focus tool to align with firm partners Addressing the law firm culture of overwork, with practical guidance on task delegation and selective client intake Encouragement to intentionally design the practice and life you want through boundaries and high-impact habits Actionable advice to build self-awareness and put consistent effort into earning both success and personal fulfillment Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Welcome to episode #981 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Donald Miller is one of the most influential voices in modern marketing - a bestselling author, business strategist, and the creative force behind StoryBrand (a framework that has reshaped how leaders and organizations communicate). In our conversation, Donald breaks down the timeless power of story and why clarity - not cleverness - is the most underrated competitive advantage in business today. His new book, Building a StoryBrand 2.0 - Clarify Your Message So Customers Will Listen, expands on his original seven-part storytelling framework with sharper tools and practical applications for the modern marketer. Donald is also the author of several bestselling books, including the spiritual memoir Blue Like Jazz, the personal development reflection Scary Close, and A Million Miles In A Thousand Years (loved that one!), alongside business classics like Marketing Made Simple, Business Made Simple, Coach Builder, How to Grow Your Small Business, which have collectively shaped how individuals and organizations think about story, purpose, and growth. We explore why curiosity is the secret starting point in every great customer journey, how AI is accelerating both efficiency and confusion in marketing, and why simple messages are often the hardest to write. Donald also opens up about the creative process behind writing, how to chase ideas worth finishing, and why businesses fail not from a lack of creativity - but from poor communication. Whether you're leading a brand, launching a product, or refining your personal pitch, this conversation is a masterclass in messaging. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 55:49.

Send us a textForget everything you thought you knew about marketing in the home services industry. In this eye-opening conversation, Ryan Chute, partner at Wizard of Ads, shatters conventional wisdom about lead generation and reveals the three essential components of effective marketing strategy that most businesses entirely miss.Ryan breaks down why your marketing efforts must go beyond simple lead generation tactics to create meaningful customer relationships. Through vivid analogies and practical insights, he explains how brand activation, sales activation, and prospect portals work together to make your business the obvious choice when customers need your services. It's not about being the cheapest or having the most reviews – it's about creating emotional connections that position your business as the trustworthy solution.The psychology behind customer decision-making takes center stage as Ryan reveals why empathy must precede competence in every customer interaction. He introduces the concept of "tantric selling" – a patient approach to sales that meets customers where they are financially and emotionally in today's uncertain economic climate. This strategy recognizes that breaking the first seal of trust is more important than immediately pushing for maximum ticket size.Perhaps most valuable is Ryan's breakdown of how to structure pricing presentations that tell a compelling story, positioning financing prominently rather than as an afterthought. He explains why your operations must support your marketing promises, why tension can be beneficial while friction destroys momentum, and how to build what he calls a "marketing mansion" in customers' minds instead of just dumping a pile of undifferentiated bricks like your competitors.Ready to transform your approach to marketing and sales?

Lately, I've been working with too many people who don't have a clear vision and plan of where they want to go and what they want to accomplish in their life and business. If you don't know where you want to go, then any path will get you there. You'll end up meandering and then wonder why you're not really getting anywhere in life or business. The crazy thing is recently when I was talking with Brien Gearin about coming on board to help us grow Millionaire University, he asked me if I could send him a business plan, and I realized I didn't really have one...Well, I did sorta but not anything that I could easily send over to him. This allowed me to think through our plan to grow MU to a Billion Dollar Organization over the next 10 years and helped me think through more about how I come up with and write business plans, and how and when you should write a business plan of your own.
