Podcasts about leveraged practice

This episode of The Leveraged Practice Podcast explores a crucial question for private practice owners: Does your practice need a passive income product or a passive income product suite?  With the rapidly changing landscape of healthcare, education, and how people consume information, creating passive income streams has become more relevant than ever. Stephanie Claremont, CEO and founder of The Leveraged Practice, breaks down why the answer is a resounding yes and shares actionable insights on building these products to enhance your practice.     In This Episode, You'll Learn: What is a Passive Income Product? Understand what a passive income product is and how it can benefit your private practice. From digital downloads like workbooks and guides to self-study courses, there are many ways to create products that generate income without ongoing time investment. Why Your Practice Needs Passive Income Products: Align with Modern Learning Trends: People are increasingly learning online through affordable and convenient products. Stand Out as an Expert: Don't let less qualified individuals dominate your field—your expertise is needed! Create Flexibility and Reduce Burnout: By supplementing your income with passive products, you can reduce your one-on-one workload and avoid burnout. Who Are Passive Income Products For? People with budget constraints who can't afford one-on-one services. Those who are short on time and prefer the convenience of self-paced learning. Clients for whom your service isn't a massive priority but still need guidance. Individuals seeking accessible and lower-risk ways to engage with your expertise. Real-World Example: I share my journey from creating my first online program in 2013, generating $7,000, to publishing a book called The IBS Master Plan. This experience showed me the power of passive products in helping more people while reducing my workload. The First Step Strategy: How passive products serve as a "first step" for potential clients, lowering the barrier to entry and building trust, ultimately leading to more significant opportunities, such as group programs or one-on-one services.     Key Takeaways: Passive income products are not just an opportunity but a necessity for health professionals in 2025 and beyond. They help you build a more sustainable practice, reach a broader audience, and create a better work-life balance. These products also offer a solution for clients who need flexibility, affordability, and convenience.     Join the Healthcare Impact Academy: If you're ready to create your own online programs, courses and passive income products, I invite you to check out the Healthcare Impact Academy Membership. Our academy offers step-by-step guidance, an incredible community, and free access to software that simplifies the entire process.

You can hear in this episode how the two of us approach the issues we see in the field differently, and how there is plenty of space for both of us to support dietitians - in fact, our field is stronger because dietitians have multiple support options! (Speaking of support options, I am currently PRE-enrolling in my upcoming launch for my course, ABUNDANCE: a course to help unhappy & burnt out dietitians say F.U. to hustle culture and reclaim their time, energy, and humanity.

When learning anything new, they say “you don't know what you don't know.”  That's why you hire a coach or a mentor. Someone who has been or currently is where you want to be.

Are you ready to make 2022 the best year yet? Have you been thinking about finally adding a group program to your practice or wanting to reduce your one-to-one?

You have to commit to long-term success, longevity, and growth, to your wealth, to your health, and your sustainable business.  In this episode, I share 5 tips to help you shift your long-term mindset.

For the first time, I'm discussing what a professional development framework looks like and how to create a professional development program for your clients. In this episode, I cover a couple of components that are very useful when developing a program as well as a few different styles of frameworks you could use. It is important when developing any program that you aren't just speaking “at” your audience. You need to give them a little bit of the “what to do” and a lot of the “how” to do it.  Listen in as I share the things you will want to include in your professional development framework are: Research Share Your Process Practical Implementation Best Practices   Here are a few more episodes you might find useful: Ep.146 Should You Launch a Minimum Viable Product?

If you're a part of a larger team, a contractor inside an organization, or work in a clinic splitting your income with the owner, you may wonder if you could offer a group program. Perhaps if it would be worth your time? It can be difficult to envision what your online group program looks like associated with the other programs and services that your collaborative team offers.  Does it include other members of the team? How much time will it take me to get it up and going? Will it be worth my time? Whether you run your own practice or you're a part of someone else's, offering a group program can be a very profitable way to serve your clients.  Here at The Leveraged Practice, we've worked with a dozen clients that have added a group program to their organization's offerings successfully to increase profitability and serve those that need them. One of the most incredible ways to use a group program is to create a framework that supports the clients on your clinic's waitlist that are waiting for services.  In today's episode, I discuss how to offer an online program within a clinic that offers other allied health professional services and programs as a contractor, with Danielle Aldous. Danielle and I will discuss why she wanted to offer a program, the structure she has created, and how she's now able to help some of the 200 clients who are on a waitlist for her clinics' services. It's such an incredible model, I can't wait to share it with you. Here are a few more great client examples: Ep.129 Bringing a Physical Practice Online with Physiotherapist Sacha Lay Ep.127 How to Fill Your Program with Selene Yan Ep. 63 Adding an Online Program to a Full Brick and Mortar Practice with Kelly McDonnell-Arnold   About Danielle Aldous A Registered Dietitian and Certified Bariatric Educator who helps adults living with obesity find their best weight and live a healthy and fulfilled life.  She supports her clients at LEAF Weight Management to identify the skills and strategies that work for them so they can commit to act on what they can control and accept the things that are not within their control when it comes to managing obesity.  She helps clients improve nutrition and self-care skills to manage their medical condition. She coaches her clients to consistently nudge their behaviors in the direction of good health with compassion and kindness. @leafwmc   Have you been thinking about launching your own online group program?

Here at The Leveraged Practice, we exclusively work with clinicians and health professionals to help them offer online programming in the health field. We find that offering that first version of a program is really challenging for you.... Why? There is a risk of overthinking, overplanning and stressing about perfectionism in the first version. Whether our clients spend 6 weeks or 6 months on their group program, we see they still need to evaluate and modify this program into an advanced version. Your program needs to have a first version, a beta version, so that you can learn about supporting your clients in this way and evolve into a better model. It's why we encourage you to get started in this area as soon as possible and add a group online element to your practice as soon as possible. In today's episode, I give you 5 techniques to help you evaluate and evolve your program into the best version it can be. Here's what I talked about:       How to evolve your program through client feedback       The importance individual feedback from your enrolled patients       How qualitative data can be just as helpful in validating and evolving your program   As you build or grow your practice, you may be looking at developing online learning for your clients. This gives you the opportunity to provide support in the different ways that people learn, while inspiring them to show up during the times that are convenient for them – so they have the chance to connect and clearly see the value of your expertise and support!   If you enjoyed this podcast, we think you will also enjoy these 3 episodes about creating a results-based online program for your practice:       Ep.97 Enriching 1:1 work with a Complete Group Program with Marie-Josée Rainville (https://theleveragedpractice.com/podcast/ep-97-enriching-11-work-with-a-complete-group-program-with-marie-josee-rainville/)       Ep.84 Pivoting a Full Practice To a Full Group Program with Marie-Pier Pitre-D'Iorio (https://theleveragedpractice.com/podcast/ep-84-pivoting-a-full-practice-to-a-full-group-program-with-marie-pier-pitre-diorio/)       Ep. 88 $0 to $40K with Online Group Programs (https://theleveragedpractice.com/podcast/ep-88-0-to-40k-with-online-group-programs/)     The Leveraged Practice Program is Open for Enrollment!   The Leveraged Practice Program is the complete A-Z process to develop, launch and grow your own online program.

How do you define success?   Here at The Leveraged Practice, we define success as being both profitable AND having a sustainable business. Both of these things are incredibly important and there are several best practices that we use in our company to attain these.   Today, I'm sharing with you 7 of the best practices that we've put together that help our clients do things right the first time, by ensuring that they're providing an incredible program and experience that gets results for their clients - and that they're as successful as possible.   Here's what I covered: How our mission is to refine and redefine health care and how we deliver health to our clients (whether that is in a clinical hospital setting, outpatient setting or in a practice!) The importance of providing one streamlined product offer that addresses the solution to someone's health problem (The more clear and simple the solution is, the better!) Why having a clear start and stop to the solution of the problem works best for health (and the pricing structure that often works well!) The important components to include in your program (which help your clients feel supported while increasing their chances of completing the program and getting results!)  The reasons we don't encourage creating DIY-study courses (your clients need your continued support and feedback as they work through their health!)    These best practices will help you know what to incorporate in your group program so you can be sure to give your clients the help they've been looking for - while making the income you want, without burning out.   Want to learn how to use Results-Driven Online Group Programs to grow your practice in a sustainable and profitable way?  Join me for a free webinar exclusively for health practitioners to learn best practices on offering a structured, step by step program.

I walk through the major steps and give you tips that you can use to identify where to start - or where you may have some areas to improve in your own marketing system.   Here's what I covered:   -> What having a marketing system means for your business (and how you can use it to market yourself, grow your audience and move people over to your sales process!)  -> How to use your own marketing channels while also creating consistent content (and how to reach those who are interested in learning more!) -> Ways to do public outreach using other people's marketing channels (there are so many options to get in front of their audience!) -> What you can do for ‘word of mouth' marketing (and get referrals from other health professionals, colleagues or your own clients!) -> How to know when you're ready to run paid ads (including my recommended conversion number!) -> What to do when people aren't ready to buy (you build a loop into your marketing system to bring them back in!)   Your marketing efforts are going to move people from just hearing about you for the first time, to  understanding and trusting you and your company, to giving them the opportunity to buy your program through your sales process - so it's important that you build each step strategically and keep bringing people in who are the ideal clients you want to work with!

If you: -> want to create an online program -> are curious or nervous about starting an online program  -> or you're already running a program, but it's not doing as well as you had hoped ...it's so beneficial to hear the different stories, scenarios and businesses that your peers and colleagues have - and how they are successfully pivoting from the traditional model of one to one counseling to online group programs.   Through their stories we can see the possibilities that exist to provide impact driven group programs that can be delivered conveniently online, while still offering a customized experience for our clients.   Today, we have another amazing guest and client, Jenny Friedman, Registered Dietitian who works with parents of extreme picky eaters to help their kids learn to comfortably try new foods and expand their diet. She shares how she had been running her business as a side hustle for almost four years while working full time at her job, until a few months ago when she decided to become a full time entrepreneur. She covers the steps she took during that transition and explains how she launched her online group program.   Here's what we talked about: -> How Jenny was managing her side hustle while working full time and what made her decide to leave her job and go full time with her business (after becoming a new mom!) -> How she had been thinking for a long time of how to expand, better help her clients and at the same time build a sustainable practice (and found that creating an online program was the answer!) -> The details of her current 12 week program and how she's now able to support more parents (while working with them live in a fun format!)  -> What the benefits are for clients who go through the group support model (and how it can empower them to take someone else's experience and apply it to their own situation!)   Jenny's story can help you visualize the opportunities you have with the work you're currently doing and reach more clients in an efficient way. By committing to creating a strategic online program for your practice, you'll be working on a long term, sustainable, profitable business model - and you'll be impacting so many more people!   The Leveraged Practice Program is Now Open for Enrolment!

Listen on your favourite podcast app like iTunes or Spotify. One of the biggest conversations that we have with clinicians and health providers is about whether one to one services are better than a group model. We often hear that people are hesitant to shift from that traditional one to one model or if they're starting out, they want to do one to one first.  Today, I'm exploring what the research is saying about e-learning and online group models versus traditional one to one models, as well as sharing some of the best practices that we've learned as a company in supporting clinicians who are teaching health and professional development in an online group program. Here's what I talked about: How we can make online learning enriching AND interesting for our clients, as well as in the health professional development space (instead of having boring lectures!) How you can focus on effective results and a better experience for your clients by providing an online group program (and it's a more efficient use of your own time!)  What I found when going through the research on e-learning (I know you're a researcher and want to understand the clinical research!) The benefit that makes all the difference for long-term success (having that community element helps people not feel alone AND learn from each other!) What we recommend you do to take clients through your framework (which allows your clients to use their time on the calls to get customized support from you!) As you build or grow your practice, you may be looking at developing online learning for your clients. This gives you the opportunity to provide support in the different ways that people learn, while inspiring them to show up during the times that are convenient for them - so they have the chance to connect and clearly see the value of your expertise and support!

  Listen on your favourite podcast app like iTunes or Spotify. As you move from one to one client work to a group program business model, it's important that your investment of energy, time and money contribute to building a business for the long-term - which is exactly what we focus on with our clients. Today, we have another incredible guest and client, Marie-Josée Rainville, Nutritionist and founder of Rainville Nutrition. She focuses on intuitive eating and working with clients who have a difficult relationship with food and with their bodies. She's here to share all about her adventures with moving from a one to one practice to growing her business in a way that she can support clients differently in a group model. Here's what we talked about: How Marie-Josée found that she was limited to the number of clients she could work with in terms of time (so it was natural for her to think about doing an online group program to support more people AND build a community!)  How she created her program framework (by reviewing her one-to-one client files to find those building blocks that she was using with them!)  The details of what's included in Marie-Josée's program (and how her members know their starting point and what their next steps are!) How her vision of bringing in guest experts is evolving (by building relationships with them and getting clarity on their role within her program!)  Her biggest takeaways around building out a business for the long-term (including focusing on connecting with leads, tracking sales, conversion rates, and more!). The goal when building an online program is to produce results for your clients, while also creating a profitable, sustainable business model. By taking Marie-Josée's example as a case study and following these steps, you can work towards creating an online program that provides the guidance, support, accountability and community that people have been looking for!

Often being asked what we sell can make us feel uncomfortable. When we think about what we sell, we feel more like a business.  Sometimes we need to be reminded that we are not just health practitioners, we are business owners too. When you are developing a practice, serving clients, receiving payment for those services, growing that practice, and making more money, you are running a business. Today, I'm talking about pivoting your one-to-one client business model to include an online program, and some of the elements that you want to think about building into a full result program. Here's what I covered: What is a full result program (it's where you take your services, expertise, experience,  schooling and training and structure it into a step by step framework to get your clients from a problem to a solution!) How you can take your existing one-to-one work and restructure it into an online group program (so that you're selling people what they really need to solve their problem!) How to figure out the length of your program (by thinking of what your clients need to achieve results!)  What to think about for your deliverables (and why stand-alone courses don't really get results for your clients!) Why providing a higher level of support is critical for your clients' success (and how peer-to-peer learning is incredibly powerful to deliver higher results!) What to consider when determining the cost of your program (and how a higher investment is going to increase commitment!) Creating a full result online program and including the elements I outlined, can lead you to serving more people, giving them the long-term solution to their problem and changing more lives with your expertise!

Online health education is impacting and continues to impact health as a whole around the world. We need to continue to be innovative on how we are reaching our clients, our patients, and our customers - and know how we can best serve them. My mission is to help health professionals create an online health program or an online program for other professionals, so that we all can work together on impacting people who need our expertise. On today's episode, I wanted to help you get started by giving you four really important steps that come right out of the framework of The Leveraged Practice program. Here's what I shared: The 4 main pillars of creating an online program (it's been so much fun helping over 100 health professionals create and launch their online programs using this framework!) How to know if your online program idea will work (we need to step back from it and identify the problem that we want to solve!) The way to discover your program framework (it starts with a download of all the ideas you have in your head!) Ideas to simplify the delivery and setup of your program (I don't want you to get stuck because of the tech!) My number #1 enrolment strategy (all around building a waitlist - and not pre-selling!) These proven strategies are all about how you can create something that's going to change your life and change the lives of your clients. We do it for them, to help solve their problems with our expertise!

If you've been wondering what exactly do I do within The Leveraged Practice Workshop and have questions about it, today's episode is all about addressing the common questions I get, especially what we do in the workshop and who it's for. It'll also help you understand a way of teaching online, even if you're not quite ready yet to join our current session. I go over the framework we use in The Leveraged Practice Workshop - along with our amazing community, tools, resources, step-by-step workbooks and personal access to me.  By the end of the episode, you'll know exactly what you get when you join, how to show up for it and how much time to put aside to get your online program out into the world! Here's what I covered: Our BIG business mission (and how it involves you, the health practitioner) A bit about my background in creating programs (I started quite young!) What's unique about The Leveraged Practice Workshop (and why our community is amazing!) I answer the question, Why do I teach it live? (It wasn't my plan at first...) Complete outline of The Leveraged Practice Workshop (you know what you're getting both during AND after as an alumni) Who The Leveraged Practice Workshop is for (and who it's not for) How much time should you set aside to go through The Leveraged Practice Workshop (you'll know exactly what to work on today, tomorrow, next week) What's expected of those who join (like how to show up) The 4 sections of The Leveraged Practice Workshop (from building a foundation to actually launching it! - with my support) By you listening, my goal is to help you visualize and picture what your online program might look like and the different pieces of creating it.

Ep. 25: The Next 5 Years Prefer reading? Here's the transcript below Stephanie: I thought that in today's episode, I would go deeper with you on what The Leveraged Practice Workshop is. So, if you've been listening to the podcast for months and months, but you haven't signed up for our workshop, and you're kind of thinking, "What is this thing Stephanie does?", this is going to give you some insight into what the workshop actually is. Especially if you're someone who's thinking about joining and you have some questions about it. And it's also going to help you, if you're not quite ready to join the workshop, understand a way of teaching online. So I'm going to go through today, what The Leveraged Practice is - as a company, our history and what the workshop is - the format and why I do it in the format that I do, and the framework. So what we teach in the workshop, what's expected of our clients and students, like how to show up, and what you get. So this is helpful for you if you are planning an online workshop, or training, or professional training especially, or any kind of online program, because you're going to see the flow of how my company mission affects the workshop. Also, why we chose this particular way of delivering the content, along with what the framework looks like. All this stuff that I'm going to tell you today that I just said, is going to help you visualize and picture what yours might look like. So that's one reason why I'm doing this. And the second is because I have a lot of people who are interested in the workshop and end up having a lot of questions. So they want to know what we do in the workshop. And you know, how much time they need to save and stuff like that. So, if you are listening to this, and you're considering joining me for a live workshop, I'm so honored and I would love for you to join our small group live workshop this next time around. This podcast is being released in September, when enrollment is open for our fall semester of The Leveraged Practice Workshop. So after listening to this, if you want to sign up, you can go to theleveragedpractice.com. If you're listening to this when enrollment is not open, you can join up for the waitlist for the next online program that we'll offer. And if you're listening to this far, far in the future, know that we offer these workshops quarterly, and they're small group so we can provide really intimate and customized feedback for our clients. What is The Leveraged Practice Workshop?   So the starting place, my friend, what is The Leveraged Practice company all about? Well, the mission of The Leveraged Practice is to help as many health practitioners and clinicians as possible, so that you, the health practitioner and clinician can go out into the world and help as many people as you can. So our vision and our mission is really to change the landscape of how we deliver health information, how we can leverage technology in order to impact people in a more effective way, and impact more people. We love the idea, and I say 'We' because I'm putting myself in the shoes of the company. The company, as a whole, has this mission and this love for the fact that online education can help reach more people with health education. With online programs, we can reduce pricing of what would be costly private health care. We can reduce pricing for companies and health units and the government as a whole by delivering a more leveraged way of helping people through their health. I'm such a big fan of group programs because they can be built to deliver effective results in a really efficient way that helps both the client and patient and the teacher, which is you. So our mission really comes down to empowering as many health professionals, because we and I know that you will go out there and help hundreds, maybe thousands of people. And by doing our job, we can help impact so many more people. So that is our mission and that is why this company was formed. That is what we're doing with these workshops. It's really about changing the health landscape and taking our position as experts in online health education, to lean in and help more people who don't really know how to create an online program to do it, and to make this health impact. My Experience in Creating Online Programs   So that leads into the history. You may know a little bit of the history of myself and the company, because I talked about it a little bit in some of the earlier podcast episodes and sometimes I mentioned it in a podcast episode. I myself am a registered dietitian. I became a registered dietitian in 2009 after graduating from the University of Toronto. However, what I realized is that my whole life, I've been creating programs. I was a lifeguard and a camp counselor as a young person. I ran a lot of cooking programs. I just loved programming. So I've been creating programs since I was like six years old and created a neighborhood book club. Oh my, I'm not even going to go into it. I was on Student Council in high school, like I just created program after program after program. And so when I became a dietitian, and I was honored and lucky to get into a master's program where I learned more about, you guessed it, program planning. My very first job as a dietitian was first researching, developing, implementing and evaluating a program for kids in cooking to help reduce diabetes and obesity in the children population. I created that program and within 12 months had submitted it for an award. We won that program on a national award. So I am such a program planner at heart and it's taken me decades to actually realize that I've always loved creating programs. And then I myself in my career, besides what I shared with you working for other people, have created in my private practice, when I've been working for myself, 10 online programs and launched many, many times because that's what you do when you create a program. You launch over and over and over again. So I've actually created a lot of online programs, and I started to coach dietitians several years before founding The Leveraged Practice. As I was coaching dietitians, I was helping them to create programs. Many of my client dietitians created online health programs, or online professional programs, and I just loved it. I could help my clients create their program, choose technology, launch it out in the world to get lots of people to sign up, and just understand how to transfer their incredible expertise in nutrition, or whatever their health area of expertise was, into this online teaching platform. So, over the last few years before forming the company. I realized this was my real specialty. I was really good at it, just from that program planning mindset I've always had throughout my life, but then as actually implementing it in my practice. This company and I, as a facilitator, I think comes from a very unique perspective that I've done it before. I've created five professional programs. I've created five clinical client based health programs. I've been in program planning. I have a master's in health science that has helped me to get the education I need to know more about program planning and know how to use the research to help you to create an online program. So as a facilitator, as a teacher, as you know, someone who coaches and encourages my students along, that's my story and that's what I think is a very interesting expertise to bring to the world of online education. I see a lot of people out there teaching how to create a course or a program that don't really have this position. So when you join The Leveraged Practice, or listen to the podcast, or engage with me at all, that's who you're getting. That's who you have in front of you, is someone with that experience, both from the books at school, as well as personal experience creating the programs, and testing them, and tweaking them, and growing them, and in helping my students as well and my clients over the years. I also have scaled a program. So I work personally with a company who sells my program to corporations. So we've put thousands of people through the program at this point, which I think is really rare. So that is what led me into founding The Leveraged Practice, and specifically and very clearly helping health practitioners to create an online program for their practice, just specializing in that. How The Leveraged Practice Workshop Began   Now the workshop is really interesting, because when I started this company, I really wanted to do in-person, live two or three day workshops. Where it would be intensive, and you would come meet me in the city, work on creating all of your content, and then go back and launch your program. What I realized when I launched my first workshop was that was really tricky for people to take the time away from their business, their clinic, their work life, their kids and their family. The cost was quite prohibitive to enroll in a live workshop that was costly, as well as to travel and to stay - all of it. Since my mission is to impact as many health practitioners as possible, the cost kind of stopped people from coming in person. So our very first workshop and ever since has been live, but online. So the online format, which is funny, because I'm teaching you how to teach online, the online format works best for my people as well. As you know, in hanging out with me, the people are the most important thing as you create your program and your product, and you want to grow your practice. So, that's what we do. We created and have launched this online program. It's eight weeks long and it includes covering four main areas of work, where I work you through building a foundation and then launching an online program. So I just wanted to lean in and let you know, that's why it's an online format. Why The Leveraged Practice Workshop is Live   The other question I get a lot is, "Why is it live?" Like, why am I teaching live? I know many of my clients, and maybe many of you are thinking, I want to have passive income. I want to work less, why am I teaching live? Listen, if you have 20 people in a live class, you're still leveraging your time - and you don't have to do live. I love live. I think it's fun to teach and I enjoy showing up for my students in a live format so I can customize the workshop to everyone's unique practice and goals. So, that's really important to me, that when people join The Leveraged Practice Workshop, it's not just a DIY self study course, that you work through week by week on your own time, it actually is something where you show up and you follow a plan week by week. And you get instant feedback so you know that you're doing it right. You also get someone who's done it before that can help you feel a little better about the overwhelm. I actually ran a course similar to this. The idea was to help people create online courses. I ran it several times in more of a self study fashion where there were pre-recorded videos and workbooks, and just live Q&A calls. I found that my clients that enrolled in that program didn't get success. Well, it's not that they didn't get success, it's that they didn't complete the program. That's what it was about. Some of those clients did complete the program and got great success in launching an online course or program or workshop. But many people in that format didn't complete the program and so that's not really what I want to do. I don't want people to just give me money, and then never do what they want to do. I want people to get the result and I'm invested in you to get an online program out in the world. That's why I show up live every week for eight weeks. I teach the content live and we actually use workbooks. Like I said, there's four main sections and so there's four workbooks. I teach straight from the workbook so that it's very easy to follow along and people are taking notes along the way. They're bringing their work from their workbook from the week before to get feedback and ask questions. Everyone in the workshop has the opportunity to chat with me, to connect with me and to get feedback. If they're stuck, they can hop on a call with me or hop into email or in our community. The goal is to get results. So I show up very actively during our live workshop, and it's kept to being a small group. I never see these workshops as having 200 people in them as our company grows. They will always be small group so that I can answer questions. I think this experience is rare. I think there's lots of $2000, $3000, $4,000 coaching experiences or online courses that don't give you this kind of intimate care. The reason that I do it is because I want the results for my clients. That's the whole point and that's what I teach. That you actually create an online program that works for your clients or patients. It may not be live. It really may be pre-recorded, because that depends on your audience. So we're not going to go into that today. But that is why I've developed the workshop in this format for you, the health practitioner. Now there are replays available within a very short time. So our clients who can't attend the live session can watch the replay. And they can access me via email and via our Facebook group to ask questions and to get follow up. They can pre-submit questions as well. And so there's still that support if people can't make each workshop live. The Time Investment to Create an Online Program   Why is it eight weeks? Well, because if I let people procrastinate and do it over four months, they won't get it done. And so the eight weeks allows us to continue that momentum and work through the program. If you're wondering about how long it takes, or how much time to block off, this is a great question. I highly recommend that when people enroll in the program, they block off three, two to three, it's up to you, but two to three, about three hour chunks of time. Because each week you'll be working on creating your program. You'll be working on doing market research, creating your program, creating that content, mapping out the delivery, putting the technology in place, and then building out your launch process. And so there's actual work to do each week. I don't recommend that you sign up, if you don't have the space to do the work to actually create and launch an online program. This workshop is for people who are ready to create and build and then launch an online program. If that's what you want to do, you have to be here. This is where we make it happen for you. There's accountability and there's resources. I make you pick a launch date, this is for you to do that. It's tricky but I support you every way with every tool I have. I give you resources and templates, and examples to save you as much time as possible. Like I said, lots of feedback to help you keep your momentum going forward. It's not for the people who maybe want to do an online program one day, and if that's you, that's okay, come and join me when you're ready. So when you sign up for the workshop, really make sure that you look at your calendar. I know things come up so sometimes people fall behind, and that's okay. But see if you can map out two to three, three hour chunks of time. So maybe like the morning or the afternoon, two to three days a week, block it off of patient work and anything else that you have to do. Maybe it's the weekends, maybe it's the evening, it's totally up to you, but block off that time. So you can actually do the work as we work along. Because I really encourage people to do that, and not just join and not build an online program. The Benefits of The Leveraged Practice Workshop Community   The community and the people that you're around in this workshop is like no other. You're not around a bunch of people who just signed up and aren't doing anything with the program. You're in a community of real health practitioners, real experts, who are actively creating and delivering and launching online programs, which I think is the most special part, beyond me being helpful and being your teacher. This community of health professionals doing this incredible thing. There's nothing like it anywhere. We're a community to learn from and a community to ask questions from, and people that are actively invested in creating and launching their online programs. I've been in a lot of different courses on the internet and a lot of people are doing nothing with those courses. So this is a really cool place to do that. The Framework to Create an Online Program   So I started to mention the framework. The first of the four sections is actually market research. So you do this part first with a workbook where I teach you how to do some market research on your audience. You get clear on the people you're serving, the problem you're going to solve and your vision for this online program. I walk you through my techniques and ways to connect with people, interview people and chat with people to get this research down and to collect those real words from people - that we then can use for marketing to connect with them in the future - when we want to sell our program and encourage them to enroll. So that's the first unit, getting really clear on that work. That work is the most important because we want to help you build a program that people want to enroll in, right? You can build a program. You can put it out on the internet any day you like. But if no one signs up, it's a waste of time. I don't want to waste your time, and so that's why we do that first part of it, where we're getting really clear on the people and the problems. So when you go to launch, people do sign up, right? That's the most important thing. The second section that we spend a couple of weeks on is the transformation and outline in your programs. This is where we create the content, the lessons, the modules and we decide on the delivery of it. So will you teach live? Will you do pre-recorded? You know, what's the journey you're going to take people through online. Then the third section is delivery. So this is a sticky section for a lot of people. We spend three weeks on it, where we are talking about how you're going to deliver this incredible content you have. I can't really, I don't want to say, can't help you with content. I don't know your content. I don't know your specialized interest, your expertise you bring - but I can help you outline your content, and decide on what goes where. But more so where I'm the most helpful is in the delivery of it. So how to actually teach it online. What technology to use, the logistics, the timing, the different tools and how to support your clients. So there's some different pieces in delivery where there's the main content and how you're going to deliver that. If it's in print, audio, video, pre-recorded, live, all of that. Then there's also how you're going to support people. So you might have a DIY program. But you're still going to need support, because people are going to have questions. So what are you going to do with questions? Are you going to do live Q&A calls? Are you going to have a forum? A community? Are you going to be on social channels? Are there going to be office hours with you? Are you going to provide Voxer? Email support? We go into a whole section on identifying the support pieces and your delivery, and then logistics of delivery and how to offer it, and give people feedback on their course outlines and delivery, and all that kind of thing. What is also really fun is that other people are there too, sharing the outlines and delivery of their programs. So you get these great ideas that you can't get anywhere else, because you're learning in this group workshop environment and hearing these incredible questions from other people, and these incredible programs from other people and learning from them as we go as well. I just think this workshop is so special because of the people that are in it. Not me. I mean, I'm very helpful. I think I'm good at what I do. But the people in the workshop, the community that you're a part of, it doesn't exist, if you work with a coach. It doesn't exist, if you're in another course, not like with the health professionals and practitioners that we enroll, and that we work with, and the questions they ask and what they deliver and put out in the world, gosh, it's just such a great place. So I'd love for you to be a part of it, if you feel like you're ready to create your online program. And the fourth section is launching. So you've heard me say before, do not just put a post on Facebook, or send an email out to your list. When it's time to bring your online program out into the world, we need to plan a launch. A launch has four phases, which I have recorded in a future podcast episode that is coming soon. So I teach that four phase launch process with my clients. We do that for a couple of weeks and we build out their launches. We build out their launch calendars. We build out the strategies that they're going to use. We build out what they're going to include in all four phases of the launch process, how they're going to encourage people to purchase now and not wait until later. I give lots of examples of calendars and actually set dates with people. I give examples of emails, examples of landing pages, all kinds of stuff. Everything I can to help reduce the time and pain it is for you to do a launch, because I know it can be scary the first time around. And I do launch plan reviews. So that's the framework that I walk people through, my clients through, in The Leveraged Practice Workshop over those weeks. I mentioned a little bit about what's expected. What You Get in The Leveraged Practice Workshop   What you get is lifetime access to the program content, the community, the resources, the workbooks, all of that. You are a part of this program, and you get all of that for life. When I say life, I mean the lifetime of our company, and as long as we deliver the program. And so you get that. You also get like I said, access to the community. There are four workbooks that you just work through one at a time. I'm working you through it, it's not like you're just watching videos, and then you have to go off and do some work that you're unclear about. It's very clear on what you need to do, step by step. And you know what? It should be, because I'm teaching you how to create an online program. This should be the best damn online program you've ever done. And I think it is, because I've done a ton of online programs, and a lot of them are terrible. Let me tell you, I give them feedback. A lot of people do not know how to create an online program. They want to make money, or they think they know something and they put a bunch of videos out and it's terrible. You're unclear of what to do next. There's missing pieces. It's awful. That's not what I do and it's not what I teach you. And so my online program, this workshop is done very well. I'm collecting feedback the entire time, and I'm showing you how to do it. I use a lot of different tools in order to engage. Like I said, I like to do it live. The workbooks and the content works you step by steps. You know exactly what to work on today, tomorrow, next week. You know where you're going and there's a way for you to always get feedback and ask questions. I show you how to do a great job at teaching online. If nothing else, people come into this program and they look at the way that I've built it. I've built each week, and each module, and each piece, and each feedback form, and all the things, and they're like, "Whoa, okay, I'm gonna do it like this." So, that's what you get. You get that lifetime access. You get these four workbooks, working through this four sections of content. You get feedback, real life feedback, and customization of the content. If you're teaching a professional workshop, if you're teaching in the mental health field, if you're teaching physiotherapy, nutrition, medicine, whatever it is, you get customization of the content to your program, because it's live. You get access to all the replays. If you can't make it, you get to pre-submit questions. You get to email me if you need help. You get access to our community, so other people. You get support as you launch. I write down your date and I support you during it. I hold you accountable but I also am there for you, if you need me. And those are the main pieces. You also get to be a part of our alumni community. The thing is, for our alumni, they're always creating and launching online programs. So instead of just creating a workshop, and then letting them figure out their future, we offer online workshops. And so our students, our alumni need help as they continue to launch. So we do launch debrief workshops, where I help people understand what worked and what didn't work in their launch. I help my clients by bringing in experts with copywriting, website strategy, building funnels, branding, just whatever, legal. We have a lawyer on staff, as one of our advisors who helps our clients understand the legality and regulation part of it. Only by being a part of our alumni do you get access to those ongoing workshops. So, then that is what The Leveraged Practice is. I've gone over, how you show up, how much time you're going to need to do it, that we have access to replays and there's lifetime access. You know who it's for and who it's not for. These are all important things that you need to do as you create an online program, advertise it and market it. Get clear on all these steps. The Best Time to Launch an Online Program   If this is something that you're ready to do, if you're ready this fall to create an online program, and let me tell you, it's a great time to do it. Because my fall clients are going to launch at one of the best times of the year to launch, which this might sound crazy, but it's holidays. During the holidays or post holidays, is one of the best times to launch an online health program. Because the holidays stir up pain for people. If you want to lose weight, if you have digestive symptoms, if you're feeling sluggish and tired with all the food and all the parties, everyone falls off the plan. And so it's a great time for you to stand up and say, "Hey, I have a way for you to take control of whatever this health problem is. I'd love for you to join me." So for a lot of people, it's a great time to launch. So my clients who are joining this workshop in the fall are going to launch either mid-to-end December or January. So New Year's, that's when they're going to plan their first launch for now. Of course, we'll customize it to you and your audience. But it is a great time of year for you to join this group. It's going to be a good one and get you all launched at an incredible time of the year. If you have any questions, please find me at theleveragedpractice.com.

I'd love to walk you through this and help along the way. We do offer small group. So I'm not sure if it will fill up or not. I'm not sure if we'll run out of seats. But I definitely recommend that if you want to do this, that you get on right away. And you save your seat and you sign up, and we can start getting to know you and what your goals are. All right. I hope this was helpful if you are thinking about joining me for a workshop, but also I hope it's helpful if you're not ready to join me and you're just thinking things through, understanding what the offer looks like for your online program and the different pieces that it has. It's always my goal to help you no matter what you decide in working with me or not. But I do hope that you sign up for our workshop and work with me. I would love to work with you and help you do this. Again, hope this was helpful and I will see you back here next time.

Do you have all the ideas? I mean... ALL. THE. IDEAS. when it comes to creating an online program for your practice? Perhaps you're thinking of a membership for your clients, and also thinking about a great course for people with just the basics and also want to run a workshop for professionals. The Leveraged Practice philosophy is to start with your people, the client and dig deeper into understanding their problem before even creating an online program.
