As a biz owner, have you ever thought about your state of energetic flow with every product and service you've offered for that year? In this episode, I share some insights on how the Human Design course has helped me understand myself and how I use those traits to show up for my clients and community. You'll learn how I incorporate my Human Design type as a 'Manifesting Generator' into my business, such as assessing and choosing the participants for my mastermind program. You'll also know how I use such type in deciding on the changes and enhancements to my coaching programs. --- Get daily business affirmations by texting ‘ABUNDANCE' to (310) 388-8603 Timestamps: How I was introduced to the Human Design course (03:39) Do people with the same Human Design type share similar traits?

The downfall, like I mentioned [is that] I moved too fast; I skipped steps and then I needed to go back. I'm also very good at quantum leap-ing, but I also need to learn how to be patient because there are multiple steps that I need to learn in order for me to manifest over, and over, and over again." (17:40) "I'm only saying YES to what— and [it] can be products or services, trips, luxury goods, decisions with my children, family decisions related to travel....

I may be in the 'high' right now.... So I may not want to say YES right away [to] let's just say... an investment, like a course. I may want to read the sales page again..., sleep on it, journal about it, pray on it, [or] talk to my team about it.

Fueling our body is often talked about from the standpoint of counting macros, watching portions and eliminating some foods altogether.  And while that approach may seem ‘simple' to some—it can be complex to others. What if we could approach eating from a more mindful place AND keep it simple? Rym Selmi is an entrepreneur, health coach and health enthusiast and after having her own challenges with eating in a way that worked for her, she decided to not only share her body of work with the world, but she also has started a food business where she offers products that make cooking and eating well easy and fun.

(08:41) "I definitely would not encourage you to just hop into an online course and create one.

Starting and growing a small business is a challenge. If you're finding it isn't, you might not be pushing hard enough. Scaling doesn't happen overnight either: it's a process — a long one. In this episode, Jackie Reses and Lauren Weinberg share their business journeys to becoming the Self-Made Bosses they are today. We discuss everything from the mental side of starting a company to the practical aspects of a business plan. Sometimes you know what you want from the beginning, and sometimes opportunities bring you to unexpected places. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Your company's working environment will depend on what your employees want and what your company does. Starting a business is a challenge: are you ready with both mental and physical assets? SMEs need to pay attention to many things, but cash flow is typically the most critical. [07:47] Jackie and Lauren's Journeys Jackie grew up with the grittiness of entrepreneurship, eventually starting her own business at 16. She retained this mindset all her life. Combined with her desire for independence, an amazing education, and good experience at the start of her career, she had a solid mental foundation for work. Lauren's career path took her through multiple jobs. She took opportunities wherever she could, leading to a happy, accidental journey through a broad range of things. [17:04] The Philosophical and the Practical Starting a business alone is a highly personal journey — it's almost all about you and your resources. It has two aspects: a philosophical side and a practical one. The philosophical asks: “Are you ready?” Conversely, the practical requires creating and breaking down your plan. You have to know what you're going to do before you do it. Starting a business will always be a stressful challenge, so it's critical to be mindful: Do you need a break? Do you need to delegate? Stress can cause mistakes, so look for those signals. [29:47] The Workplace Environment The last two years have changed how people work and spend their time. People have different priorities now, making staffing a challenge. While there's a lot to be gained by working in person, not everyone wants to go to the office anymore. Ultimately, it depends on the business and the people. [34:25] The Growth Journey There are several factors to consider when you want to scale as a business, such as cash flow, product lines, and staffing. Cash flow is typically the most significant issue for small businesses. It's essential to consider how to acquire inventory capital or invest, but that's not always readily available.

As a business owner, are you ready to delegate your tasks but not sure on what role you'll be hiring for?

What are SOPs and why do you need them in your business? In this episode, I went live on Instagram to highlight the three main reasons you should create Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for your current or future business. I share examples of how I implemented SOPs to help me build, grow, and scale my business. You'll recognize how SOPs can help biz owners in hiring different roles for their organization, delegating tasks to focus on CEO activities, and helping team members understand their responsibilities to stay on top of their projects. --- Get daily business affirmations by texting ‘ABUNDANCE' to (310) 388-8603 Timestamps: What are SOPs? (02:40) #1: SOPs make it easier to keep your business running while you're on vacation (03:41) #2: SOPs help you with hiring and delegation (08:06) #3: SOPs allow you to have time flexibility (12:52) How SOPs have helped me in growing and scaling my business (21:14) Therapist Deserve Abundance (TDA) Conference updates and announcements (29:07) Standout Quotes: "Some people walk around and say..., I'm an entrepreneur, I'm a boss babe, or I'm a biz owner, but biz owner is really the adoption of the mindset that you need to push your revenue to the next level, to delegate to the next level, be a leader to the next level, and of course, expand your reach and your impact on the next level." (01:58) "If I'm hiring for... social media seat, I need to have specific standard operating procedures (SOPs) that are directly correlated with how they're supposed to show up at their job to do it well— to the point that I don't have to micromanage them." (05:09) "The whole goal, I thought, of most people opening up a business (beyond revenue) is that you wanted to make an impact…, have flexibility..., create your own schedule..., have lifestyle abundance. And so how can you have... lifestyle abundance when you always have to be there to pick up all the pieces and do all the work?" (12:59) Do you have SOPs? Do an evaluation of your business. If you have an org chart..., every seat should have a variation of different SOPs. So if I hired someone to be for customer service, customer service is loaded with multiple things, and so I need to have a standard operating procedure for every single task that I'm giving them.

Data is a powerful tool. The more data we can collect on our counseling programs, the more effective our programs will be and the more students we will be able to serve and impact. All month, I've been sharing my favorite data tools that I've found super helpful in my own program, and I've been joined by guests who have shared how they have used these tools in their own programs. In episode 89, I interviewed Jessica Weinberg about how she uses Behavior Surveys to transform her program. Katherine Guerrero joined me in episode 90 to discuss how she uses the End of the Year report, and in Episode 92, I shared how to create an End of the Year Report. Episode 91 was all about how to use attendance data to form school counseling groups. I hope you've had a chance to try out some of these data tools and see how you can use them to help you in your school counseling program. I have one more data tool I want to share with you as you're wrapping up your program this year and starting to look toward next school year. In this episode, I discuss how you can use Parent/Teacher Feedback Survey data to modify your school counseling program. The feedback survey provides valuable information about how parents and teachers feel about the counseling program in general and if it has been beneficial to their child/student's life now. I hope you'll be inspired to create a simple yet effective feedback survey for your program that will help you make your counseling program even better next year.

Clarity brings purpose. A lot of times people don't really know what a school counselor does, and there's a lot of confusion around the role of the counselor. The more clear we can be about who we are, what we offer, and how we help students, the more purposeful our school counseling programs can be. One of the ways we bring clarity to our role is by sharing data that we've collected about the services we've provided and the progress our students have made. Data can help us modify our school counseling programs so we are more effective. We can also use data to show teachers, administrators, parents, and the community the important work we do. No one can argue with the cold, hard data.  Today, I'm sharing with you my all-time favorite school counseling data tracking tool…the End of the Year Report. I'll do a deep dive on what the End of the Year Report is, what to include in your report, and how to use it to help you transform your counseling program so you can better serve your students and advocate for your role. I also have an editable template you can use to make creating your End of the Year Report super simple and will give you a way to share all of your hard work and data-driven results with a year-long reflection of your comprehensive school counseling program.

How many hours do you spend working every week? What would happen if you could get that number down to 10 hours?    If you've been following me for a while and you're trying to get your workweek down to 10 hours but you're not sure where to start, this episode is going to simplify things for you. I'm sharing the 2 ingredient recipe for 10 hr workweek success.    There are two simple steps that you can take that will allow you to get a whole week's worth of work done in 10 hours. The first one is a belief, and the second one is a skill. I'm sharing what they are and how to practice them so that they become second nature to you.    I'm working to heal the idea that hard work is the only way to create success. Hard work is usually associated with using more time and expending more energy. That's not the only path to success, and I want to show you how to do things differently so that you can have more time to do the things you really love.    If that sounds good to you, tune in to learn more.   Resources Mentioned: Get the 30-Day Planner and 3-Hr $100k Biz Crash Course: https://neillwilliams.com/30-day-planner-landing-1  Connect with me @neillwilliamscoach on Instagram and Facebook   If you're loving what you're learning on this podcast every week - the tools, the strategies, and the brain hacks to unbusy your schedule and also unbusy your mind so that you can unbusy your life - please follow, rate and review by heading to Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.   Full show notes available at www.neillwilliams.com/podcast   

How are SLPs different than reading teachers?      This is a question I see a lot in my SLP Elevate membership. People want to know how we can differentiate ourselves from a standard reading teacher and show our value without just doing the same thing over and over. Some even wonder why students even come to us for things like this.    In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, I want to really dive into this question. I want to share how we as SLPs are, in fact, very different from reading teachers, and how we can differentiate our instruction.    Yes, our students are working on things like the main idea, summarizing, inferencing, and answering questions in their regular classroom. What you have to remember is that decoding times language comprehension equals reading comprehension. A student can't be an effective reader if they do not have adequate language skills, and that is where we fit into the puzzle.    We are the ones that focus on that integral piece of education. We work on sentence structure, categorization, syntax, vocabulary, auditory memory, and so much more. We are the ones going deep into those skills and strategies that our students really need to succeed.    Make sure to tune in today to hear my best tips for differentiating your lessons to highlight your unique position in your students' educational experience.    Full show notes available at www.speechtimefun.com/120   Resources Mentioned:  Get my free Critical Thinking Probes: https://www.speechtimefunpd.com/critical-thinking-probes Join my membership to plan with ease and confidence: https://www.speechtimefunpd.com/slp-elevate-aug   Where We Can Connect:  Follow the Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/slp-coffee-talk/id1497341007 Follow Hallie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speechtimefun Follow Hallie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SpeechTimeFun/ Follow Hallie on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/missspeechie/

Have you noticed how many teachers are leaving the profession lately? It's incredibly disheartening to see how many are leaving, but I don't blame them! They are burned out and demoralized. If this sounds like you, you're in the right place. I know many of us are just counting down until break or may not even want to go back next year, so in this episode of Real Teacher Talk, I am sharing six steps that you can use in your life right now if you are dealing with burnout. To understand this issue, we have to get clear on what burnout is and what demoralization is.

One of the best ways to ensure that a course aligns with what you need is to ask the right questions.

Join me in this episode as I highlight the 3 areas that every therapist should evaluate before making a financial investment for their current or future business.

(05:57) "Let me ask you for your future or current business: Are you current with the knowledge of what it takes to have what you desire in your business? If we're talking about money, do you understand your numbers?

(11:06) "When I started investing in myself— even before I paid the money— I really had to take a step back and ask myself: How am I going to utilize this information? How is it going to be implemented in my business from the information of the value that was articulated about the program or service? How will I implement it in my business? I will also ask myself: Do I have access to this information already?" (13:43) "Take a step back; does your bank account, schedule, and lifestyle reflect the business owner? Because what I find is that a lot of therapists are W9, sole proprietor, entrepreneur, boss babes. They are not business owners.

Are you finding it hard to say no in your business? Understanding how to set healthy boundaries is essential not only for your therapy clients but also for business owners like you. Learning how to say no will give you the ability to create space for things you want to spend your time on, whether it be for your personal development or self-care. In this episode, I share with you the practical steps I took in creating my schedule to protect my time and learn to say no in my business.

(12:36) "Learning how to say no is setting up boundaries. So when you set up your protection of your time, that for me is inputting blocks on your calendar of self-care, like nobody can schedule during that time. If somebody clicks on your Calendly link, it will block it out and say that it's not available. You have to set those things up." (13:43) "To give you an idea of what can happen when you sit down and create the schedule: I recognize that I gave myself permission to be off for 14 or 17 days every single month which means that I have truly, finally, got to the point where I physically see the scalability in my business and this is only the beginning.

Have your students ever complained that they can't play video games in your classroom? Mine did, and it gave me an idea for a classroom activity that I knew they would love.    This is the story of how we ended up playing Minecraft in my classroom to learn about social studies.    My students were shocked when I said yes to letting them play video games in class, and because I listened to them and let them lead, they were engaged in the project right from the start.    Now, I didn't just set my students loose on the computers and let them do whatever they wanted. We talked as a class about the curriculum expectations for their project on the global community, they created a plan for how to demonstrate the curriculum expectations in Minecraft, and then they did it!    I even learned a thing or two about Minecraft along the way.    If this sounds like something your students would love, tune in to find out how we made it work!    Show notes available at www.madlylearning.com/221   Resources Mentioned: Get the Minecraft Project Outline for Free: http://www.madlylearning.com/minecraft  I would love to connect on Facebook: http://facebook.com/MadlyLearning  I would love to connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/madlylearning

This episode is a must for ANYONE holding space and facilitating the psychedelic journey for others.  As leaders of this community, we need to learn how to not cause any kind of harm to those we are entrusted to heal, this is why training and being trauma informed is so crucial for anyone holding space.  In this episode Laura Dawn drops in with somatic psychotherapist Laura Mae Northrup about the importance of understanding the power dynamic, consent, what we need to be aware of when it comes to sexual harm, and how not to cause it. Tragically, survivors of sexual trauma are more likely to be sexually abused by the practitioners they go to for healing.  Tune in and you'll get practical guidance you can apply immediately, powerful resources to become more trauma-informed, a more informed perspective about the importance of psychedelic preparation, and get to the heart of understanding trauma so that we can co-create a safer future for everyone. Key takeaways: Absolutely everyone involved in facilitating a container for another's psychedelic journey should become trauma informed and take training. As a community we MUST have difficult conversations with each other, and hold each other accountable for upholding the safety of all. Power dynamics exist that we may not be aware of, and we have to be diligent in getting feedback from our peers if we are unclear about crossing a line. Which training is best for people just entering into psychedelic facilitation.  How healing practitioners can unconsciously cross lines. Sexual Abuse in Patient/Clinician relationships.

"People are very quick to say, 'I just want the 7 streams of income', but you have not worked out the things that need to make your first stream of income stable." Depending on their niche, therapists can exactly generate other streams of income from digital products, coaching, or even from those that are beyond therapy. But before you go all in and start marketing for your products and services, you want to make sure that you've already thought about the stability and consistency of your first stream of income. In this episode, we go over the list of things to consider before adding another income-generating source to your business. I also share with you some useful tips that helped me become more consistent and highly successful in my main income stream. --- Are you going for private practice as your main or second stream of income?

(22:15) Standout Quotes: "You want to be clear that you're being consistent with your marketing to that stream of income. Let's just say if it's private practice: Are you consistent with who you're targeting in your audience? Are you clear with your ideal client? Because those things don't change when you add another stream of income. But what it will do— if you have unstable biz and inconsistent results in your biz— is that you may think you're winning because you get 1 or 2 clients, or you get a lot of clients and you're getting money, but then you don't have the systems to back it up." (05:56) "Before adding any of these streams of income that I have right now, I made the decision to slow down. Sometimes you have to slow down to speed up. And I became more consistent and successful to the optimal level in my main stream of income." (17:39) "Before I go all in and start marketing for these things, I wanted to make sure that I was consistent in my first, main stream of income because if I'm not all-in over there— and that is not up to par in terms of maintaining— then what will happen is that one of these streams will fall apart.

And I think that was even my word for the year... And then we kept talking about it in the cohort as well, like what does abundance look like? What can it feel like? So those things were helpful to flesh out. And to be able to honor that, I feel so blessed to be able to follow that instinct versus allowing other people's fears and concerns drive me away from what I knew I could do." (22:31) "The goal was for me to support in dispelling the myth that mental health is not important in communities of color. That is my tagline. I will stand behind that. I stand on that. That's the healing that I'm gonna live and die on." (29:25) "Making the declaration that it was going to be that price— I'm not gonna move on it, I'm not gonna do sliding scale anymore, I'm not gonna do the other things. Within that short amount of time, I had at least one client come on with no problems." (40:41) Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: "When I'm talking to therapists that run across my feed, they're like, how did you do this? How did you do that? I said, oh I made the decision. And that was probably the hardest decision that I had to sit down and make. And they were like, that just sounds so easy. I said it can be, but it's a process. But what I mean by ‘it can be' is that everybody's so focused on strategies of how to have profitability and all these big things and I'm like, it really starts with you having faith and simply following the seeds of what you've already planted." (18:41) "We talked about objections and we did mini-role plays because I needed you to feel confident when saying it (prices) and I think that plays a role when we practice what our gifts are and speaking our value to other clients— it makes it easier."

The way that I even think about investments that I wanna make next year whether it is the things that I have to do with my time and/or money [whether it be for my house or my business], I am really focusing on what my goals are at the end of the year and then I work backward, I reverse engineer it." (01:24) "I want you to ask yourself: How many people are you letting down when you decide not to take advantage of the investment that you've made in yourself? Nobody asked you to be a therapist or want a private practice. You did that." (41:29) "Remember you attract what you think and how you behave, such as friendships, collegial ships [like professional relationships], partners, best friends, and your clients. So let me ask you: If you want to attract profitability in your business into your lifestyle and you want abundance, how are you putting that energy back into yourself first? What you put out, you get back. If you are constantly focusing on what you're not getting in a program and not looking at what you're actually getting, this is why you're stuck." (54:53) "Clearly when I don't even like my therapy clients, I'm still going hard for the outcome. And they're gonna know that if I have to terminate this process because they didn't do their job, or for whatever reason people don't show up back to the DTA community if they need to do a refresher— all love.

And particularly with the clients I was working with, they're all Black people. And so I knew what was best for them in terms of how to talk to them, even our rapport, our relationship building." (06:02) "It was a huge learning curve with DTA. I was like, OMG I didn't know all this stuff. It was just amazing. And to be able to really [narrow in] in terms of what is my specific area of focus." (13:28) "Have a real-talk conversation with yourself. Are you happy with how your life is going right now? Are you happy with where you are professionally? If you don't do anything about it, guess what? More than likely nothing's going to change. So, change your boss. Come out of your comfort zone." (31:32) "Everybody in our groups, we're all rooting for one another. We're all supporting one another because we know that whatever you're doing that helps fulfill you individually as a person, what you're helping to heal so many other people do the work that you're doing." (34:45) Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: "You don't have to have everything in place to get started when you do have to be clear on where your passion is and where you should start. Otherwise, it will all be unfinished projects." (18:36) "You gotta be coachable and teachable because like even in therapy: If you wanna continue seeing the client beyond the 15 or 25 sessions, you have to justify why the person goes beyond those sessions." (22:18) "I want therapists to hear: You have to show up like, honestly, the way you wanna get paid."

What do you do in your biz when social media shuts down? Surely a lot of us were affected during that October 4th outage, especially business owners who heavily rely on social media. In order for them to shift and pivot quickly, they should have the capability to execute a plan B. And that is vital in a critical scenario when there's a need to reach and deliver something to their audience. In this episode, Doctor TK takes us behind the scenes on how she had successfully managed to conduct her workshop despite the worldwide outage (that's happening in the middle of her launch!) on the platform where she's supposed to make the live workshop happen. --- Keep going for that 1% compounding effect.

(08:34) "Having the framework also helps me be confident in my delivery, and my practice and the services, how I show up on different platforms as well, to be able to know that I can get my client from point A to point B with no problem." (12:29) Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: "Connecting with them is one thing (...), but actually having them be your assigned therapist (...), you can just go to their websites (if they're online), and see either what one state or multiple states that clinician is licensed in because we have what's called ethical codes and we cannot, as therapists, see any clients that do not reside in the state that we're licensed in."

It is an essential skill to have a strong knowledge of your product. But in order to proceed with the growth and scaling stage of your business, it's equally important to devise a framework for every product you launch. What some therapists miss out on is they tend to release a course, a book, or a training program without poring over their ideal clients' needs.

People, customers, or consumers will buy what they feel like they need or use." (03:23) "Have you done your research; polled or surveyed your audience to determine if they want your product— if your [ideal clients] will pay for your product? And is it the right time for you to be launching your product?" (04:16) "This means that you wanna gain a better understanding of the need of your product and your ideal clients' need for that product before you spend your time and money developing an additional product or service. And you wanna be able to map out that product or service [at least the structure of it] from beginning to end." (05:09) "Can you scale your biz? YES. You can do it by decreasing the amount of hours that you work in your business with these systems in place and having a good grasp on the product and/or multiple product suites that you offer in your business. However, you will have to dedicate a certain amount of time per week [at least] of working ON your business." (12:56) "I also stopped trying to be everything to everyone.

Having an innate desire to bring her students together in person, Doctor TK decided to launch an event outside her state for the first time. However, inevitable challenges came up along the way. With only 2 out of 15 people who showed up for the event, how did it still turn out to be epic? "Sometimes when we wanna host our first event, we're so focused on making a grand entrance and making it super huge that we forget that we probably should start on a virtual space and then see what the need is before we start spending money and dedicating our time to marketing for an event that maybe people don't even want." In this episode, Doctor TK shares the transformation brought by that experience which later led to her becoming a bi-coastal biz coach, serving over a thousand therapists. --- You can get access to Doctor TK's Freebie Library at: https://bit.ly/39ptLnS Podcast Goals: Learn to overcome the adversities in your business by turning your focus on impact rather than numbers in order to recalibrate and make changes to enhance the outcome.

(04:51) "Sometimes when we wanna host our first event, we're so focused on making a grand entrance and making it super huge that we forget that we probably should start on Zoom— we should probably start online in a virtual space and then see what the need is before we start going out there, and of course, spending money and dedicating our time to marketing for an event that maybe people don't even want." (06:31) "At the end of the day, the two days were epic! It was my first time understanding the importance of bonding with my clients in person beyond the internet, and also allowing them to see one another together was like EPIC because these two students had known each other from that July cohort." (11:44) "What they realized is that they learned more hearing from each other's perspective because they were about 20+ years apart and they said that that was one of the benefits of having different levels of clinicians." (13:36) "I believe that I positioned not only my business to give more value to clinicians through CE events and live events whether it's virtual and/or in person, but I also showed these therapists that you definitely want to work on branding yourself and having an online presence because how our technology world is going, most people will depend on technology honestly to run their life and run their business."

And if the answer is no, you may still be in the beginning phases of your private practice, which is perfectly normal, but after 2 years which is the norm for a private practice— my hope is that you got it together. And if you don't, that simply means you've probably been using the same tools that you've been doing from day one and that's not helpful if you're trying to grow your practice, your business."

I always host either a webinar, a masterclass, a virtual party, whatever you wanna call it, or I will host a live event— and my goal is to transform your life when you show up. Transform your mindset and your business, when you show up even with free content." (09:34) "This is also why a lot of therapists that I meet in my programs are not able to really charge their value: Because they don't even understand their value with their expertise and they feel like they don't want to be salesy to a client. But I want you to reframe that: Are you being salesy? Or are you transforming someone's life, you're offering a solution to their problem, and they are investing in the solution so that they can maneuver through life more smoothly?" (10:27) "Your clinical license will not be enough for you to keep your doors open and have an abundance of overflow. You can't say, I mean you can say it, but it won't run your business for you to just operate and say, I'm a clinical psychologist, I'm a licensed social worker, that's not enough.

As life coaches gain influence and popularity on reality shows, the number of people seeking out mental health services has also been increasing. However, the general public may not have the proper resources to differentiate a therapist from a coach. And sometimes, therapists who offer coaching services are unsure whether to refer them for therapy or coaching. In this episode, Doctor TK addresses this commonly-asked question. Tune in as she gives a guide for mental health providers to set clear expectations between therapy and coaching, make the right decisions, and protect the clients' well-being. --- Take the first step to Manifest A Profitable Private Practice!

(02:33) 3 things that mental health providers should consider before accepting coaching clients (03:47) Clinicians are starting a coaching business because they think it's less restricted. How can they really have fewer restrictions and serve a wider range of clients? (07:23) Starting a coaching business also allows clinicians to serve clients globally. How can they make sure that their clients fall within the coaching category? (10:19) Therapists shouldn't default to coaching for financial reasons. Here's how you can learn more about having a profitable private practice. (12:30) Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: "Most therapists start a coaching business because they say that it's less restricted. But remember, restrictions were put in place, especially in therapy services, to protect the health and the mental health of our clients because what is the number one ethical code? Do no harm." (07:39) "When you're only chasing money and you're not chasing the change the impact, the transformation that you can make in the world, in the community that you serve, it's gonna be a lot harder for you to hit your goals; I'm not saying you're not gonna be successful, but you may not hit the level of success that you desire because chasing money gets tiring vs chasing impact—it has a different type of internal reward." (06:50) "Therapy is you walking the client through which strategies— their ability to open their baggage, process their baggage, forgive their baggage, and clear out their baggage as much as possible— so that they can be functional. Your goal is to get them functional." (08:17) "Coaching is to take that now functional person as 70 to 75 percent and help them start working toward their future goals." (09:08) "I would hope that you would use your expertise as a therapist to make a transformation, an impact in the world, versus defaulting into coaching services just for financial reasons."

(03:00) "I am a fast action taker. Anyone who knows me knows that when I have an idea, I act up on it, and I finish it. And it may not even be, for example, a stream of income that I'm still doing, but at least I can say that I tried it, or it didn't work because I didn't have the capacity." (11:04) "I also didn't understand the value of collecting testimonials— or requesting feedback forms from the agencies, from the participants, from the kids that I served— and developing all of these programs. I was literally sitting on a gold mine, and I didn't recognize it until later (...) when I hired a coach to help take me through my journey." (15:04) "Sometimes, what has to happen when you think you're hitting rock bottom is you may need to sit down, get quiet, and ask yourself and/or ask your Higher Power or this Universe, what needs to be your next move." (16:28) "Sometimes when you take a detour from what was on your vision board, you end up exactly where you're supposed to be, when you're supposed to be there." (20:06) I would honestly have my students make a vision board (...) so that when they're learning the materials in class, they can see that this is another seed that is planted for them to get closer to the person on that vision board. (24:26) "It would not be in service to me if I know that my Higher Power has given me— the gift to teach, to make relationships with people, to like to throw and host parties and live events— I would actually be disrespectful if I throw away that gift."

Play therapy provides a safe space for children to express their emotions, improve communication, and develop problem-solving skills. However, kids coming from diverse backgrounds may only have access to the tools that fail to represent their outward appearance and feelings. This inspired James to launch a variety of products that support all ages in identifying a range of emotions while promoting self-awareness, and encouraging continuous exposure to other languages. Join us in today's episode as Doctor TK and James review the lack of clinically appropriate play therapy tools for children of color, followed by ways to address this issue. James also shares how his schedule has improved after scaling his business and the huge impact of having accountability partners. --- Take the first step to Manifest A Profitable Private Practice!

(12:48) I want to continue on this path of expanding our sense of identity and connecting to these cultures (...) so that we can continue to develop and remain curious about who we are as individuals and our identity. (15:13) "It's really just looking at time differently, creating that vision for oneself, and maintaining a relationship with that vision. Don't just put it on the side." (26:13) Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: "I'm just putting a tip out there for our students and clinicians that if you're on a site and what you're doing and the tools that you have if they don't really resonate with your clients so that it can trigger them to become vulnerable when they open up and talk about their emotions, you actually need to say something." (13:13) "One thing that I wanna sum up with circles of influence is that it's okay to have multiple accountability partners who serve different roles in your life."

Saying no to any type of client was particularly hard for Christy in the beginning. This also holds true for many therapists especially in the midst of the pandemic when there's an urgent need to get therapy. However, the lack of niche and attention to the back office of one's business won't bring about a thriving private practice. In this episode, Christy and Doctor TK talk through the ethical processes of therapy related to serving identified clients and creating waitlists. Christy also shared some of the big wins in her private practice after she had successfully broken her agency mindset and started tracking her numbers. --- Take the first step to Manifest A Profitable Private Practice!

But if not, let me refer you to somebody else that can help you because I don't have to be all things to all people." (22:19) "If you are in a place where you just don't have peace of mind, then therapy is the right place to start." (27:56) Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: "You're very unto something if you sometimes, not in all cases, feel like you're actually seeing the wrong client.

(13:04) "I just wanna give a disclaimer to therapists that you need to pay attention — or I suggest that you pay attention to your numbers — how many phone calls you get per week, and the comparison to how we were last year at this time because the fact is people are going back to work, kids are back in school, and so the level of urgency may not be as present as it was 12 months ago, specifically because people are moving back to their new norm."

And when they bring it up, we walk through that door together. And so I try to create a zone where there's no judgment, and as they walk into that door, whether they are the LGBTQ+ community or they are different religion from what I practice, the first environment I create is that emotionally safe environment." (08:23) "And so because I've given them the information, and again we're having conversations together as counseling, I've not had a client yet who stopped before their EAP sessions were over." (16:56) "When I started this whole process with you, I would've been just like, oh okay that's a number? Oh okay. I didn't even know what that meant but okay. But now I understand the numbers behind the numbers. I understand where I got the number. I understand the importance of knowing my numbers. I even understand the importance of knowing where my referrals are coming from." (25:13) Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: "On the therapist's side, you do wanna set up boundaries with any entity, organization, or community setting that you are always involved in so that if someone does come to seek you up for counseling, you have to decide how those boundaries are going to be set up and communicate that to the potential client. Then on the client's side, recognize and respect the boundary." (11:42) "Clients, as Dr. Tracy is saying, you can actually go talk to your employer and find out about your EAP services, how many sessions you got, what's the name of the panel, and take that back to the therapist and say hey, I have EAP, do you take this panel? Would you mind getting on it? It's a lot of us that want therapy."
