Well, I remember all of those things all too well. I was juggling a practice, struggling with managing and figuring out the finances element, at capacity and needing to expand, managing a waitlist, trying to figure out how to hire people that actually jived with me and the vision of the practice, and actually run the day to day business things, all while seeing a full client load. It was A LOT! 

I was desperately looking around me for someone that I knew, or someone that I could connect with that was doing what I was doing and what I wanted to do and I ran into nothing. There wasn’t anyone in my sphere who was doing what I wanted to do. I had one person in my life who had grown a practice more than two decades prior, and one person who had gone from a solo practitioner to a small group practice. That was it. Two people. I had no one else who’s brain worked similarly - hello ADHD - and who wanted to do more than psychotherapy. Don’t get me wrong, I love psychotherapy, but with the way that I’m wired it wasn’t enough to do 1:1 client work forever. I needed something to spark me and feed more of my passions. 

I was looking for someone who had been there and done that, who knew what it was like to do it in today’s economy with today’s challenges. I finally found someone who I loved. The coach was a game changer for me, and helped me put a ton of systems in place and really keep me focused on my goals. The only challenge I found was that they were located out of country, and some of the laws, systems and college stipulations are completely different so I still had to figure out those hurdles. 

So if you’re looking for someone who’s been there, had to figure it out, loves to think outside the box and really cater things specifically to you, you’ve come to the right place. I have invested thousands of hours, tens of thousands of dollars, and more energy than I can quantify over the last 10 years to get to where I am now. It has been a really long, and hard road and I can truthfully tell you there have been many times where I’ve wanted to quit, sell everything and go live in a van. I know though that I’m being reactive in those moments and that I need to calm the fuck down and breathe. With all of that, if you’re looking for a quick fix or fast passive income, I’m not your girl. I don’t really think there is such a thing as passive income in our industry, there is always work that is going into it to create it, and then adapt and change it, perfect it over time. It isn’t a one and done thing. If you know of one that is, then please let me know, I’d love to hear about it.
