Every therapist wants to know:
“Okay, but how long will it actually take for me to get to a Life First Fee?”
You want to know how long until you can stop drowning in insurance, stop resenting your caseload, stop working like hell for bread-crumb money…
and finally have a practice where you work your ideal number of weekly clients — while earning the income you actually need to live.
And Tiffany’s answer is the one therapists don’t want to hear — but need to:
There is no timeline. And also… the timeline doesn’t matter.
In this episode, Tiffany dismantles the fantasy that someone else can predict your speed. She walks you through why some therapists hit their Life First Fee in 30 days, while others take 4 months, 9 months, or 4 years — and why every version is worth it.
She also uses a powerful cave metaphor to illustrate exactly why the journey is different for every therapist — and why what happens inside the cave is actually what transforms you.
In this episode, Tiffany reveals:
-
Why the question “How long will it take?” is rooted in scarcity, fear, and disbelief;
-
What hundreds of LIM data points show about how long it takes to book a Life First Fee client;
-
Why therapists like Sarah doubled their revenue and bought a house in four months — and why that’s not the point;
-
How your “lion,” your “tin foil,” and your “pitfall” shape your exact timeline;
-
Why the journey itself is what creates the confidence, self-trust, and skill set you use for the rest of your career;
-
Why 2 years of transformation is a blink compared to spending 20 more years undercharging and burning out.
This episode will snap you out of your timeline obsession and into the truth: the work is worth it, no matter how long it takes.
If you're ready to walk into the cave — even if you're scared — email Tiffany at tiffany@leaninmakebank.com with the word “Cave.”
She’ll take the first step with you.
