The Most Important Marketing Strategy (It Doesn’t Require Social Media)
Rebel Therapist
Today I’m talking about the most effective way to fill a signature program beyond private practice: Creating and nurturing Ideal Referral Partnerships. If I were to coach my clients to do only ONE kind of marketing, this would be it. Another word for this is networking. You’re probably already doing this, but you might not be doing it very strategically. When I meet someone who says they don’t do any marketing, but they’ve got customers or clients, I know they HAVE been marketing. They just didn’t see their behavior as marketing. I often find out that the marketing they’ve been...

No trigger warning necessary. I’m sharing this because I know many of you are really afraid of getting an email like this.

A Program Based On Art Journaling With Lea Seigen Shinraku
Rebel Therapist
Lea had been helping people with self-compassion for years, but when she started using art journaling in her program, it came together in a more powerful way. Now she teaches art journaling in every session of her signature program, Everyday Self-Compassion. Once she integrated this practice into her program, she fell even more in love with her work. She’s got a feeling of presence, joy and even goofiness. I deeply resonate with the need to feel like my full self as I do my work. How about you? You’re about to hear how she transformed her program over the last several years, why she loves...

Rebel Therapist

Let’s say you’re excited to run a signature program beyond your private practice, and you know you want it to be a small group. I relate. I LOVE running groups.

A sense of accountability is often bigger in a group. Groups give you energy. You’re gifted at running groups. In a group, you get the richness of discussion. ...

Don’t Double Your Therapy Sessions
Rebel Therapist
Maybe you plan to double or significantly increase your income this year. If you’re in private practice, you might look at the numbers and think you should double your sessions. And you totally could. People are out there looking for a therapist exactly like you. You might feel like adding sessions is your ONLY option to increase your revenue. That’s not true. You’ve got other options. Check in and be honest with yourself. Will adding to your client load exhaust you or head you towards burnout? If you’re already seeing 12 clients or 15 clients and you’re starting to feel a bit of...

How I Shrunk My Therapy Practice And Built A Signature Coaching Program with Samantha Fox
Rebel Therapist
Samantha has shrunk her therapy practice way down and is no longer taking new therapy clients. She’s delighted that her business has transitioned to mostly her coaching programs. She’s found that she’s got abundant energy and love for serving in this way. AND…Samantha has discovered that even the free stuff she provides on social media and on her site helps many queer women live truer lives. That’s just ONE of the ways that the work she’s doing now is a much better fit for her life than a full time therapy practice was. As a sexuality coach, Samantha Fox works with women worldwide...
info_outlineThis week I’m talking to Janelle Allen, an online instructional designer turned marketing expert.
Janelle is a business rock star, but she's willing to talk about her inner resistance.
Inner resistance is HUGE for us as entrepreneurs.
I find this reassuring, because it's my truth. I'm dealing with my own growth edge in my business. I'm committed to reaching more people who need the kind of help I can offer.
That means reaching more visionary therapists and healers. Right now, that means I'm reaching out to a lot of podcast hosts and asking them if they'd like to have me on as a guest. I pretty much always feel like being a guest on a podcast, but I pretty much never feel like making that ask. Still, I'm doing it, week after week, because I decided to. It's worth working through my resistance. The obvious benefit is that I'm showing up on more podcasts. The side benefit is that as I follow through with this, my trust in myself grows. And as I trust myself more, and grow my capacity for discomfort, I'm a more resilient business owner.
As you listen to my conversation with Janelle, I want to encourage you to think about what inner resistance you're experiencing.
What is the hard thing you're avoiding?
What are you doing even though it's hard?
Here's some of what we talked about:
- How she helps entrepreneurs with their marketing
- Facing her own resistance in one area of her own marketing: YouTube videos!
- How her own therapy has helped her as an entrepreneur
- How she spends her marketing time
- Streamlining her business down to 2 offers
- The best way to get started growing your email list
- The hardest thing about group programs
- What she added to her group programs to increase engagement and results
- Why habits and mindset are the most important indicators of success
- Delegating in order to grow
- Why "business problems are personal problems."
- How she organizes her week with block scheduling and theme days
