I interview Rebel Therapists who are already doing work beyond the therapy room, from running workshops to writing books to creating online courses. You'll hear about how they created their unique businesses, the mindset work they've done, and the mistakes they've made along the way.

What You're Known For With Sarah Argenal 09/10/2019

What You're Known For With Sarah Argenal Sarah Argenal is on a mission to eradicate the burnout epidemic that is crushing working parents. She offers programs to individuals and organizations to integrate mental and emotional support for parents in the workplace. She walks parents through a 4 step framework to craft a life. I see a theme here that I want you to pay close attention to. Sarah's 4 part framework is something that she has created and nurtured, and it's something she is becoming known for. Having a framework you can use to help you describe your work AND help people is a huge asset. It's your message AND it's your way of serving. Sarah didn't just stumble on this 4 part framework. She discovered and created it through observing herself and the thousands of parents she talked to. Now she's able to use that framework everywhere. She talks about it in podcast episodes. She talks about it in public speaking. She teaches it in workshops. She uses it in all of her content. She goes deep into one of the steps at times, and she sometimes gives an overview of all 4. This is an asset that she can build her business around. Listen to how Sarah is leveraging this asset. An asset like this can't be rushed. But time and energy you put into creating it is well invested. My business has doubled since I discovered and began to nurture my Rebel Therapist™ brand. It's what I'm becoming known for. When I think about the individual rebels I work with, I see that they hit that hockey stick on the growth chart when they get clear on their message and what they want to be known for. Sarah shares a lot of gems in this interview, but if you remember ONE thing, remember what she has to say about finding the work and message she wants to be known for. Topics Discussed In This Episode: Why she focuses on helping working parents recover from burnout Having 2 tracks to her business: private work with parents and work with organizations How she customizes her 4-step framework for many different contexts Deciding to be known for one thing How she structures her online coaching program Creating workbooks to use within her program Using voxer as an extra support in her coaching How Annie and Sarah both manage time around between session support How she brings in private clients and how she brings in organizational clients Creating several different free offers and a marketing ecosystem Her advice for her former self Just in time learning rather than just in case learning Show notes at http://rebeltherapist.me/podcast/107 /episode/index/show/therapistclubhouse/id/11170013

Pricing Your Genius With Jacquette Timmons 08/27/2019

Pricing Your Genius With Jacquette Timmons THIS WEEK: This week I’m featuring Jacquette Timmons, a financial behaviorist in New York City. We focused on two areas: how she prices her offerings and how she builds and nurtures her audience. If you're working on expanding your business beyond the therapy room, those are two areas you know require a lot of thought and attention. If you don't pay attention to them, your business can't thrive, even if your work is amazing. As we get into pricing, listen for how Jacquette combines trial and error with a careful process. She factors in everything including her expenses, what the outcomes are that she's providing, the value her clients place on that outcome, the time and energy the offer requires, and more. AND like I said, she allows for trial and error. You may think being methodical and using trial and error are mutually exclusive. Nope. Like Jacquette, I always leave room for experimentation. The first time I ran what is now Rebel Therapist, the cost was 1400, it happened over 8 sessions, and I had 3 amazing participants all who I'd worked with before. Now the program is in a different iteration. It's a 2-day workshop, 4 and a half hours each day, and the fee as of this recording is 1000. Different format, different price. And that price will likely go up. You'll also hear how Jacqette builds and nurtures her audience. She has remained steadfast in her message and her mission even when others weren't ready to hear it. As a therapist moving your work beyond the therapy room, she's talking right to you. As she talks about staying steadfast in her message, think about what the messages you want to share. Is there something edgy that you find not everyone is ready to hear? Listen to Jacquette's experience with this. Another thing that stands out about how Jacquette builds and nurtures her audience is that she's not afraid to go deep. Rather than doing what everyone else seems to be doing, she has gone for depth. Her free content isn't quick or superficial. It takes a minute, and that has paid off. As you listen, think about how that might work for you in the business you build beyond the therapy room. How can you create content that is truly valuable and engaging? Topics Discussed In This Episode: Why managing money is really about managing choices The combination fo services she offers, including private and corporate work Hosting The Comfort Circle™ Diners Why she doesn't believe in charging "what you're worth" How she chooses her prices How she builds her audience by showing up consistently Staying steadfast with her message even when it was unpopular Going deep with her free content How she creates synergy with all of her content marketing Starting her podcast, More Than Money Two pieces of advice for her former self Show notes at http://rebeltherapist.me/podcast/106 /episode/index/show/therapistclubhouse/id/10990328

You’re An Entrepreneur With Annie Schuessler 01/29/2019

You’re An Entrepreneur With Annie Schuessler When you embrace your role of entrepreneur, you can open up to ideas that may bring you much more money, freedom, and fulfillment. Listen as I go over my favorite three concepts that empowered entrepreneurs use to create and run their businesses. If you own your own business, you already ARE an entrepreneur, but you may not think of yourself that way. Here are 3 concepts to integrate into your ways of doing business. Concept One: Rock Your Business Model What it means: Your Business Model is the combination of offerings you get paid for in your business. (Not to be confused with a Business Plan.) How you can start using this concept: Brainstorm what kinds of offers you might want to add to your business. Start with this list: Workshop, Online course, Group coaching program, Individual coaching program, Digital product, Group therapy program, Membership community, Retreat, Group practice or therapy center, Something else you’ll cook up. Concept Two: Test Ideas Early What it means: Before you invest a ton of time, money or energy into an idea, even if it seems like a GREAT idea, you should test it. Create a minimum viable product or minimum viable service. See if anyone wants it, get feedback so you can improve it, and then create the next iteration. Creating an offer is always an iterative process. How you can start using this concept: Let’s say you want to create a multi-lesson course with curriculum. Start by running a workshop and teaching only part of the material. Teach it live. Sell it to a small number of people. Notice what works, ask for feedback, and see whether people get the outcome you were hoping they’d get. If you can’t sell it to anyone, you know you’ve got to make some adjustments and then try again. Concept Three: Have A Content Strategy What it means: Your content is the stuff you create: articles, social media posts, videos, podcast episodes, insta stories, all of it. Content strategy means having a goal for what you want your content to achieve and a plan that informs what you create, where you deliver it and when you offer it. How you can start using this concept: Decide who your content is for and what you want them to do (which involves paying you). Create the form of content that comes most easily to you. Brainstorm all of the things your future client or customer needs to hear in order to be ready to take action. Start creating content!
