10 Actions To Go From 0 To 50 Thousand In Your Counseling Private Practice | Episode 23

Welcome to A Counselors Journey To Private Practice. I'm your host, Juan.
In this episode, we cover Actions To Take To Go From 0 To 50 Thousand In Your Counseling Private Practice. Here are the key takeaways:

• Referral partners. Build relationships that support your counseling in private practice. If you work with kids, then your referring partner is probably a pediatrician.
• Focus on 1 to 3 social media platforms. At the beginning of building your private practice, take time to narrow your efforts versus spreading yourself thin in every social media platform.
• Pick one nitch that gives you space to expand on it. This way you are the to-go-to person for the areas of focus. As an example, select to be the person to go to for relationship counseling. Additional services you can provide can include marriage preparation, dating support, and so forth. Overall, the services are under the umbrella of the nitch.
• Consistency. Your practice will more than likely not be successful overnight. Small business has a large margin of failure. This is why it's important to be consistent. TO stick to a schedule that holds you accountable and aims to produce results.
• Return on Investment. Each month take time to evaluate what you are doing in your practice to ensure that the actions connect to a strong return. If you are spending time writing blogs, are the blogs producing a return? If not, time to make a change.
• Create systems. A business that is successful should be easy to replicate. Consider the franchise McDonalds. It's built on a system that gives new owners the opportunities to set up shop and reach success in little to no time. This is due to the systems that are in play. In your private practice, take time to have a structured system for areas that include but not limited to intake calls, scheduling, and more.
• Show up. Consider where your ideal client spends time. If you are a counselor that helps struggling parents, you may find yourself spending time on a Facebook group that is for parents. Show up in the group, be supportive, listen, and build relationships.
• Seek consultation. Thousands of professionals have taken a very similar journey to the one that you are in. Yours may have its creative edges. Yet, asking for help can provide amazing results. I've found myself countless times working with consultants or taking courses that sharpen my skills. I encourage you to do the same.
