Introducing My Own CEO Squad
Pursuing Private Practice
09/05/23 • 42 min
Join Jennifer & her CEO Squad for an honest & authentic conversation as they wrap up their mastermind week in Lake Michigan. They each reflect on what they learned & share key takeaways to help inspire you as the CEO of your business.
Join the conversation as they discuss:
- Reflecting Before Deciding: CEOs should reflect on their business before important meetings. This practice offers valuable insights, helps in making clear decisions, enhances marketing efforts, and fosters a stronger connection to the brand's messaging.
- Reclaiming Sales Voice: Return to the core voice of the business and work diligently to serve each customer. Step back and learn from experiences..
- Taking Time and Space: CEOs should allocate time and space to step away from the daily tasks of the business. This enables them to work on the business itself, gain perspective, and focus on strategic thinking.
- Trusting Your Gut: Trusting intuition is key. If something feels off, it's essential to address it promptly.
- Peer Interactions: Engaging with peers from diverse industries is incredibly valuable. It provides opportunities to receive feedback, gain fresh perspectives, and builds trust.
- Honest Feedback and Humility: Be open to honest feedback and maintain humility. Recognize that boundaries can evolve, affecting your offerings and operations.
- Increased Productivity: After coaching sessions, CEOs can become significantly more productive, with clarity often leading to action.
- Embracing Failure: It's okay to 'fail'; it's how we learn and grow. Balancing growth involves both successes and failures.
The key to being a successful CEO involves resourcefulness, self-reflection, trusting one's instincts, seeking peer feedback, embracing change, and learning from both successes and 'failures'.
Cheers to you, the CEO!

- Stages of Business: Business ownership involves distinct stages, each with its own financial dynamics. Solopreneurs, small group practices, and large group practices have varying approaches to paying themselves and managing their businesses. Understanding these stages and their financial needs is crucial.
- Niche Focus and Streamlining: Working within a niche and creating a repeatable, streamlined business model can lead to success. The owner's experience underscores the benefits of focusing on a specific market or service and avoiding the constant reinvention of the business model.
- Adaptability and Data Analysis: The ability to adapt and make data-driven decisions is vital for sustainable business growth. Business owners should not shy away from looking at financial data and should be open to evolving and adapting their practices as circumstances change.
- Investing in Growth and Balance: To achieve long-term success, business owners should invest in both personal and business growth. It's important to find a balance that aligns with their financial and lifestyle goals, ensuring that the business serves their needs and is sustainable in the long run.
Remember, your decisions are not set in stone. You can evolve and adapt as your private practice and profit grows.

Money Skills with Linzy Bonham
Pursuing Private Practice
11/21/23 • 38 min
Welcome to the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast!
Join Jennifer & fellow CEO Linzy Bonham of Money Nuts and Bolts as they dive into the emotional aspects of our relationships with money, how money acts as a boundary in your business, and how finances are different for each stage of business.
Join the conversation as they discuss:
- Relationship with Money: Money is not just about numbers and data but also about the emotional relationship we have with it. Money is a means of exchange that's deeply interconnected with our lives and is an unavoidable part of our existence. It's crucial to understand one's relationship with money, including the emotions, stories, baggage, shame, and trauma associated with it.
- Stages of Business: Different stages of business have different financial needs and complexities. Starting with a solo practice requires creating structure and clarity for the money management foundation. As your practice grows, you should be flexible and curious, adjusting your systems as needed.
- Money as a Boundary: Money serves as a boundary in professional relationships, including raising rates and making changes to your service offerings. Understanding your boundaries and making changes to them is vital for maintaining a healthy therapeutic relationship. Boundaries can shift as you move through different chapters of your career. It's essential to adapt to these changes and own the phase you're in.
- Cancellations Fees: Maintaining reliability with clients, including adhering to cancellation fees and being in touch with your changing boundaries, is essential for a productive and respectful clinician-client relationship.
Money is not just about numbers; it's also tied to our emotions and life experiences. Your financial needs change as your business grows, and it's crucial to adapt your money strategies & boundaries accordingly.
Linzy Bonham is a private practice therapist turned money coach who helps private practice owners and health professionals feel calm and in control of their finances through her coaching at Money Nuts & Bolts and her podcast Money Skills for Therapists. It all started when she saw her extremely skilled colleagues struggle with the money side of business. Some had even left private practice or were avoiding starting one because the financial side was too stressful. So Linzy decided to help therapists and health professionals develop peace of mind about their money. Since so many were never taught these skills, she focuses on the “how” of making the business side of private practice doable, and even super satisfying.

Welcome to the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast!

Join the conversation as they discuss:
- Finances Throughout Business Stages: Recognize that finances play a crucial role in every stage of a business. While core financial concepts remain consistent (income, expenses, profit, taxes, mindset), the specific recommendations for handling finances differ based on the stage of the business.
- Overcoming the Money Story: Discussing finances can be challenging due to the personal relationship many individuals have with money. Just as some clients struggle with discussing weight or mental health, there can be a sense of shame around financial imperfections. However, opening up about these issues can lead to greater empowerment.
- Money as a Boundary: Money is a boundary that should evolve just like any other aspect of a business. It's essential to adapt and improve financial strategies over time to support business growth and personal well-being.
- Mistakes in Handling Finances: There are some common financial mistakes made by professionals at different business stages. These include merging personal and business finances, neglecting estimated quarterly taxes, making hasty hiring decisions, and scaling too quickly without increasing revenue. Each stage presents unique challenges.
In the episode, Jennifer & Danielle also touch on intuition and its role in financial decisions, discuss the potential downsides of disclosing revenue online and reflect on the state of the business coaching industry.

Expanding Outside of 1:1 Work with Melvin Varghese
Pursuing Private Practice
10/17/23 • 46 min
Welcome to the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast!
From 1:1 clinical work to online course creation and podcasting, join Jennifer and follow CEO Melvin Varghese of Selling the Couch as they discuss the journey of expanding beyond 1:1 offers in private practice. This episode emphasizes the importance of adaptability, perseverance, and a growth mindset when transitioning from a 'traditional' private practice to the world of online course creation.
Join the conversation as they discuss:
- Transitioning from 1:1 to Scalable Offerings: The transition from traditional 1:1 therapy to scalable online course creation requires a solid foundation and can be challenging, but it offers the potential to share your message with a larger audience and increase revenue.
- Online Course Creation: Online courses don't need to be overly fancy; the focus should be on the quality of teaching and validating course ideas to ensure they align with what people want. Remember, "Passive income" in online courses doesn't mean zero effort; it involves creating systems for marketing that compound over time. Online courses can be valuable assets to your business.
- Persistence and Sacrifice: Success in online business doesn't happen overnight but through years of hard work, persistence, and support. Behind the scenes, there are often significant sacrifices that contribute to success.
- Adapting to Change: Your courses and offerings should evolve as the market, clients, and your own business goals change. Being open to feedback and making necessary adjustments is crucial.
- Mindset Work: Overcoming mental challenges related to pricing and self-worth is a significant aspect of entrepreneurship. Seek support and address personal issues to build confidence and resilience.
- Defining Success: Success in business can be defined beyond just revenue. It can involve reevaluating priorities, focusing on family, health, and well-being, and designing a business around the life you want to lead.
