Whether you’re a planner, or someone who likes to figure things out as you go, this episode is for you. In today’s episode, I’ll share 5 clarifying questions that can help guide your success in 2024. Taking the time to think through each of them will set the stage for the work you want to do in 2024. If you’re more of a big picture kind of person, this will give you a general framework to work within for the whole year. But even better - your answers to these questions can also set the stage for specific goals you want to reach, specific strategies you might want to employ, and specific ways you want your practice to grow next year. Although the questions themselves seem simple, the answers you come up with are important. So do take the time to think about this carefully. And if you’ll send me an email, I’d love to hear what you come up with! ~Wendy xoxo P.S. Don’t miss the news I shared at the end of the episode.

So here’s the thing. Building an Ideal Practice(c) doesn’t happen by accident; it requires a lot of thought, self-awareness, courage and clarity.

In an obvious nod to Halloween, I thought it was a great time to revisit one of my most popular episodes. So today, let’s take another look at the 7 most common fears that healers tend to face in private practice. Although we all want what’s best for our clients, we are often shamed or judged when we want what’s best for ourselves. That sets us up for all kinds of internal conflict, and that can block our success. On the other hand, when we find our way through and beyond those fears, real freedom is on the other side. So that’s what we’re diving into today. Which one (or three) of these do you relate to the most? Send me an email at wendy@wendypittsreeves.com and let me know. I promise to respond personally, and I’d love to hear! ~Wendy Xoxo P.S.

One of the greatest benefits of owning your own business is that you have the freedom and flexibility to adjust as needed when life gets a little crazy. But running a practice can also be especially challenging when the hard times happen. How do you keep things going when you’re being pulled in too many directions? Well, I’ve been through some of that myself lately (and not for the first time), so I thought I’d share a few tips with you. In this episode, we’ll talk about how to prepare for those inevitable moments when life gets in the way: financially, emotionally, and even physically. But I’ve also got a few reminders of important things to remember when you aren’t prepared at all, and you’re just doing the best you can to get through. It’s been a little like that lately for me, which has reminded me how important this is. I hope some of these tips will make a similar period easier for you. Take good care, ~Wendy Xoxo P.S.

When you set up your physical office space, I’ll bet you were super excited - and thoughtful - about every detail. Where would your clients want to sit, facing the window or facing the door? Where should you put the Kleenex box? Do they need a footstool or is that just weird, lol? But what about your VIRTUAL office space? Have you ever wondered how to help your clients feel as comfortable online as they would be if they were meeting with you in person? (I’m asking because in my experience, too many practitioners tend to overlook this part of their practice set up - which makes me sad, lol.)

Ever felt that you're just not getting paid what you're worth, despite having real expertise in your field? We've all been there, I suspect - but why? Where does this common problem come from?

So, let’s take a closer look at what my guest last week, Ryane LeCesne, called the “personal confidence gap”, and see if we can flip this.

What's lurking in your subconscious, subtly sabotaging your success? All too often, high-achieving practice owners (like YOU!) hold themselves back due to limiting beliefs like imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and something my guest this week calls “distractionism’. So it was a real treat when I got to spend time with mindset master and achievement accelerator, Ryan LeCesne who can help all of us with this. She has spent nearly a decade helping others conquer these self-limiting beliefs, and tap into their full potential. And she has wisdom to share that you and I both need to hear.

Like it or not, money is part of every relationship you have with your clients, and how you think about that and manage that is important. But if you're torn up inside about that fact, well - you are not alone. In fact, I think most of us struggle about this in one way or another. But what if we change that? What if we thought about money, and its place in our work, in a whole new way? Rather than fight its presence, why don’t we acknowledge it, embrace it, and learn how to work with it? That’s the beginning of what it means to create a practice that is profit centered, but people forward. And that’s what I want to explore in this week’s podcast.

If a client cancels at the last minute, or worse, doesn’t show up at all - it doesn’t feel so great, does it? And even when you understand why they had to miss, you can still be left feeling frustration, disappointment - or, if it happens often, even resentment. And I know that's not how you WANT to feel about your work, or your client. So what do you do? Do you charge them for that time? If so, how much, and how do you collect it? I know this is tricky for a lot of you, so I’m going to walk you through potential strategies and options to manage those late cancellations in a way that honors the client and yourself, and protects your relationship.

Would you like to hear some of the secrets behind a thriving private practice? That’s what you’ll get in today’s episode. When I started my private practice, I had a strong, clear and powerful vision for what I wanted to build. That, I now know, was a key driver in my success. I’ll tell you more about what that vision was and how it guided every decision I made. (This is so important.) But we won’t stop there. I’ll also revel several other core strategies that I know contributed to the success of my practice. In this episode, you’ll hear: 1. How I built a brand totally by accident. 😜 2. About one strategy that I really had to push my little introvert heart to use - and how it paid off. 3. The most powerful action of all that I know helped us earn our place as a respected community resource. And there’s lots more. Every one of these helped me get my business off the ground even when it was just me, AND as I built a successful group practice with more business than we could manage. Which one of these stands out for you? Which one of these are you using, or plan to START using, in your practice? Shoot me a DM or an email and let me know. And enjoy! ~Wendy xoxo P.S. “Well that was encouraging, Wendy…” If that’s what you find yourself saying as you listen, would you please share a little love with a 5 star review and a few words over on Apple Podcasts or Spotify? _______________ FREE RESOURCE: Are you cramming client hours into a packed day?

Whooo boy. Sometimes, it’s a miracle this business of mine ever worked…. but it did, in SPITE of what I’m going to share with you today, lol. When I started my practice, I had to figure out everything on my own. With no such thing as coaches, masterminds, online courses, or even a business class in grad school, no one taught me how to run a business. Looking back, I can see at least 7 big mistakes I made, and not surprisingly - they were ALL about how I handled the money. Sharing those with you today. In this episode, you’ll hear: …most of all, why understanding how to handle the money side of things is vital to the success of your practice. My hope is that by sharing my experiences and a few hard-learned lessons, you can avoid some of the pitfalls that I fell into. ~Wendy xoxo P.S.
