Read this in twenty minutes or less and pick one idea.
I've been working on something for you.
It's a guide called 45 Ways to Grow Your Income in Private Practice, its in the private practice success group. Try it £7/$9 a month- cancel anytime
Forty-five practical ideas that I have used myself, grouped into nine areas, each with a real example in pounds and three first steps to get you moving. Some of them are quick wins you could do this week. Some need a bit of planning. A handful are proper projects.
🛑 Before you open it, a warning.
I've watched a lot of counsellors read something like this, get really excited, start six things and finish none of them. I've done it myself. So please don't read all forty-five and then put it in a drawer. And please don't try to do ten.
👉 Here's what I'd like you to do instead.
🫖 Put the kettle on and give it twenty minutes. Skim the contents page, read the ideas that catch your eye, and cross out the ones that make you think "absolutely not" (there will be some; that's fine- it's a toolbox, not a to-do list).
🥇 Then pick one. Just one.
Something you can actually start before the end of September. That gives you three weeks, which is plenty for a quick win and enough to make a proper start on something bigger.
Whichever it is, the smaller the first step, the more likely you'll take it.
Done is better than perfect.
Now the bit that makes the difference. Tell us which one you've picked in the comments. Just the number and a line on why. Saying it out loud (well, typing it) makes it real, and it means I can point you to anyone else in here who's done the same thing.
I'll come back at the end of the month and ask how it went. No pressure, no guilt. Just a nudge.
Have a go.
Martin
