Well, Happy New Year, everyone! 🥳

As we say goodbye to the year that has been, and step forward into who we are becoming, I wanted to share a bit of inspiration with you.

(Someone special once shared this with me at a time when I really needed it, and I’ve been passing it along ever since.)

Here’s the thing.

If you’re going through some kind of challenge, or find yourself in the midst of some discomfort, it may be that things are just changing for you.

And maybe that’s actually a good thing.

But even if that’s the case - we don’t always like it so much.

Because we can see that the old way is coming to an end, but the new way isn’t quite clear yet.

And we don’t like that so much either - so we move into action. Or distraction. Or anything we can do to get past that in-between time of not knowing…

Don’t do that. 🛑

Be present with the discomfort of change for a while.

You need that before you can grow into the next stage - and the little gift that I have for you today will explain what I mean. :)

I hope it brings you the same comfort and guidance that it’s brought to me many, many times over the years. (And if it resonates, I’ll tell you how to download a copy of your own so that you can call on it anytime you need it going forward.)

Wherever you are today, I hope you are being kind to yourself, and I hope that you’re surrounded by the people that you love.

I can’t wait to catch up with you again in the new year.

Here’s to what’s next! 🥂

~Wendy

P.S. What changes are you in the middle of??? Hit reply or shoot me an email and share your story. I’d love to hear. Thank you! 🙏

She is also the visionary behind Crown Yourself, a coaching company that helps business owners with their money, mindset, visibility, and strategy.

• A genius way of serving those who can’t afford you, without sacrificing your time, money, or standards.

The end of 2024 is fast approaching, my friends - but we’re not done just yet!

Today, I’m inviting you to take some time to reflect on all that you’ve accomplished over the past 12 months.

And I don’t want you to blow this off…

Because here’s the thing:

Learning how to recognize and honor your ongoing growth and evolution as a practice owner is essential if you want to keep moving forward.

So today, I’ve got a great exercise to share to help you do just that.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• 10 powerful - and surprising - questions to ask yourself at the end of the year (to get clarity on exactly how much progress you’ve really made).
• Why entrepreneurs are typically too hard on themselves (and how you change that behavior, starting now!).
• How to recognize the signs of personal growth (because what happens outside of your business is just as critical to your success!).

To make this even easier for you, I’ve created a free PDF download that you can grab right here.

So, give this episode a listen, then carve out some space in your calendar. Find a quiet corner and spend some time with these 10 questions.

Because I think you’ll see that you are evolving just as you should be.

And friend, you’re doing better than you know. 🥰

~Wendy

P.S. If you’re enjoying the podcast (as many of you tell me you are), could you help me spread the word? Are there two friends or colleagues you know who could really use a boost of encouragement this week? Why not share this episode with them? In fact - the 3 of you could grab a coffee and SHARE your answers to these 10 powerful questions. Wouldn’t that be fun?

Try it. I bet they’ll thank you. :)

Well, it’s that time, folks. The year is drawing to a close, things are winding down, and it's almost time for the holidays. 🌲🧑‍🎄

As you look back on 2024, what comes up for you?

Did you hit the income goals you set for your practice this year? If so, that’s fantastic and I am so excited for you!

But if not, you may feel like you’ve hit some kind of income ceiling, or that you’re maxed out on time and clients and there’s just nothing else you can do.

Well, today we are going to rewrite that story, because here’s the thing …

Your income is only limited by your imagination. Nothing else.

So today, I’m going to walk you through 5 specific ways you can boost your income in the next year (or even in the next week if you want to!).

You’ll hear:

• The easiest (and fastest!) way to boost cash flow, right now.
• A simple task that can reconnect you with old clients and bring them back to your practice (while helping you to build trust and loyalty at the same time!)
• A brilliant hack to up your networking game (that’s perfect for introverts!)
• Some very cool and creative ways to serve your clients next year.

I also have a little gift for you …

I put together an ebook called 31 Practical Ways to Increase Cash Flow in Your Private Practice. It’s completely free and you can grab it here - https://www.wendypittsreeves.com/cashflow,

BUT it only works if you do.

So, go ahead, download it and then drop me a message telling me which one you’re going to take action on.

Let’s make something happen, shall we? :)

Oops!

Can’t believe I haven’t already covered this oh-so-important topic already on this podcast.

Gonna fix that today. 🤨

Today we’re talking websites - and there is a LOT here for you.

I’m speaking with Whitney Bateson on how to turn your website into a 24/7 marketing system.

Whitney began as a dietician, but noticed how often other practitioners struggled to figure out marketing and tech on their own. Turns out, she has a gift for that, so today she runs a company helping wellness entrepreneurs attract more clients via a beautiful, strategic website.

In this episode, Whitney walks us through the entire process that happens behind the scenes when a potential client first lands on her website, and how she nurtures the relationship right up until they become a paying client.

AND, (this is the cool part!) how it all happens on auto-pilot. 😲

She’ll show you…

• One glaring mistake that your ‘About’ page is probably making right now (and how to fix it).
• Whether you should list your prices on your website - or not. (This one might surprise you).
• How to weed out clients who are not a good fit, and how to let them know with kindness, respect, and no guilt.
• A simple way to ensure that your website copy helps your clients feel seen and understood.

This is a packed episode, y'all - and you will LOVE it. 😍.

And you'll want to take notes!

No one teaches us this in grad school. I have spent thousands of dollars learning the kind of wisdom that Whitney is sharing here today.

I promise you, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

To your success,

~Wendy

P.S. WOW. I did NOT know that… If that’s what you’re thinking 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?

P.S. And check out the details for ON-PURPOSE 2025 below.

_______________

DOORS ARE OPEN!
OnPurpose 2025© is HERE!

On FRIDAY, December 6, you have a rare opportunity to join your peers for a half-day, comprehensive online planning retreat for healers who want to grow their practice with purpose, on purpose in 2025.

For years, I’ve led my private coaching clients through a December planning exercise designed to take them much deeper than simple goal setting.

Using the 7 Pillars of an Ideal Practice (c) as our guide, we take a close look at what they’ve already accomplished, and where there’s room to grow. With lots of support and deep conversation, we explore and clarify their dreams for next year. Then, with specific targets and goals in hand, we map out a plan for implementation.

In just a few hours, they move from vision to intention to implementation, and it’s pretty exciting to see that coming alive for each of them.

Because by the time we finish, they have a roadmap for next year, and know EXACTLY where to focus as they grow their Ideal Practice.

These days, you, my friends, can join me for that very same experience. 💞

Register through the link below. (Act soon to get it for half price!)

• When is this fully interactive workshop?

Friday, December 6, 2024 from 1:00 - 5:00 eastern / 12-4 Central, 10-2 Pacific.

• Where do we meet?

Zoom link will be emailed to you before the event starts.

• What does it cost?

The complete experience is usually $197, BUT, if you sign up by Monday, November 25, you can get in for less than half price.

Use the coupon code "2025IDEAL" (case sensitive, all one word) to get $100 OFF through Monday, 11/25/24, 11:59 p.m. eastern.

Ready? GOOD.

Sounds great, Wendy! I’M IN!

FIRST: a quick head's up.

In this episode, one I've pulled from the archives because it is THAT good, you'll hear that I was talking about an upcoming workshop that I held in December of 2024. Ignore that date, because that was, uhm, so last year. 😉

(I made a few tweaks to the audio to try to fix that, so if you hear a little glitch here and there, well, you know why, lol.)

This year's OnPurpose Workshop will be held on December 6. Get your name on the list to be notified when I open the doors by adding your name right here...

Now - let's get on with the podcast. :)
____________________________________________

Ok. Whew... Did you know that there are less than 8 weeks left in the year?

Yikes…😬

Like it or not - 2025 will be here crazy soon.

Got big plans for your practice?

Maybe you want to finally launch that new service.
Maybe this is the year you start to grow your team…
Perhaps you want to totally revamp your website so that it speaks more to your ideal client…

Well - if you really want to succeed in 2025 …

Don’t wait for January.
The time to get started on your plans is NOW.

Yeah. I know. 😳

But 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.

And when you take the time to set intentional goals for where you want to go as a practice owner, THAT is when you will actually get somewhere. 😉

In today’s episode, we’re going to do just that.

I’ll share with you how to get your free copy of my worksheet, the Declaration of Intention, designed to help you think through what matters most to you in your business.

This is an essential step BEFORE you even start to think about goal setting for next year.

So give this one a listen, and be sure to set some time aside to grab the worksheet and start answering the questions inside.

Because your next level of success starts now.

And we’ll be talking about THAT soon too. ;)

You’re reading this most likely because you’re the owner of a private practice (or you’re heading that way.)

How do you think of yourself?

An entrepreneur? A small business owner?

Or a CEO?

(Erm, Wendy … aren’t they the same thing?? 🤔)

Well no - they’re not - and that’s what we’re going to dive into today.

Brie Chrisman is the founder and CEO of Boss Co, an operations management agency helping mental health practice owners streamline operations and increase profits without added stress.

And I like the sound of that. Don’t you?

In this interview, Brie and I explored what it means to make the shift from thinking like an entrepreneur to thinking like a CEO (and why that matters.)

But here’s the thing … along with a shift in mindset, you also need the right systems and processes behind you, to support you in that role.

And THAT is what you’ll learn about today as Brie walks us through the exact process (and tools) she uses with her own clients.

You’ll also hear:

• The specific steps needed to shift from an entrepreneurial mindset to a CEO mindset (and the cost of not making the switch).
• What to do when you know you need to hire help, but you just don’t have the time (plus - a genius way to train them, FAST).
• The one new skill that you must cultivate before you can step into the role of CEO (and one behavior you’ve got to STOP right now).
• The difference between a $20/hr task and a $200/hr task, and why it matters so much.

Brie also has a special gift for you that I am SO impressed with. (Seriously - I was thrilled when she said she’d share this.)

That will help you get started right now, so you definitely don’t want to miss that.

Honestly guys - this is such an important topic.

In fact, often my coaching clients tell me that one of the things they learn through our time together is HOW to think like a CEO; this is critical to building a practice that is Ideal to you.

So, here’s to leveling up…

and becoming the visionary that your business needs.

Give this one a listen, and get prepared for an awesome 2025!

~Wendy
