  • #129. Next Year Has Already Begun. Here's How to Start Getting Ready Now.
    Nov 12 2024

    Question or comment? 🙋‍♀️ Send me a text message!

    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. ;)

  • 128. Are You the Visionary Your Business Needs? A Conversation with Brie Chrisman
    Nov 5 2024

    Question or comment? 🙋‍♀️ Send me a text message!

    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

    P.S.“Okay Wendy - THAT was interesting….!

    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?

  • 127. 10 Ways to Lean In Before the End of the Year and Finish Strong!
    Oct 29 2024

    Question or comment? 🙋‍♀️ Send me a text message!

    I have something for you to think about today, folks …

    Are ya feeling kind of ready to switch off and grab a little downtime?

    After all, it’s almost the holiday season and let’s be honest … nothing much happens at this time of year, right?? 🌲 I get that.

    But what if - instead of stepping out - you leaned in?

    What if you used these last few months of the year to make some serious progress in your businesses? 🤩

    Today, I’m sharing ten different ways that you can lean in and see some real success in your business before the end of this year.

    You’ll also learn:

    • The 3 bare minimum things that you must do before the end of this year.
    • How to spot the opportunities that are right under your nose.
    • How a simple, 3 email sequence can reconnect you with old clients (and boost your cash flow too!)
    • The ONE thing you MUST make space for in your calendar if you want to grow your business (… and an exciting way to take it up a notch this December!).

    AND, I have something else cool to share with you today!

    I’m kind of excited about this. I’ve bundled up some of my most popular practice development tools that you guys ask for all the time. Rather than wait for one here and there, you can grab them all right when you click here completely free of charge.

    Who knows? One of those might be especially helpful here in Q4.

    Folks, it’s easy to think that nothing much happens in November and December. But the truth is that this can be the ideal time for some small steps and micro-movements that really can change the trajectory of your business.

    This year is not done yet, and neither are YOU.

    Not even close!

    So, give this one a listen. Because you can make big money and do great things in this final stretch.

    (Speaking from experience!)

    Enjoy!

    ~Wendy
    xoxo

    P.S. What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to reaching your most important goal this year? Shoot me an email and let me know. I’d love to hear…
