Find Safety in Numbers

Ask! Believe! Achieve! wants to provide you with an opportunity to find support while setting up a private practice. I remember many nights where I felt anxious, wondering how clients were going to find me and how I was going to support myself financially until I got clients through the door. I wished I had a safe community to turn to during that time.

Support is now here! Ask! Believe! Achieve! has established a safe, private community board where clinicians can share their successes, trials, and lessons learned as you build your own private practice. Private practice can be a very isolating business. Through such communities (which are monitored carefully by the A!B!A! staff), you can grow and build your business with abundance in mind.

Join us and take the first step towards building your dream practice!

Closing the Deal: Getting the Client to Say "Yes!"

Are You Experiencing the Following:

•A client calls to inquire about your services. You give them your "schpiel." At the end, rather than the client saying, "Sign me up," you get, "Let me talk to my wife/husband and I'll call you back."

•You have a client on the phone. They set the appointment, only to call back a little while later to cancel the appointment.

•You set the appointment, but the client never shows for the intake without any notification.

If this tends to happen to you, then it's time to sign up for the next FREE teleconference, "Closing the Deal!" Join us on April 29th at 4:00pm PST! You can sign up today at Ask! Believe! Achieve!

We'll be discussing reasons clients tend to back out, what you can do to minimize this from happening. We'll also look at scripts to help you through those awkward moments, such as discussing fees, dealing with insurance clients, and handling feelings you might experience, such as rejection and frustration.

Look forward to seeing you there! Ask! Believe! Achieve!

Money & Private Practice - March 31, 2008

Many of us go through our internships working with clients fom low-income families. Some can barely pay for their rent let alone therapy. Now, in private practice, we want clients to pay for our services, not only because our overhead costs more, but because we're worth it!

On March 31, we are having a teleconference to discuss these issues and look at ways to overcome them.

You can sign up now by going to Ask! Believe! Achieve! and taking the first step towards making yourself a better clinician!!!

Hope to see you there!

The Launch of Ask! Believe! Achieve! is official!

As of midnight today, Ask! Believe! Achieve! was launched!

I'm excited for this endeavor, as it will provide clinicians an opportunity to grow their private practices in a supportive environment.

All too often, I hear pessamism:

There's a recession. Now's not the time to open a practice.
You'll have to get on insurance panels to make any money.
No one is going to therapy.

I'm always disheartened when I hear therapists talk this way.

The purpose of Ask! Believe! Achieve! is to help pre-licensed and licensed clinicians deal with these fallacies and work on maintaining a positive focus when embarking on such an adventure, such as going into business for oneself.

I hope you are able to join us on future calls. You can sign up at my website, Ask! Believe! Achieve!

I look forward to seeing you there!
