What would make the biggest difference to your practice this year?

Mark: Hi there – well here we are at the start of another year – always a very exciting time of year I think!
And I’m here with my friend and business partner Roger Elliott to see how we can help YOU as a practitioner in 2016.

Roger: Yes, the turn of the year does tend to make you reflect on how things have gone in the past year of course, and where you want to be next year…

Every year we sit down with our whole company and reflect on the previous year and also really plan out where we want to be and what we want to achieve in the coming year and it…really provides a great touchpoint for how things are going and a launch pad as well.

So we want to see how we can align our efforts next year so we’re sure we’re helping you as much as we can. So the question I’d like to ask you is..: What one thing this year would make the biggest difference to your practice?

So when YOU were first starting out Mark – 22 years ago, what do you think would have made the biggest difference for you back then?

Mark: Well…at first…and this isn’t going to be too much of a bombshell…Getting enough clients was really hard..I really needed the money…and I found it hard to believe that I could actually make a living through therapy…

I didn’t know how to market my practice and if I had got better help earlier on could have grown my practice faster…Another issue for me back then was…I guess I didn’t have the confidence to feel I could treat everybody who came to see me…

I used to believe that if someone was depressed for example that I didn’t have all the skills to treat them…so better therapeutic skills was a big thing…which is why even when I was up and running seeing clients…I was learning therapeutic strategies to help everybody and anybody who came through my therapy door…

Roger: Okay…so we know from working with practitioners over the years that those two concerns are…pretty common ….So…get in touch and let us know what single change this year would make the biggest difference to your practice.

So it might be something on the business side – like specific business or marketing skills for instance – and I’ll help you with those and we’ll do our best to help you in any other ways too because this is such a great time of year to take stock and focus on your goals for this coming year.

Mark: So there you go – let us know what would make the biggest difference for you in the comments below and if we can help, we will.

We’ll either answer you right away or we’ll plan in an article or another piece of content into our content calendar to help you get where you want to be.

We’ll see you in the comments, and Happy New Year!

Roger: Happy New Year! :-)
