How Do You Get Reliable Support  Whenever You Need It?

The Problem of Individual Coaching

Have you ever worked with a business building coach? You’d have a session with him or her where you’d put some plans together, or maybe get some questions answered, or maybe just get your attitude out of the hole it was in. Then, you’d go back to your office to see clients, or home to see your family, or wherever you go after such things : ).

Late that night or early the next morning when you decided to actually take some steps toward marketing your practice, you sat down at your desk and you tried to write your marketing piece, and…….

nothing…..

came.

You sat some more, put your fingers on the keyboard and stared at the blank screen (or gripped your pen tighter, staring at a blank notepad)…

and….

still….

nothing…

came.

All the doubt you had before your last coaching session seeped back in and totally flattened your resolve to get something done. Right? Feeling a little embarrassed, you probably waited several days before letting = your coach know you were stuck. Time was a-wastin’….

The Problem with Most Workshops

Have you ever been to one of those big Private Practice Building workshops? Like me, you probably got all pumped up with great ideas. If you were lucky and found a workshop that covered important topics (beyond the basics of setting up an office, writing disclosure statements, creating business cards, etc.), you might have even got some tips on how to get clients (a necessity don’t you think?) Perhaps the presenter even wrote a book on this subject so you bought the book from the back of the room and took it home to read. You were sure that the warm company of those pages was going to get you rockin’ and rollin’. In fact, you could hear your phone ringing with new clients, already…

Well, what happened?

Are you rockin’ yet?

Rollin’ yet? Maybe not.

It’s a bit like independent study…

Go back to your grad school days. What if the only program you could find was an “independent study” program? A program where they dumped a bunch of information on you in the beginning, gave you some rough guidelines and directions, and then said, “Okay, come back in 2-3 years, and please deliver:

• 25 APA papers on various topics (they might even do you a favor and list general topics for you)
• Your thesis
• 10 video tapes of client sessions and your assessment of each session
• Your transformed self….

What do you think your chances of success would be? Your mastery of the material? Not too great, I’d guess… Most people need ongoing feedback and a sense of community.

This is why independent study programs are rare. This is why individual coaching, a couple of times per month, isn’t as effective as it could be. This is why workshops, the way most are structured, rarely generate a return on investment for the attendees.

But what if you learned a new approach and then had a place to go...

...a community to support you in putting your new ideas to work? The New Generation Practices Community Forum is just the place to go. The free articles on our site and the newsletters you get with your free subscription will give you just the information you need to market your practice effectively. If you want even more help, you can always enroll in one of our workshops.

And if you get stuck...

…you’ll find the support of others who are also building their practices. Post your question in the Community Forum, and let the great people there get you unstuck. The people in our community have been searching high and low for the right answers to practice building, just like you. They, too, have tried all those approaches that don’t work. They, too, have journeyed alone… but now they’ve found
their people. People just like you.

What do we do in the (members-only, confidential) Community Forum?

1. Provide solid information about:

• Defining your niche, so your marketing is targeted
• Attracting “just right” clients to your practice
• Building a trusting relationship with potential clients
• Website Design – what works and why
• Article writing – the ins and outs
• Sources for
  • Business cards
  • Pamphlets
  • Forms to use in your practice
  • Website design
  • Anything technical
• How to expand your income beyond 1-1 client sessions to groups, workshops and e-book sales (if you’re interested)
• The ethics of marketing in our field
• And more….

2. Provide solid answers to your questions

Any question you ask will be answered by several folks, and answered quickly. There is a wealth of experience in our community and only one rule. That rule is Be Respectful. And I, as the forum owner, will be there all the time, answering questions, guiding you along, and of course, asking a few questions of my own! I trust the community to give me good answers, too. It’s kind of like having around-the-clock support. Who could ask for more?

3. Provide helpful feedback / critiques

One area of the Community Forum that is extremely valuable is The Feedback Table.

This is a place where you can share preliminary drafts of anything you’re working, and get helpful feedback from others. The feedback is valuable for three main reasons:

1. It will help you make decisions and quit floundering, so that you can move forward,
2. It will allow you to see, through other’s eyes and hearts, what your piece conveys and how it will affect your target audience, and
3. We all learn much faster by seeing what others are doing, and by giving feedback, ourselves.

The Feedback Table can be used to help you with:

• Niche definition
• Marketing communication
• Website design
• Article writing
• E-book writing
• Any idea you put forth

Why Would I Open Myself Up To Be Critiqued By My Peers?

That’s a great question and it has a great answer. By joining the Community Forum, you get membership in an exclusive club of professionals who, just like you, started with a basic understanding of the concepts we’re teaching, and then, like you will, sharpened their skills to dramatically increase their success. These professionals come to the Community Forum from all around the country and share how they got more and better clients, created profitable groups and workshops, sold e-books to people who needed their help, began training other therapists in their method, etc.

But What If You Don’t Use the Forum That Much?

Even if you only occasionally join us in the Community Forum, question, just the right feedback on one marketing piece to move you on your way, just the right nudge into an area that has scared you could be just what you needed to fill your practice and make it not only more profitable, but also more sane.

In addition, Community Forum members qualify for discounts on our workshops. You simply cannot lose.

Is There a Guarantee?

Of course. Like our other products, the Community Forum is fully guaranteed. If you participate in the community, you will surely get many times your investment in return. Even if you lurk and read, you should learn a great deal! However, should you ever find that the contents have not been of any use to you, please feel free to ask for your money back and it will be refunded – no questions asked.

One note about participation in the Community Forum: It is very much like a Mastermind Group (or even group therapy!) in that the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. Others will be there, trusting you to show up. You will trust them to show up. I will show up, and that’s a promise. So, please just jump in and ask questions and offer your (kind) feedback to others. No flaming allowed!
