There’s the Generalist, the Niche and Specialty, and Then There’s This
Now, many of us have heard the riches are in the niches. I’ve also heard that some people love the generalist path as well. There are compelling arguments for both sides, but all it took was one conversation with my best friend to jump on a newer bandwagon, with a newer mindset, and for good reason.
Here’s Why Content Is King
In general, people are really overwhelmed and busy. Think about who you actually listen to, who do you follow on a regular consistent basis? Maybe there’s one podcaster that you always listen to, or there’s a blog post that is your go-to. But generally, you don’t give your attention to many people nor should we expect that our audiences are going to give attention to us.

- The 5 Secrets Behind a Great Content Plan
I started a podcast a number of years ago that totally failed. The reason was that it was past where my audience was. Because I helped counselors that are starting, growing and scaling a private practice, but at the time I wanted to make a jump and so I started teaching people how to become consultants. Most of my audience at that time was just starting a practice it was too far beyond them. So I got a handful of listeners but not enough to make it worth my time, so I stopped it. - Here’s the Content Strategy You’ve Been Looking For
After you’ve looked at the analytics and you’ve seen what actually worked, you want to replicate that. Is it a particular celebrity that you wrote about that got people really got buzzing? Maybe it was a topic or how-to or something like that. Replicate what’s working rather than always creating something new. - Self-Care as a Private Practice Owner
We all know the deal with self-care and the importance of being able to care for yourself, so you can show up for your clients and your family. But how do you fit this in when you are beginning your practice and you are a running everything yourself? Well, just the same way that you make showing up to your sessions a priority, and how it is blocked off in your calendar, you do the same for yourself! - How to Master the Innovation Process
When people want to innovate, we want to look at the reason why. Why do you want to innovate? Do you have something to say are you just saying something? - Day & Night: The Flow Of Work Shouldn’t Stop
A busy office is a sign that things are going great. You have lots to do, such as fulfilling customer orders, talking with your various suppliers and handling customer complaints. You’re also emailing your partners, meeting with clients and distributors etc, are all signs of a booming business. Employees make this magic happen. - Dancing and How It Helps Me With Counseling
We as therapists need to have a way to recharge our batteries on a regular basis. It can be the difference between burnout and being able to have a career that is prosperous and sustainable. If you’re wondering what you can do for fun that can be enlivening and restorative, you might consider dance as one possibility of having fun that could fit the bill. - Patience is a Practice, Not a Virtue
Thank goodness patience is something that I can work on. Not something that some people are blessed with and others don’t have. The challenges that come with being a small business owner and “starting up” are varied, frustrating, and often incredibly surprising. We can get exactly the right advice, feedback, or support we need, but we still have to go through the emotions and the stressors ourselves - How to Stop Fighting
Want to stop fighting? Have you ever been in an “almost car accident?” You almost got sideswiped. Someone was in your blind spot and you just missed that van. Maybe you were stopped at a light and the person behind you wasn’t paying attention and stopped just in time. - A Quick Guide to Content Creation
We’re going to go through some strategies here that are going to help you come up with ways that will actually help you create content quickly while also serving your audience.
