September 2015 Earning Report

What I’m going to be reporting about how to make extra money and what I’m not going to be reporting

Private Practice

I do 9-10 sessions a week in my private practice. I don’t take insurance, so it is private-pay. As a result, I don’t have many expenses in time or actual money. I also do consulting with private practice clinicians and supervision for LLPCs in Michigan (Limited Licensed Professional Counselors), a 100 hour requirement in Michigan.

Passive Income

The term “passive” makes it sound like I don’t have to do work. What I mean is money that I make that is not in direct exchange for my time. I will outline what these are under each item.

Time Study

In March 2015 I started also looking at how much time I spend working, then I’ll figure out my weekly average. I want to compare this to my old schedule, where I worked 40+ hours and also did 15 or so with the private practice/consulting. I do my best to report this, but sometimes based on time, I just report the income.

Private Practice Expenses

For a while I have been getting emails about my expenses. It’s not been something that I had a clear handle on, so I didn’t want to inaccurately report them. I am going to report my major expenses each month. Thus the two Monthly Income Reports from January/February will be slightly inflated/deflated based on this new measure. March 2015 Monthly Income Report for Private Practice was the first month I started doing this.

Disclosure: many of the links below are affiliate links that will earn me a commission if you purchase through them, it’s one way that I help support the work I put into the website. Please click on them to help support Practice of the Practice.

Private Practice: $4,816.05

Other counselors: In 2015 we launched the Addictions Treatment: Intensive Recovery Program, which has started to bring in more clients that need additions help. I have four counselors that work for my Traverse City counseling private practice as 1099 contractors and I get a portion of what is brought in. In the past I reported just my portion, but I’m going to be reporting the gross sales that came in: $2,803.30

Paperwork Packet: $203.75

Consulting: (this sometimes includes building a website as part of the private practice coach session) I do private practice coaching. Usually there are three parts to private practice consulting:

  • A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) Analysis
  • Website Evaluation and Tips
  • Consulting: developing a niche within the private practice, building stronger referrals, increasing rates, and launching products to grow income
  • I’m also growing my Consultant-to-Consultants side of my consulting (say that 10x fast!)

BlueHost Referrals: If you are setting up a website, this is the best hosting because of their customer service and the ability to have unlimited websites hosted! $585

NameCheap is who I use to purchase my URLs, they are so easy to work with when you’re setting up a website!: $4.44

Google Ads: I have a few ads through the website and these bring in a bit of passive income. Since my podcast interview about How to Rank Higher in Google with Sarah Barnes I’ve been doing a lot less of this: $2.40

LegalZoom: Legal Zoom is a great way to file your PLLC or LLC paperwork and all other legal forms: $0

Grasshopper: This is the amazing virtual phone system I use, rather than an expensive land line system. I have the $12/month one and it is awesome. At least check them out and watch some videos. $500
