• Creating a plan for your current clients
• How to bring in more private pay clients
• Why it’s less scary than it sounds to get off panels
• Whether to get off all panels at once or stagger it

What I Wish I'd Said Wednesday

Rebecca Wong of Connectfulness and Practice of Being Seen

Rebecca Wong is a relationship therapist and consultant. She's a co-host of the Practice Of Being Seen podcast and the creator of Connectfulness, a research-based practice that encourages you to explore and embrace every aspect of your humanity – including everything that’s marvelous and all that’s messy. Rebecca helps her clients dare to share their truest self with the world. Rebecca says, "when you truly see yourself you create a ripple effect that allows you to be the change you wish to see in the world, and that invites those around you to do the same." For What I Wish I'd Said Wednesday we discuss:

• Why Niche is so important
• The power of relationships and networking for referrals
• How referring to others is a part of playing the log game the right way
• How shifting into a private pay practice changed her “why”
• How she came off insurance piece by piece
• Sliding scale snafu’s
• How she dropped half her caseload and made more money
• The things she didn’t expect to happen that made it a little harder
