When You're Unmotivated
If you're unmotivated in private practice, I’m not going to tell you to get over it. When you’re unmotivated there’s probably a reason.

- You’re burned out. Totally the #1 reason I hear from the practice-builders I work with. Many are working a job while building their private practice. They’re also doing their best to be a good …

Real Connection Requires Courage: How to Write Great Copy
Nikki Bonsol is awesome. She's a designer and copywriter who REALLY understands what we do, partly because of her experience working in social services.

2016: The Year of Not Hustling
So, I hate New Year’s Resolutions. They feel forced. If you want to change something, you should start now instead of waiting for some magical date. (Ok, do you hear that? That’s the hustler in me. I’m fighting her like crazy.) Let’s restart... One of the things I recognized about myself in 2015 is that I have a hustling problem. Too much of my identity is rooted in achievement.
