Better Skills. Better Doctors.

Send us Fan Mail I’ve had practitioners asking for my thoughts on choosing a specialty to practice. Specifically asking what speciality is the easiest to market to.  Choosing a practical specialty sounds, well, practical. But making your decisions purely from a practical standpoint can backfire on you down the road.  If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coac...

Send us Fan Mail One of the most asked questions that I hear from people who are trying to start or implement something new is “What’s the best way to do this?” or “What’s the best way to start?” I thought more deeply about this question and realized that when people ask this question they aren't actually looking for the BEST way. They're looking for something else.  Links mentioned: www...

Send us Fan Mail It sucks when a patient leaves us for a cheaper competitor, right? Patients should understand that as small business owners we shed blood, sweat, and tears to stay in business. It's harder for the little guy to keep it all together and they should understand that, right? Wrong. We are not entitled to a customer's money simply because we work really really hard.  Humans w...

Send us Fan Mail People have a lot of opinions and philosophies when it comes to the topic of hiring.  And there’s no right or wrong answer.   When you’re making the decision to hire, or making a decision about anything, it’s super important to understand the real reason why you are looking to hire AND that you like that reason.  If you are thinking about hiring, this episode is for you.  Links me...

Send us Fan Mail When people become dissatisfied or stuck in a situation, such as an employment position, a relationship, their practice, etc. very often the first thing they do is try to change things up. Such as: learn a new modality, change their fee structure, add more tx rooms, see more pts, hire a business coach to learn new systems, implement new software, hire employees or contractors, mov...

Send us Fan Mail If I asked you what the backbone of your business what would your answer be?  Your patients? Your staff? Money? Your clinical skills? If you answered any of these, sorry! If you want to know the REAL backbone of your business have a listen.  Link to register for the FREE Boundaries Workshop on June 13th: www.tcm-hub.com/livingpractice If this content and material resonates with yo...

Send us Fan Mail Over the past few years of coaching your colleagues and doing Introductory calls I have noticed that there are three main struggles that plague the people in this profession: Not enough time. Not enough money. And not enough courage.  Never enough time to juggle everything. Never enough money to feel free. Never enough courage to make the next move. I'm announcing a new progr...

Send us Fan Mail Two prestigious Chinese medicine schools have recently closed. This is obviously a complex and multifaceted problem. We can’t just simply point the finger at one thing to blame.  I can go on all day about financial aid, bloated tuition prices, and lack of quality standards in schools. BUT I want to talk about the piece of the equation that those of us who are licensed and practici...

Send us Fan Mail This week I interviewed Angela Renzetti, L.Ac., EAMP, RH. Angela recently paid off her student loans! $75K in four years making between $30k and eventually $90k over the course of those four years (during the pandemic!). Student loan debt can feel daunting and the thought of paying them off seems like an impossible feat, but as long as you think of them this way then it will alway...

Send us Fan Mail Many of you that I have talked to have told me that you avoid marketing your business on social media because you’re afraid that someone out there is going to criticize you.  You hold yourself back because you don't want to expose yourself to any haters.  We've got a hater right now. Listen to hear how I handle haters and how you can handle them too.  Links mentioned in...

Send us Fan Mail It’s easy to get caught up in wanting everything to be perfect or being overly cautious so as to not make the wrong move when it comes to business. Our businesses are how we earn our living and support ourselves and our families. And because of that we will have the thought “I can’t afford to make mistakes.” Or “I can’t afford to fail.” If you are looking to be inspired you need t...

Send us Fan Mail The brain really really hates incomplete pictures. It cannot tolerate gaps in a story or being left hanging.  So, when you don’t have all the facts your brain just starts making shit up. And usually it fills in those gaps in the story with negative, worst-case scenario stuff.  It starts filling the holes where the facts would be with very dramatic stories all in the attempt of sel...

Send us Fan Mail It being the 50th episode I thought it would be appropriate to do an episode on the topic of gratitude.  As humans we are not wired for gratitude. So since gratitude isn’t something that we’re wired for, that means that it needs to be practiced. It’s so easy to fall in to states of “everything sucks”, “nothing goes my way”, and “everyone’s doing better than me”.  Listen to learn m...

Send us Fan Mail The road to success starts with planning. Most people understand the importance of financial planning and keeping a schedule to achieve their success goals.  This episode talks about what I believe is the REAL key, the secret sauce, to achieving your dreams, and it has nothing to do with money or time management.  If this content and material resonates with you and you would like...

Send us Fan Mail Many of the people that I have coached will say that the reason they have a hard time making decisions, starting new things, or trying new things, or putting themselves out in to the world (aka Marketing) is because they are perfectionists.  But what I have found is: what people are calling perfectionism is actually procrastination and avoidance.  If you are a "perfectionist&...

Send us Fan Mail As you grow and your business starts making more money, you have to grow along with it. We all have legal tips and tricks that we use to keep our tax liability low and and our expenses low, but at some point those actions and the mindset behind those actions can start hindering our growth mindset. And therefore hinder our business and personal growth.   If this content and materia...

Send us Fan Mail The sweetest part of entrepreneurship isn't what you think it is. Which may be why you may be struggling with the long-game of growing your business.  If that's the case, this episode is for you.  If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit: tcm-hub.com/fed and click "Let's Work Together"

Send us Fan Mail Knowing your compelling reason is especially important for entrepreneurs and people running their own businesses. There are so many moving pieces in play when you are building a business while also trying to earn a living that it’s easy to lose sight of why you got into practicing in the first place.  Learn how "helping people" often ISN'T a compelling enough reason...

Send us Fan Mail General practitioners tend to have a difficult time targeting their messaging. And what I mean by messaging is the way they tell the world how they can help someone, why they are the exact right doctor for that someone, and why the patient should choose YOU over someone else. Just about every one of us is conditioned to think that what we provide to a patient is Acupuncture or Her...

Send us Fan Mail Michael here this week. I love doing interviews with TCM docs. It's a great opportunity to keep my finger on the pulse (pun intended) of the profession and to provide an opportunity for listeners to feel a little more connected to their colleagues and a little less alone out there. This is an fun and lively interview with Chinese medicine physician Ashley Sidell who practices...

Send us Fan Mail As we are packing up and getting ready to hold another Harmonize training this weekend we were reflecting on what our mission has become as opposed to where we started.  We started as CEU provider that focused only on teaching Chinese Herbal medicine-focused curriculum (no acupuncture). We created Harmonize as a way to teach you how to practice herbs in a streamlined and profitabl...

Send us Fan Mail It being the beginning of a new year I thought I would record an episode about an exercise I just did for myself the other day.  If you're feeling discouraged, unmotivated, uninspired, or lost this exercise can help pull you on track.  Links mentioned: www.tcm-hub.com/harmonize If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca,...
