Pricing your MFR service can be tough. Most of my clients worry that if they set prices too high, they’ll miss out on valuable sales, set them too low, and they miss out on valuable revenue. Thankfully, pricing doesn’t have to be a sacrifice or a shot in the dark. I am here to help you to set the right prices for your business and revenue goals with less drama. One of the best strategies is to hav...

While filming Raise Your Rate Bootcamp someone asked me what my philosophy on rates was in regards to new therapists being able to charge higher rates while “expert level” therapists with 20 plus years of experience were still charging $90. ‌ I would like to share my response here because likely this MFR therapist isn’t the only one with this question or the only one out there feeling really uncom...

How often when you fear that the answer is no, do you avoid asking someone the question that you really want to ask? If you're anything like me, hearing the word no is somehow the hot sizzle of death. At least that is how I used to view the word no but when I break it down, I realize that I'm just asking a question and I'm getting an answer. It's what I make that answer mean about me and the perso...

Patti spent 7 years being too afraid to walk away from her career as a Licensed physical therapy assistant knowing it was what she was called to do.  When she finally decided to go to massage school she couldn’t imagine specializing in MFR even though she'd been practicing it for 9 years, simply because she was afraid it would be too niche or wouldn’t lead to success.  Just as she had the courage...

I’m going to talk about a few things that are my pet peeves and that have really gotten under my skin as well as some examples of some recent experiences.

And If you are a John Barnes trained MFR therapist who wants to feel better in yo...

Feel like a scammer? You're not alone.  Recently in my group coaching program, this came up, the idea that you could be scamming people in your MFR business.  It was a real problem for many people in the group and I think it's really important to talk about this and to address it, because the sooner you can make this not a problem for yourself in your business, the sooner you can spend your time a...

One of the most critical aspects of growing any business is getting expert help. Hiring support from outside your area of expertise can free up your time so that you can focus on what you do best. And by doing so, the growth trajectory of your business is likely to continue or accelerate. I thought it would be fun to interview my amazing team so you guys can get a sneak peek behind the scenes of w...

Today marks our two-year podcast anniversary of the launch of this podcast. That's 2 years, 108 weekly episodes produced, and 30k+ downloads. If you told me back in 2020, as I was writing my book that in less than three years, I would do all of the things I've done, I would have probably been too intimidated to keep going, but here we are in 2023 and reflecting on my experience of the last two yea...

I presented a challenge to my November Group Coaching Cohorts to post something in the group that was a brag, and not a humble brag, they were to boldly declare the amazing work that they were doing out in the world. I also asked them to post something that they felt very fearful about.  Some people understood the assignment and some people didn't.  With business pivots come some moments of anxiet...

The best bet you’ll ever make is on yourself, which is certainly true for our guest today, Rachele DeCrescenzo.

Today we are talking about business growth. You may have started your business with an expectation that once you figure out the right processes, systems, and how to sell MFR we will experience a result such as business growth. When that doesn't happen, this leads to frustration. Business growth and what you acquire in a month as far as clients and cash flow is similar to healing in that it isn't l...

The thought of leaving a job to start a new business can be incredibly exciting, but also very scary and overwhelming.

If you’re considering leaving your current job to start your own MFR business, you don't want to...
