How much time are you wasting trying to save time?

How much time are you wasting trying to save time?

How many times have you decided that THIS is the week you’re finally going to get organised?

Maybe you’ve bought a new notebook, downloaded an app or spent hours setting up a system that is definitely going to make everything easier.

I’ve been doing exactly that while getting ready to launch Find Your Focus. And after several attempts, one impressive system created by a friend and four or five hours trying to make something work, I realised I might have been going about this completely the wrong way.

In this episode, I’m talking about why getting organised can sometimes make running your private practice feel even more complicated, the mistake I made when I tried to organise myself like somebody else, and my new Ordinary Tuesday Test.

If you genuinely want to be more organised but nothing you try ever seems to stick, this one’s for you.

Also mentioned: Find Your Focus

If you’re doing lots of things to grow your private practice but aren’t sure where your time and energy would be best spent, Find Your Focus is my new 90-minute 1:1 session.

About the Podcast

The Grow Your Private Practice Show
Helping Counsellors and Therapists Get Found By More Clients More Easily
I’m Jane Travis and I’m an ex counsellor that now works with other therapists to grow their private practice, hence the name of the show.

I’m the author of the Grow Your Private Practice book and also run the Grow Your Private Practice membership, where counsellors can get together and learn all about marketing, with a special love of all things blogging.

Okay, that’s the official stuffy 'about me' bit out of the way, because honestly, it’s so much more than that.

The truth is, the thing that really drives me, is helping counsellors - counsellors like you - to get more freedom and choice into your life so can work when you want to, how you want to and with the issues that you’re passionate about.

And importantly, to get paid properly to do so.

Because you have the freedom and choice to run a thriving private practice whilst also creating a fulfilling life for both yourself and your family.

If you want that too, please click subscribe. I hope you enjoy listening.

Profile picture for Jane Travis

Jane Travis

Hi, I’m Jane. I’m a former counsellor who now helps other counsellors and psychotherapists to grow their private practice, hence the name of the show.

I’m the author of the Grow Your Private Practice book, and I run the Grow Your Private Practice membership, where therapists come together to learn all about marketing in a way that feels doable, ethical, and actually kind of fun.

Okay, so that’s the official, slightly stuffy “about me” bit.

But the truth is - it’s about so much more than that.

What really drives me is helping people like you create more freedom and choice in your life. So you can work the hours you want, in the way that suits you, with the clients and issues you’re passionate about. And most importantly? Get paid properly to do it.

Because you CAN build a practice that supports you - not just emotionally, but financially too.

I hope you enjoy listening.
