  • Do You Want To Take A Sabbatical?

    14/06/2022 Duration: 13min

    I’ve craved this sabbatical for years. My sister is a public school teacher and sometimes she takes several weeks off during the summer. I’ve always envied her weeks off. As my sister went on long road trips with her family or just slowed down at home, I’d find myself thinking…”must be nice.” Then immediately I’d feel ashamed about my envy. My sis overworks all year long. As educators, she and her colleagues are expected to pick up the slack of a ridiculously underfunded educational system. They've clearly gone beyond earning many many weeks off. And often they spend some of those weeks cleaning their classrooms and prepping for the next year. I just heard that about 60% of teachers are thinking about or wishing they could leave the classroom. And then there’s everyone I know who’s an overworked therapist. I know a lot of therapists working too many hours for not enough pay, either in private practice or in agencies. Me on the other hand... I make good money. As a micro business owner I create my own hours, w

  • Write Your First Book With Laura Mae Northrup

  • Ask Annie: Do I have to do a webinar?

    19/04/2022 Duration: 22min

    Lots of my clients are afraid to do webinars. Like I can’t think about anything else, I just want to cancel it kind of afraid. Like I’m convinced I will make a total fool of myself kind of afraid. Like can I just get under the covers instead kind of afraid. Like sweaty-as-hell-armpits kind of afraid. I used to be afraid to do webinars too. In this episode I talk about why it might be worth it to move through that fear, and I share 23 ways to make webinars go better for you and your attendees. The short answer to the question “Do I have to do a webinar?” is, of course, no. You are the boss of you. Here’s why I think you should try it even if you’re as uncomfortable with the idea as I used to be: There’s pretty much nothing like a webinar to allow you to interact and connect with the people you’re here to serve. You get to see people’s questions and their reactions to what you’re sharing, which is valuable market research. You’re able to provide value to your attendees in real time. Your future participants ge

  • Ask Annie: What Should I Charge For My Pilot Program?

    22/03/2022 Duration: 22min

    I recently got this question from a participant: What should I charge the very first time I offer my program beyond private practice? Um, actually I get this question pretty much EVERY week. It’s one of the most common questions I hear and it’s one of my favorites to dig into. I’m talking about pricing an offer beyond your therapy sessions...something like a workshop, coaching program, retreat or course. The simple answer is, you should price it somewhere between $0 and 60K. (Seriously, I have helped actual brilliant humans choose both of those prices recently, and each decision made sense for their particular situation. No joke.) So that right there tells you that pricing your program is an individual process. In this week’s episode, I dive into how you can decide where on that spectrum you’ll price your signature offer the first time you sell it. Here’s some of what I shared in the episode: Three examples of folks with different kinds of pilot offers and the prices they landed on. Two of the most common mi

  • The Best Niches Beyond Private Practice

    30/11/2021 Duration: 25min

    This week I shared my thoughts on niching beyond private practice and at the end I gave you a small list of niches I think we need more of you to create programs and services around. Keep reading for a summary of what I talked about. Niching beyond private practice is SO different from niching to fill a practice. You CAN fill your traditional private practice without a narrow niche. Once you move into the global online space, you are likely to need a narrow niche. What's a niche? A niche is a problem your person is trying to solve. An identity or community is not a niche, but an identity or community can be a huge ingredient of a niche. Here's why: Even if you came up with a group for 49 year old white cis queer women who are parents by both adoption and birth, live upstairs from their sisters, and are Elton John fans, I would not join until you told me what problem you're helping us solve. (That describes me, if you didn't guess.) That said, identity can be a HUGE part of what goes into your niche. Just look

  • Title: When Your Program Doesn't Fill

    02/11/2021 Duration: 21min

    If your program doesn't fill, first of all, welcome to the club! This secret club includes me and almost all of the people you see running successful programs right now. On one level, when your program doesn't fill, it means absolutely nothing. It means nothing about your future success, your brilliance, or your ability make this business fly. In this episode I'll share how it felt to me when my own program didn't fill years ago, a mindset process you may go through when a program doesn't fill, and then some questions to help you analyze what might have caused your program not to fill so that you can make changes for next time. Here's some of what I talk about: The stuff I told myself when my own program didn't fill Nancy Jane Smith's helpful approach to an anxiety producing situation like this How to know when you're ready to do a post-launch analysis (hint: don't do it while you're still in free fall!)
