Welcome to the Practice Building Blog!
Hello, and a warm welcome to all my readers! I'm Natalie A. N. Elliott, LPC, CPCS, LMFT-S, CST-S, an African American sex therapist transitioning into a Private Practice Building Coach based in the vibrant heart of Atlanta. I have dedicated my career to empowering individuals and professionals alike, not only in mastering the complexities of sex therapy but also in navigating the exciting journey of entrepreneurship and business development.
As we embark on this journey together through my blog today, I want to share a few core beliefs that guide my coaching practice:
1. There Is Enough Business for Us All: In the realm of private practice and entrepreneurship, abundance is a mindset. I firmly believe that there is ample opportunity for each of us to thrive. This blog aims to share strategies and insights that help unlock that potential.
2. We Cannot Manage What We Do Not Measure: Metrics are the heartbeat of any successful business. Whether it's client satisfaction, financial performance, or operational efficiency, knowing and understanding your data is crucial. Here, you'll find tips and tools to track and analyze your business metrics effectively.
3. Know Your Numbers: Financial literacy is not just about keeping your business afloat but steering it towards growth. From budgeting to forecasting, I will guide you through the financial essentials that every practitioner should know.
4. Helping Others Achieves More: Inspired by Zig Ziglar's philosophy, this belief is at the core of my coaching approach. If we focus on genuinely helping others achieve their goals, our own success will naturally follow. Expect to explore methods and practices that enhance your impact on clients and colleagues alike.
5. Success Is About Becoming, Not Just Having: True success in business and life is about personal growth and development. It's about becoming the person who attracts success naturally. We'll delve into ways to foster the qualities and habits that lead to sustained success.
6. Learning Is Never-Ending: The landscape of therapy and business is ever-evolving, and so our learning should be. Continuous education, whether through formal courses, reading, or experiential learning, is fundamental. This blog will serve as a resource to keep you informed, skilled, and inspired.
7. Accepting Where We Are: Every journey is unique, and it's important to acknowledge and accept where you are right now. This acceptance is the first step towards meaningful change and growth. Together, we'll explore how to appreciate your current state while striving for more.
Through this blog, I hope to create a community where we can share knowledge, challenge each other, and grow together. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just starting out, here you'll find something to inspire, educate, and propel you towards your goals.
Thank you for joining me on this exciting journey. Let’s grow together and help others on the way!
Your Professional Big Sister,
Coach Nat
