Episode 75: Pivot, Adjust, and Get Back Up [featuring Amber Lyda]

All Things Private Practice Podcast

It can be really easy for new entrepreneurs to get caught in a comparison trap and uphold these one-dimensional expectations and standards around what it means to be successful.

Many new entrepreneurs are often under the belief that success is measured by meeting grand goals and making tons of money, but the reality is that success holds a different meaning for everyone, and if you structure your business and lifestyle to match your values, you will be able to create a business that, no matter how much money you make or many vacations you take, will be truly fulfilling.

If you are at the place where you wonder what's next and if you're "doing entrepreneurship the right way," then this episode is for you.

In this episode, I talk with Amber Lyda, psychologist and moderator of the Online Therapists Facebook Group.

Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:

1. Identify different ways to measure success and avoid the comparison trap.
2. Understand that it is okay to say no to things that don't align with your values and that not jumping on trends doesn't mean that you will be lacking.
3. Learn ways that a therapist can evolve their entrepreneurial ventures over time, from butt-in-the-seat therapy to the skies the limit.

It's important for therapist entrepreneurs to embrace the idea that entrepreneurship is a journey and not a destination. As they grow and evolve, it's okay to pivot their business and services to better align with their passions, values, and goals. Being open to change and evolution can lead to even greater success, opportunities, and fulfillment in their entrepreneurial journey.

Message from Amber:

Hi. I’m Amber Lyda. I’m a psychologist who, for YEARS, let my inner Go-Getter trample all over my inner Life-Haver. I found a way to continue to do the work I LOVED without sacrificing the life I wanted.

I left my agency job and started an ONLINE-ONLY cash pay therapy practice… and then I built a side hustle… which turned into my primary hustle. Now I help other therapists do the same!

I coach, consult, and teach courses to help therapists get clear on the life they want to have and how to get there. Whether it’s…

• training them to build their own online therapy practice,
• marketing to private pay clients (yes, across state lines!),
• or coaching them through finding their other passions and turning them into profits,

I help therapists Dream Big and Live Better.

Email me and share where you are in your dream building and what you need to move forward!
