5. “THE APPRENTICE” MEETS THE JULY PRACTICE BUILDING INTENSIVE

Well, almost. The July Practice Building Intensive starts soon and we are increasing our level of support for participants with volunteer "apprentices!"

To qualify, an apprentice must have completed the 90-Day Practice Building Intensive, have successfully implemented PBI strategies in their practice, and have a strong desire to support their colleagues to do the same.

I'm surprised and pleased to report that we have FIVE wonderful, talented, passionate apprentices that will be assisting with the July PBI!

No, we won't be voting them off, and they won't be living together, but they will be participating in our weekly conference calls, facilitating our online community, and we will be meeting weekly to strategize how to best support PBI participants. I'm no Donald Trump, but my commitment to them is to help them grow with this experience. It will be a blast!

Join the fun! This promises to be a rich experience for all. This 90-day program for building your ideal practice starts July 1st.

To Register:
If you are a member of RCI or BYIP.com simply e-mail to join.

If you are not yet a member, visit http://www.buildingyouridealpractice.com for information about our affordable membership programs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
6. HOW TO GET CLIENTS TOOLKIT NOW AVAILABLE

We launched the e-book version of the “How to Get Clients Toolkit” this month! The print version with audio CD is at the printers and will be available for shipping by July 1st.

In preparing for its release I've been gathering testimonials together, which has been an amazing experience. I knew this material has made a difference for folks, which is why I decided to create a product from it, but I was not prepared for the tremendous successes reported by participants and their strong expressions of gratitude that touched me deeply.

To read them for yourself, visit http://www.buildingyouridealpractice.com/howtogetclientstoolkit.html

When the print version is launched, the e-book version will be included and no longer available separately. For the best price, check out our pre-publication specials at http://www.buildingyouridealpractice.com/order.html

----------------------------------------------------------------------
7. END TELEPHONE TAG WITH ONLINE SCHEDULING

Save time and increase your availability to your clients and prospects by allowing them to book their own appointments with an outstanding new online scheduling system.

Designed specifically for private practice professionals, your clients and prospects will appreciate the ability to schedule, cancel, and reschedule their appointments with you, securely and confidentially. They, and you, receive e-mail confirmations, and to prevent scheduling conflicts, you have complete control of your calendar and availability.

This application is so easy, all your client or prospect needs to do is enter a valid email address, select the desired date and time for the appointment. That's it! The appointment is set! No waiting on hold, no worry of phone tag, no waiting for proper business hours. Your clients and prospects are able to set appointments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at their convenience!

It only takes a few minutes to set up, and their 30-day free

trial doesn't require giving them any financial info.

I put the URL to my online schedule in my e-mail signature line, and e-mail it to folks that wish to meet with me in person or over the telephone. I’m so happy to eliminate the hassles of telephone tag! For an example of how you can use this on your website, check out a website I’m putting together for Maggie at http://www.maggieharrislcsw.com/

Feature Article

DOING “THE WORK” ALONE ON A PRE-COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP
By David Steele

This month we had a great exchange on our listserv about a pre-committed couple where one partner wanted to do our “Partners in Life” program and the other partner did not.

As you can guess, this raised red flags for many of us. I would like to use this space to share my response as food for thought. What follows is strictly my own opinion, and I acknowledge there are other valid points of view:

  1. When a relationship is "new"... as are most pre-committed relationships of couples who want a committed relationship, is the time that most folks are MOST MOTIVATED to be together to experience and enhance the relationship.

    If someone in this stage doesn't appear to have much energy for doing so during this period, and/or takes a "my way or no way" attitude, to me, it is an especially strong reason for a red flag. In my opinion, it reflects a serious lack of mutuality, flexibility, open-mindedness, and not making the partner and relationship a priority.
  2. Behavior is not random. Nothing ever happens just once.

    I would assume that discounting his partner's priority, being closed and rigid to proposals from his partner to enhance the relationship is part of a pattern. To me, rationalizing that it is not a priority because things are "Fine" or "too busy" doesn't wash. You better believe that if he had a priority in which he wanted his partner's participation (finances, for example) he wouldn't accept a brush-off.
  3. We need to carefully judge when to "work" on a relationship.

    For a committed relationship it is a no-brainer.. you do what it takes.

    For a pre-committed relationship, working too hard to make the round peg fit the square hole can be a sign that it is not a good fit.

    I personally, would not want anyone to do "the work" in a pre-committed relationship alone, because I would assume the pattern would continue. I would NOT want to help someone to try to "shift" a pre-committed relationship on their own- I would want to help them see the reality of "what is" and make conscious choices about it.

Food for thought…
