Hey there, it's Dr. Hayley Kelly here, and I'm excited to share with you some powerful insights from my recent trip to the United States. In this episode of the Therapist Rising Podcast, I dive into the transformative lessons I learned while attending workshops and masterminds with some of the most brilliant minds in the business world.

One of the key takeaways from this experience was the importance of surrounding yourself with "expanders" - people who challenge your current way of thinking, push you outside your comfort zone, and inspire you to dream bigger. By immersing myself in the company of successful entrepreneurs, I was forced to confront my own limiting beliefs and elevate my perception of what's possible for my business and personal growth.

Another crucial insight I gained was the value of expanding your network beyond your immediate niche. Engaging with diverse perspectives from various industries can fuel creativity, innovation, and lead to game-changing ideas. I also learned that imposter syndrome is a common struggle among entrepreneurs, regardless of their level of success, and that it's essential to embrace the discomfort as a sign of growth.

Throughout the episode, I share how challenging your beliefs and assumptions can help you reach new heights, and how focusing on mastering the fundamentals and tackling the most significant constraints in your business can lead to sustainable success.

So, if you're a therapist looking to grow your practice, diversify your income, or scale an online program, this episode is packed with actionable tips and insights to help you on your journey. Remember, success is not a straight line, but by staying committed to your vision, surrounding yourself with the right people, and focusing on the essentials, you can achieve the impact and success you desire.

In this episode, I explore three types of online programs that therapists can create to expand their reach, impact more lives, and generate additional income. I discuss the characteristics, benefits, and considerations of each program type, providing examples and actionable tips to help you get started.

Key Takeaways:

1. Mini Online Programs are perfect for helping clients achieve specific goals quickly, such as learning relaxation techniques for stress and anxiety relief. To create a successful mini program, identify a narrow topic or skill that provides a quick win for your target audience.
2. Short Online Programs offer a more comprehensive approach to a specific topic or problem. By creating a 4-6 module program, you can provide your audience with a solid foundation and tangible results. To get started, determine a single topic or problem your audience struggles with and develop a program that addresses it in-depth.
3. Signature Online Programs are premium, in-depth offerings that help clients achieve significant transformations over a 6-12 week period. To create a successful signature program, identify the broader transformation you want to provide and structure your program with additional support, such as group coaching or Q&A sessions.

I also share inspiring success stories from therapists in my community who have created profitable online programs, demonstrating the potential for therapists to make a meaningful impact and grow their businesses through online offerings.

I encourage listeners to take action by choosing the program type that aligns with their expertise and audience's needs, and to share their thoughts and ideas within my community for support and inspiration.

Whether you're new to online programs or looking to expand your existing offerings, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable strategies to help you create a profitable online program that transforms lives and grows your therapy practice.
