One of the biggest mistakes coaches, counselors and other healing professionals make is to assume that they must advertise their private practice in order to get clients. These professionals often tell me they have spent a lot of money on advertising with minimal, if any, results. Many become discouraged with advertising, and some even give up on the idea of having a private practice assuming they have no other options for marketing their practice.It is not surprising that this happens
If you aren’t meeting your goals, it could be due to the fact that you haven’t defined them. Creating a productivity plan gets you organized and allows you to accomplish more in less time.
A productivity plan is simply an outline of tasks that you intend to complete on either a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Tasks can range from basic operations to marketing and sales activities. Use your plan to get the most out of each work day.
Designing Your Plan
Design a plan that fits your individual goals. If there are specific tasks that you need to complete each week, designate a specific day of the week to accomplish each task. For example, you might review financial statements on Mondays, schedule one-on-one time with your staff on Tuesdays, focus on marketing activities on Wednesdays, and so on.

Why should you invest in long term if you can win on the short?It is not always easy to realize the long term side-effects of current actions. Take for instance your summer holiday spending days in the sun. Making it very easy to forget about the long-term effects of over-exposure of UV radiation. The last thing that will dwell on your mind – at that moment - is what your skin will look like when you are mid-thirty. However when you reach that age and your skin is all shrivelled – far

It never fails to amaze me how many companies have employees who are empowered to offer former customers wonderful incentives to lure them back, yet their customer service representatives have the ability to offer virtually nothing to convince an unhappy customer to stay.Powerless, these CSRs often actually ignore customers’ requests and declarations of their intent to leave, even encouraging them to seek out another company!They often repeat the few phrases they’re
Assigning tasks to days of the week will help get you into a routine and minimize procrastination. In addition to specific daily tasks, you can also create a list of other goals to accomplish throughout the week. For example, a consulting business might include the following tasks: attend a networking function, update three pages of the website, make a new media contact, contact three potential alliance partners, develop one new worksheet for clients, and complete at least seven introductory calls.
The tasks for each business vary greatly. When developing your list, ask yourself these questions:
*What tasks will help me with my general organization?
*What do I need to do to make sure I am constantly marketing my business?
*How can I improve the company’s bottom line?
*What tasks should I be doing that I tend to avoid?
Here are some ideas to get you started:
*Perform X number of cold calls.
*Write and send a press release.
*Evaluate reports (website traffic, P&L statements, inventory, etc.).
*Attend a business networking event.
*Read an industry-related book or e-book.
