    TRANSCRIPT

    Episode transcript

    Nicole: Hi, and welcome to the Lead Better Podcast. I'm your host, Nicole Harlow. And today I want to talk about something that I see all the time. And honestly, it's one of the biggest reasons why practitioners stay stuck way longer than they need to. So if you're hovering around that five to ten thousand dollar a month mark, and maybe you've hit a few times, but it doesn't really feel consistent, it can start to feel really confusing because on paper, it kind of looks like you're doing everything right. Well, you're probably working hard. I assume at this point you're posting content, you're probably investing in your business, whether that's through coaches or tools or programs, you care really deeply about your clients. I think that's really the bedrock of everything. And yet it still feels like you're pushing this like proverbial rock up the hill every single month, even to hit those numbers.

    Nicole: Like in five to ten thousand dollars a month, it's one we want to say stop and congratulate yourself for getting there, but that's probably not where your goals are. If I know you, it's probably something more like 20, 30, 50k a month plus maybe some of us have goals for six figures a month plus. That's really exciting. And what I found is that most people they don't have a more problem, right? They don't even have a knowledge problem. What I found is that what gets you to five to ten thousand dollars a month mark is really not what gets you scaling to 15, 20, 30, 50 plus. And what a lot of practitioners have is a set of beliefs about what it takes to grow. And those beliefs are really shaping the way that you build your business.

    You know what you think happens when a new patient finds you.
