I’ve been dreaming up ideas for when I have my own business someday. My product would be counseling, coaching, or therapy services at an affordable rate. I would not use insurance and therefore would not have to go through the lengthy and cumbersome credentialing process or keep and submit the records that are a part of that deal. It’s something I am able to get started on now, with the continuous working toward my hours, and the organizing and solidifying of all the ideas.

They say you have to have a niche if you’re going to be able to sustain a practice that is filled with only self-pay clients. To me the niche would be the affordable pricing combined with the wide variety of services offered. This would all have to be sorted out and described in a website. That’s another thing I can work on in the margins of my time, because you can do all of that without it ever being live and you don’t make it public until it’s ready. The somatic practitioner course came with an additional “master” level course that includes a whole business section that I am trying to take more seriously and not skip or rush through it.

I keep thinking about how I’ve done nothing to the schoolroom. I did buy some back-to-school window clings in Aldi when I browsed the random “stuff” isle. You have to do that too because not all your ideas can be internally generated. They have to come from somewhere else that either sparks or inspires it. I’ve been working on my schedule so I have more time to fit in school. Last year my course was geography where we worked on things together. I have our 8th grade workbooks again.
