THAT ALL SOUNDS AMAZING RIGHT? BUT BEFORE YOU JUMP IN, THERE ARE SOME PROS AND CONS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER:

 

–– The Pros

  • Online income offers a way to expand your impact and income without increasing your caseload

  • You also don’t need to expand to a group practice or move away from your current clients to fill a management role

  • You can use the clinical skills you’ve busted your butt to hone in a whole new, exciting way

  • You can move beyond the borders of your licensure by traveling more or serving clients/customers in other cities and countries.

 

–– The Cons

  • Coaching can tiptoe close to therapy and can walk an ethical line

  • There can be a technological learning curve

  • Online income streams are a different type of business and demand you to be a different type of business owner

  • As a therapist, you’re likely used to being in the background. Online income requires you to be seen and heard in a new or different way.
