Do you find yourself chasing new ideas all the time, only to leave them unfinished? If you’re a therapist looking to expand your practice, you might be battling a case of “too-many-idea-itis.” But there’s a simple antidote: F.O.C.U.S., or “Follow One Course Until Success.Are you caught up in “too-many-idea-itis”? If you’re constantly dreaming up new programs, courses, and membership ideas (and starting half of them!), you’re not alone. This “condition” may sound like a childhood diagnosis from Doc McStuffins, but it’s very real for therapists expanding their practices. Luckily, I’ve got the antidote: F.O.C.U.S., or “Follow One Course Until Success.”
In today’s episode, I’m sharing the journey of discovering F.O.C.U.S. and why it’s been life-changing. We’ll explore why therapists often fall into idea overload and how a little science and a lot of focus can help you finally see results. Plus, I’ll share some tough lessons I’ve learned firsthand from my own “too-many-idea-itis,” and how you can use F.O.C.U.S. to avoid the same pitfalls.
Whether you’re just getting started with your first online program or juggling several projects, this episode will help you ditch the overwhelm and commit to one powerful path to success.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
- What “too-many-idea-itis” is (and why Doc McStuffins may be onto something with these names)
- The dopamine hit from new ideas, and why it can leave us with a pile of unfinished projects
- The myth of multitasking, backed by research from Stanford and Dr. Daniel Levitin
- How to protect your limited energy as a therapist and invest it in one high-impact project
- Steps to follow the F.O.C.U.S. strategy and start seeing real results in your business
If you’re ready to say goodbye to idea overload and embrace a focused, productive path, this episode is for you!
