I created the word "therapreneur"TM and find it fits so many in the healing profession. Glad it resonated with you! I wish you amazing success with the entrepreneurs you work with, Karilee. Warmly, Casey Karilee,

NICE Hugs, Casey Elizabeth,

It's enjoyable to work with entrepreneurs in helping professions. They're warm, caring people, and many of them are just starting to learn how to get past the "seat in chair" limitations of their original business concept.

It seems like it will help many people both in terms of their own mindset but also to show the OPTIONS they have. The world is only as limited as your ideas, right! I am currently in a very interesting path as I hope to start graduate school next fall (2011) to be an MFT. I am doing a ton of work on myself in preparation for journey towards helping others. In that process I've come to see that private practice (a portion of my vision) does not HAVE to be isolating. My goal in the next 6 months is to build an organic group of local therapists (across all divisions of MFT, social work, LP's, etc) along with graduate students in counseling programs, who wish for SOCIAL connection with other private practice therapists along with some "nuts and bolts" help from sharing about credit cards, forms, HIPPA, etc. etc.. But most of it will be social. This profession doesn't have to be so isolating. I've decided part of my passion and entrepreneurial spirit must be to create the world *I* want to have when I graduate and face isolation. I love introverts and believe (hope?) I have designed a way, with help from my husband (an introvert in private practice) for introverts to feel warmth, connection, and honest networking opportunities with others without the anxiety, sales-pitches, our fat wallets necessary to be part of most of those types of groups. Only time will tell! Perhaps your next book after this one is how to slow down ones brain from flooding with ideas. While I act on VERY few of my ideas, I do sometimes wish I could just shut off my brain. ;-) Casey, I am so glad you’re writing that next book!

I just had lunch with someone from my networking group. We were talking about my group presentation that I did yesterday in which I explained that the various work that I do (counselor, speaker, writer) all falls under the heading of "helping people live well." His comment was that sometimes people get confused because they don't know if I'm a writer, speaker or counselor! How can they refer if they don't know which box I'm in?
