Tired of feeling overwhelmed and giving up when it comes to getting your CEU course approved or your other income streams started?
I help therapists become approved continuing education providers and create other additional income streams too!
Michelle Risser, CEU and Diversified Income Stream Consultant
Imagine the sense of accomplishment and pride you'll feel when you finally start sharing your expertise through your CEU courses and other offers!
But first, let's acknowledge the very real hurdles standing in your way.
I don't believe in the word “excuses”. To me, that implies that a person is just lazy and wants to get out of doing the thing. And I know that is NOT the case for you or any of the smart, inspiring professionals I work with.
There are REAL barriers and obstacles that need to be overcome before you can move forward. And I’m here to help you knock them down.
-
The real struggle of carving out time in a too-busy schedule with multiple responsibilities
-
Overwhelm from too many ideas and not knowing which one to move forward with
-
Feeling stuck and not sure where to start
-
Stupid annoying old imposter syndrome
-
Not clear on what your topic should be
-
Blocked by the red tape and complexities of navigating CE povider applications
-
The dreaded marketing
-
You've already invested a ton of time and energy into your education because you are called to make a difference. Yet the reality of working in the field, with it's burnout-producing systems, is a drag.
These challenges make launching CEUs and other income streams a constant uphill battle, preventing you from reaching your full potential and making the impact you desire.
With the right support and guidance, you can overcome these obstacles and create your next exciting CEU course or other income stream.
Together, we're going to:
1) Prioritize the time
2) Reignite your motivation
3) Finally let go of that sneaky lying imposter syndrome
4) Uncover your unique topic
5) Sail through the details of approvals, red tape, and marketing
So here's what's gonna happen.
-
Instead of feeling overwhelmed and burned out, your days will be filled with purpose, impact, and dare I say...fun!
-
With new streams of revenue flowing in from your CEU courses and other offers, you'll have the freedom to create a schedule that aligns with your values and allows you to prioritize self-care and quality time doing the things you love.
-
You'll no longer worry when your therapy schedule is thin or you have cancellations, because you have other sources of income.
-
You'll wake up each morning excited about the day, knowing that you are going to be having fun and being creative, while making an impact on the lives of others and taking care of yourself.
-
Your new income streams will make it possible to invest in your professional development, attend conferences, and explore innovative therapeutic approaches.
-
You’ll find yourself seeking new opportunities to expand your knowledge and skills.
-
Your enthusiasm will be contagious!
-
Your days of feeling stuck, uninspired, and overwhelmed are over!
So how are you going to get there from here?
My FOCUS framework will take you from “I know I want to do more, but I don’t know where I would even start” to “I just launched my thing and it was amazing!”
-
F: Find your lowest hanging fruit
We start by exploring the options available to you and deciding on one, and only one to start with. Most of the people I work with have TOO many ideas rather than not enough, so we will determine your “lowest hanging fruit”, which is the idea that you can get out into the world the fastest and with the least amount of friction.
-
O: Overcome obstacles
You know the junk that gets in your way? Not enough time, energy, or motivation, not clear on your topic, overwhelmed by administrative red tape and tech? We can use your time to solve all of that. -
C: Create your CEU course or other income stream
When you are ready, I can help you create the thing! This includes hands-on, done-with-you help with your CE Applications, outlines, slides, certificates, tech, marketing, and whatever else you need. If I don’t know how to do something, I’ll help you find out. I’ll be working tirelessly side by side with you to get it done. -
U: Use your unique and authentic voice
I’ll help you find that magical special sauce that only you can provide. This is the intersection of your passion, training, expertise and personal life experience that is going to make your CEU courses and offers SHINE! -
S: Stay sustainable!
Finally, I can help you create a repeatable system that works for YOU and fits into your life, so you don’t do what I did the first year and burn yourself out working 24/7. This needs to work for you and your life in the long run, NOT be a sizzle, fizzle, and burn out type of situation.
Here are some of the things I help people with:
-
Help with navigating systems and paperwork.
You bring the big ideas, I’ll handle navigating the details. Done-with-you course planning, copywriting, marketing, templates and whatever else you need.
-
Templates and Tools:
I’m a big nerd so you don’t have to be. If I have it, I’ll share it with you. This includes
My ready-to-use templates for application documents like course evaluations, CEU certificates and grievance policies
Marketing and social media templates
Automated system for delivering course evaluations, post-tests and certificates for free
-
Expert Assistance to Simplify Your Path to Success
As a social worker, I often joke that I have a “masters degree in paperwork”. But it’s true. The people who work with me say that I am REALLY good at taking detailed, complicated small print and breaking it down into simple action steps. Details are my superpower!
Hi!!!!
I'm Michelle Risser.
I'm a business Coach, Consultant, Strategist, Tomato, Tomahto. I don't know what the heck to call myself.
You see, when I think of coaching I think of "You already have all of the answers, and I'm here to guide you on your journey of discovering them".
And that's NOT what I do.
What I do do is ask you some targeted questions to help you find your most clear and direct path forward to meet your goal. That's consulting.
Then I'll tell you exactly how I think you can get there fastest. That's strategy.
✨ I will break complicated things down for you into simple action steps.
✨ I will do things WITH you, like buckling down and helping you write your CEU objectives or marketing copy, or getting your automated post-test/ certificate delivery process set up.
✨ Or I will also do things FOR you, like provide templates for a grievance policy or PowerPoint slides, or making you a video with feedback on your course agenda or freebie idea.
This is one of the things my clients/ students really appreciate about me- I don't mess around and I over-deliver. If I can help you with something, I will.
But I'm also ready to step in when imposter syndrome shows up and you need a pep talk or a (loving, encouraging) kick in the pants.
I'm a trauma therapist in my day job, I'm a softball mom, and I'm obsessed with knitting. Oh! And I recently joined a rowing team and row on a crew with other breast cancer survivors. I did NOT have that on my 2023 BINGO card but I'm in love with it.
Let me help you take all of those big, wild, messy, beautiful ideas and turn them into additional income streams that are going to help you overcome burnout, and don’t require you to pull your hair out, give up your license or leave the field.
Don't take it from me, take it from my happy clients and students!
