Dear Therapist Colleagues, 

If you are like most private practitioners these days, you can easily envision the practice you really want. This may be where you are now or where you'd like to be:.

You'd like a successful practice filled with the ideal clients that
energize you and make you happy to be called to this work.

	You'd like to enjoy a workspace that is inviting and inspires you to be your best when you work with clients.
	You'd like a successful practice with the ideal clients that energize you and make you happy to be called to this work.
	Of course, you'd also like a clear, comfortable marketing process that keeps a steady stream of referrals coming in.
	Somedays you may even entertain new possibilities of increasing your income and your reach - such as adding coaching to your mix - or maybe offering webinars.
	You'd love to feel regularly inspired when you connect with positive colleagues who believe in you and your vision.
	And, to put the icing on the cake, you want to have enough money in your bank account (month in and month out) so that you can enjoy your life, your interests, and your family.

Feels good, doesn't it? To savor the deliciousness of the vision?

Now, some coaching questions for you:

Take a moment and look at where you are with your practice now. How close are you to your vision?

If you are not living the vision now, what is missing?
How are you stopping yourself?

Sometimes it is as simple as you need to take action. Other times it is a missing skill-set and maybe you just don't know what to do.

Sometimes we are so tired because what we have tried isn't working and we need to find our motivation again.

That is why this year, I am bringing my mentors to you at the 2011 Practice Building Virtual Conference. These are the people I have paid tens of thousands of dollars to help me think, act and track my way to a full practice.

They will share specific strategies to get your phone ringing. But there is more - they will share what I think makes them successful - their thinking processes. They will discuss how they decide which marketing activities to do and how to manage their time.

In case, you don't know me, my name is Casey Truffo. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and also the founder of the International Therapist Leadership Institute and Be A Wealthy Therapist.

And I am betting we are a lot alike.

We are called to this work and we want to make a decent living doing this work we love. But how do we get those clients in? How do we find the right mentors to show us the way?

I remember when I was building my private practice, I read lots of books, took dozens of classes and tried many marketing activities. Some worked. Some didn't. I had so many questions. Most days I woke up with an endless to-do list and a finite amount of time. There were so many marketing activity choices and it all seemed so confusing. I didn't know where to focus or how to best use my time.

I decided to seek out the masters - those who have reached at least six figures in either their therapy or coaching practices.

I, almost literally, sat at their feet and absorbed as much as I could. I took their advice, massaged it so that it would work with my personality and then went into action. I learned how to build my business in a way that wasn't shameless self-promotion, but loving and helpful to potential clients. And the phone started ringing. A lot. It led to a full practice. It led to a mission of helping other therapists (and coaches) learn how to make a great living helping people.

And now I am bringing them to you...

Well, I want you to meet my amazing mentors. For two weeks in September, I will be having conversations with 20 heart-centered and uber-successful business owners via Livestream video. I will be asking them what we can all do to attract more clients, increase our income, do more meaningful work, and move into action easier. These are the people who have taught me (and continue to teach me) how to sort out, focus on and do what matters so that I have the success I want. I cannot wait to share them with you!

Practice Building Virtual Conference (PBC2011) - 
September 19-30, 2011 

10 days - 20 mentor-coach experts teaching us how to
Think. Act and Track Your Way To A Full Practice.
Dozens of strategies you can implement immediately.

hosted by Casey Truffo and the International Therapist Leadership Institute and co-sponsored by
Commonwealth Educational Seminars

Before I introduce you to our faculty, let me share who will benefit from this conference:  (1) If you are new to private practice marketing: Cut the learning curve and get started on the right foot. We have mentor-speakers teaching practical and specific marketing activities such as: websites and website traffic. building your practice with speaking. in-person networking to get referrals, resolving old money issues. digital ethics with social media. and how to book yourself solid. (2) If you've had some success but are hungry for more: This conference is going be a huge "sweet-spot" for you. You can get updates and refreshers on the marketing tools and techniques you may already be using. But you will get a glimpse (and some practical advice) about your possible next steps to success: everything from: doing webinars. mobile marketing. adding coaching to your menu of services. rmastering pay-per-click advertising. learn more ways to spread your message for greater impact. Plus, my mentors will show you how they make the tough choices everyday - how they find the time to both build the business with love and service the clients they adore. (3) For the Seasoned and Successful Private Practitioner: If you have been marketing for a while with great success, you know there comes a point when you have more opportunities than time. Topics and questions such as these will be answered: How do you know which activities will be the best for your future? When is it time to hire an assistant? More than ever, you need to have a decision-making process for choosing what you do. You want to be successful in a way that is sustainable - that doesn't burn you out. Hear from several mentor-speakers who will share with us how to stop the busy-ness and focus on what matters so we can do what we need to do to have the business we love. I have specifically chosen these mentors because their way of thinking has led them to success. This "up-level" way of thinking is what really gets me excited about my business, the future and my place in it. I think you are going to love the motivation these speakers provide!

Practice Building Virtual Conference (PBC2011) - 
September 19-30, 2011 

10 days - 20 mentor-coach experts teaching us how to
Think, Act and Track Your Way To A Full Practice.
Dozens of strategies you can implement immediately.

The 2011 Practice Building Virtual Conference is held over the internet. All you need to attend is an internet connection. Over the course of two weeks you will have the opportunity to listen to practice-building presentations from over 20 business building experts sharing with you their client attraction methods, strategies, and business building decision-making processes. You will leave this conference feeling extraordinarily motivated.

"How Wonderful That I Can Get CEUs!" Hi Casey, I love this Conference! Thank you for hosting this very convenient, educational, inspiring, and really diverse Conference. I've been waking up, listening to a talk, taking lunch with another talk, my break in the afternoon gives me another opportunity to listen, and during the evenings I catch up. How wonderful that I can receive CEU's. This is so important. The Presenters are incredible. I'm learning a ton!  Sara Bunce, MFT

In 2009, I, Casey Truffo, founded the International Therapist Leadership Institute. The words Therapist Leadership are lofty ones when you pause to think about it and I don't use them lightly. When we host a conference, such as this Practice Building Conference, we expect it to be about leadership. The practice building expert presenters on our faculty are leaders in practice and business building.

This is not an overstatement. You can save yourself plenty of trial and error and increase your confidence and skills if you listen and apply their ideas. They will cause you to think - they will challenge you, tickle you, and encourage you.

But what about networking with colleagues? I know many clinicians love to connect with new and old friends at in-person events. While we can't offer you the opportunity to hug your friends in-person, the "live chat" feature might be almost as good. In our previous conferences this year, many attendees have said that "live chat" is one of their favorite parts. People from literally all over the globe are connecting, sharing and commenting about themselves, their practices and what they are learning. In our recent conferences, several masterminding and practice building support groups have developed just from meeting in our live chat. Further, we will have social networking opportunities on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn where you can share what you are learning with your colleagues.

To repeat, here are some of the highlights:

* Strategies, tips and ideas from my hand-picked mentors designed to help you develop a plan to think, act and track your way to the business you really want.

• * 20+ hours of practice building ideas, method and decision-making processes with these intriguing speakers.

• * Flexible attendance options - watch now or watch and listen later.

• * Access to the video and audio recordings for up to one year.

• * Transcripts you can download to your computer (and print if desired.)

• * Networking opportunities with our mentor-speakers and your peers via our "live chat" feature.

• * No need to shut down your practice to attend an event.

• * No travel or hotel costs.

• * Up to 20 CE Hours for California MFTs and LCSWs, ASWB, NAADAC, and NBCC. Continuing Education credit is provided by Commonwealth Educational Seminars (CES), 1020 West Barnstable Rd, Marstons Mills, MA 02648.

"I Loved the Flexibility! I Rode My Horse While I Attended!" Unbelievably good! And, I was so energized after each presentation! Normally, in an 8-4 workshop I am COMPLETELY DRAINED!!! But, the opposite happened for me with your conference. I was able to walk around my home listening...which for me is invigorating, that I can "move" while learning. once I even rode my horse and listened and it was amazing. I knew I could go back to the audio if I needed to write something down. I will attend every year. I've told all of my colleagues about it too :) Thank you so much for such a great event. Lynn Hoyland, MA, LMFT

Your time and energy are precious so I have taken special care to make sure this is a Rich, Rewarding and Enjoyable Experience. Lest, I forget, you'll be in good hands with me, Casey Truffo, as your host and moderator and co-sponsored by Commonwealth Educational Seminars. In 2007, I wrote the book Be A Wealthy Therapist: Finally, You Can Make a Living While Making a Difference. My goal is to teach clinicians how to build their practices.  We must take care of ourselves financially and believe we are worthy of making a good living. We must become visible so our worldwide culture will see that there is qualified, ethical help for people who have life and relationship concerns. It is time for our profession to flourish. It is time for therapists as business owners to flourish. So, what do you think? Are you in?

I bet you are wondering about the tuition for the conference ....

"This Was the Best Course I Attended!" Dear Casey and Team, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed and valued the virtual conference you presented. Every single speaker offered excellent information that served to open doors to new ideas or clarify old ideas. The questions you asked the presenters were ones I also needed answered. I hope you offer this conference again next year. Thanks so very much. Terry Martin

"A Virtual Conference That Improves Your Exercise?" Hi Casey, I just listened to the first recording, the Kickoff Celebration, while I was doing my exercise walk. I felt so stimulated by everyone's introductions that I must tell you I ended up power-walking! Thank you. Margo Steinfeld, LCSW, MA, CGP

"My Husband Says Thank You - I Was Able To Do Laundry While I Listened!" I am enjoying this conference. My husband says thank you as I have been here and able to throw in the laundry on breaks! HAHA! Karen Page, MFT

Even the Speakers Loved The Conference! "Thanks Casey, I love being a speaker in your conference! You combine such a variety of intelligent speakers with leading edge topics - it is a win-win for us all. I am always looking for ways to improve my practice, so the recordings are extremely valuable for me." Carol Look, LCSW, DCH, EFT Master www.AttractingAbundance.com

Still wondering?

If you've read this far, you might be wondering if this is for you. It is a very different way of attending a conference. I have done everything I can to make this affordable and meaningful for you.

Regardless of where you are in your practice-building efforts - or where your budget is - there is something at this conference for you!

And if you are worried about the investment, just ask yourself these coaching questions about making the investment in yourself and your future:

1. If I improved my marketing efforts in a way that led to only one or two new clients, how much would that mean to me?

2. If I implemented some of the strategies designed to help me focus on what matters and reduce the busy-ness, what would that be worth to me?

3. If I was able to "hang out" at the conference with the very successful business owners (and "live chat" with my peers) how might my motivation, energy and time-management improve?

I hope the answers to those questions will lead you to invest in yourself..in your business and join us. My hope is that you will see that attending the 2011 Practice Building Virtual Conference just makes sense - financially, emotionally and energetically.

That said, if you have any questions or concerns, fill out the form below and my team and I will be happy to assist you.
