- Work through the PPFM Analysis™ to determine if they are a true entrepreneur and if their business idea has merit.
- Explore and identify business and market venues.
- Learn how to set up a profitable business.
- Discover areas in which they can expand their business and practice.
- Identify alternatives to the traditional clinical practice.
- Create a business from “scratch”, focusing exclusively on their individual vision, purpose and goals.
- Dive deep into what it really takes to run a business and a practice.
- Develop business and marketing plans.

- And more.
All of our programs are designed to help you find quick solutions to building and running your business, saving you time, energy, frustration and money!
Different options are available to each Clinician depending on the level of need, individual goals and budget. Not all programs are appropriate for everyone. We work with each client to find a program that is appropriate for the individual’s situation. Here are some options for consideration.
Private Coaching Intensive VIP Day
If you are the type of Clinician who wants to move forward as quickly as possible, and if you are committed to implementing the plan developed during our day together, then you are the ideal candidate for the Private VIP Consultation Day.
We will spend the entire day focused on you, your business, vision and goals – whether you are just starting out, or have an established business you wish to grow. Together, we will:
- Develop (or redevelop) your “Big Vision” for your business and what it will look like when it’s created.
- Create and map out the exact strategies of what will need to happen for the business to match your vision.
- Provide you with step-by-step resources that offer a high degree of “plug and play”.

- Assist you to identify your ideal clients, the services you provide and the message you want to impart.
- Explore various revenue streams for your business.
- Identify and create systems to help you run your business.
- And so much more.
Together, and in person, we will accomplish more in ONE day than you would do in months on your own.
Our Coaching Programs
The NPBO™ Coaching programs offer something that can fit into every budget. They are appropriate for both the beginning entrepreneur as well as the seasoned business owner. One of the major benefits of these programs is the ongoing individual support that you receive while implementing the strategies that we help you develop for your business!
Gold Program
The Gold Program (our most popular program) is designed for the Clinician who wants to hit the ground running, moving forward as quickly as possible with their business development. This program offers four 30 minute phone sessions each month – that’s one session weekly to keep you moving forward in your business; plus it is the only program which includes a “Quick Start” 1-hour phone consultation to make sure you get started fast. Each phone session is recorded and you’ll receive the MP3 recordings so you can listen to them over and over again.
In addition, you’ll receive unlimited email support, a review of your marketing materials, and free access to all NPBO™ hosted teleseminars/webinars for the duration of the program. As an added bonus, Gold program members receive 9 months free access to NPBO™, our private membership site. Ongoing membership in NPBO™ will provide you with a great many benefits, including, but not limited to the opportunity to network with other entrepreneurs, participate in additional monthly learning opportunities and participate in member-only Q&A calls.
Silver Program
The Silver Program is for the Clinician who wants to move at a slower, more deliberate pace. This is good for entrepreneurs who are working for someone else while building their business. In this program, the Clinician receives three 30 minute coaching sessions per month with recordings and limited email support. Further support is added with complimentary access to NPBO™ for 6 months (see Gold Program above for member benefits).
Group Coaching Program
Our Group Coaching Program is a new option that appeals to those who work best in small group environments. Each group is limited to 5 participants in order to ensure that each individual is given adequate “floor” time. This program includes two 60 minute calls per month and a private forum for participants. This program carries with it a 6 month commitment in order to assure your success. All participants are required to sign confidentiality agreements.

Bronze Program
Our “Stay-On-Track” – Bronze Program for those who have been through any of our other programs (Gold, Silver, Group), or the Private Consulting Day. This program includes two 30 minute calls per month and is an excellent way to keep you on track with the work done in prior programs.
Workshop Options
This option was added at the request of several Nurse Practitioners and organizations. It is best for clinicians wish to experience an intensive workshop option of 1-3 days, essentially condensing our Business Startup System into an intensive program. Participants can expect to leave with the tools, forms, plans and more that are needed to move forward immediately with business startup. Workshops can be tailored to the need of the group as well and can occur at your location or mine. Focused Coaching: What can you do in an hour? Plenty! You'll be surprised what we can achieve together in just an hour. With our focused coaching program you receive a questionnaire designed to help us target your exact needs and goals so you get the most out of your session.
Have questions? Not sure what you need? No worries, just email me at our Help Desk and we will work with you to find the best program based on your needs, goals and budget.
