Hello everyone !
I read and follow the forum since a few months now, and I thought it's now time to introduce myself and be more active.
My name is Natacha, I'm 29, and I'm from France (north-east). I currently work as a speech and language pathologist (I have my own office). I also completed a training course as "Chief practitioner in Ericksonian Hypnosis" a few weeks ago. That's for the background. By the way, sorry for my poor english. I'm training and practising every day but I know I could do way better.
I read since several years a lot of personal development books, and am followed by a psychologist, because since I was a student, I don't feel well in my job. I don't have the "passion", I'm not cut out for this job, and in France, there are every day more and more taxes to pay, less and less money left for us. And also less and less involvement from patients, a lot of daily disrespect too. And, yesterday, I came to the building where I work with other health professionals, and I saw a bullet hole in one of the waiting room's windows. I don't know if it's my real "F*ck this event", but since I work, I'm telling myself I won't do this my whole life (and actually, not more than ten years before I would completely lose my mind), and this bullet hole in the window achieved to make me completely disgusted of this way of working.
I still want to help people (that’s why I chose this job at first, to help people), but I would like to do it my way, and not the way the government forces us to do.
Searching and browsing through french speech-therapists Facebook groups gave me some ideas of what I could do to help SLPs fulfill some needs. I try to stay at first in my “field” (speech and language pathologist), because that’s where I’m the most self-confident for the moment. I’m not a great salesperson, a great copywriter or a great I-don’t-know-what-else, and I will improve it for sure but for now, I think I already can make something nice within my competence field.
As summer comes, several patients take a break so I will have more time to develop my first idea, for which I will need to improve my sales and webdesign competences. I’m currently considering taking some udemy courses, but at first I would like to develop my idea. I need some execution crash-tests before the product will be usable. So, I will first work to make a usable (and sellable) version of the product, then I will send it for tests to “known” french speaking speech therapists who often test SLP products on youtube and facebook, and at the same time I will create a sales website.
That’s my “plan A” for now.
I just want to say a huge Thank You to MJ DeMarco for his two great books, I read them in english and I often re-read the pages I need, to be sure I go in the right way, with CENTS etc. For now, my product won’t have a huge scaling since it will be shaped for SLPs only, but I will work for a greater scale if the first version really helps people.
I’m glad to be part of such an interesting forum, truly a gold mine for those who don’t fear to go for it !
Have a nice day
If there are fellow Frenchies, I would be glad to hear from you ^^
