Stop Overthinking, Start Earning: How to Finally Move on the Practice You Want with Susan Guthrie on Make Money Mediating #540

Susan Guthrie brings a solo episode that challenges one of the most common mindset traps among mediators, coaches, and conflict resolution professionals: waiting for the “right time.” If you’ve been circling the runway, stuck in planning mode while telling yourself you just need one more training, a better schedule, or a sign from the universe, this conversation offers the clarity and push you’ve been needing. Waiting feels responsible, but in reality, it’s a form of self-sabotage. Susan breaks down how this delay is costing you revenue, momentum, and confidence and how to shift into action now, without needing perfection. What  you’ll learn in this episode: Why “the right time” is a myth and how waiting is holding your business back The hidden fears that keep you in the waiting room How to reframe readiness and start small instead of not at all A simple 3-step action plan to move you forward in 48 hours The power of accountability and why telling someone your next step can make all the difference Announcing the upcoming launch of The Practice Accelerator with Susan Guthrie: a brand-new subscription for professionals who are serious about building a profitable, modern mediation or legal practice.
