Welcome to my first official blog post.  I have now entered into the unchartered waters of 100+ million bloggers worldwide.  This is an alarming statistic when you consider the fact that only five years earlier the number was listed at five million.  Talk about missing the boat!

And yet, my effort to blog as a mental health professional and to blog on this particular topic is, in fact, a rather unique effort.  Why?  Well, precisely for the same reasons that I have become so invested in researching sales and marketing concepts for mental health professionals – because while 100 million people have a blog in some way, shape or form very few in our industry are actually a part of that astounding figure.

This blog is designed to offer readers in the mental health field useful tips, resources and insights pertaining to sales, marketing and business development ideas.  My hope is that it will contain information that will be of direct benefit to your career in the field.  So…

• If you find yourself trapped in a state mental health system on the verge of sweeping change then this blog is for you.
• If you’re a successful private practitioner looking to expand or make your business life easier then the information here will be of considerable interest.
• And if you are looking for work without success and asking yourself why in the world you ever chose to enter this field I say fear not! This blog will offer information that will help you find opportunities you may never have known existed.

I look forward to sharing all that I uncover!  Look for my next post in one week.
