Practitioner
As a practitioner you need many helpful tools that help you automate processes and are a great assistance, sometimes even a necessity. On this page you will find all the tools and devices that I use and find most helpful. I want to help people with this page to build their business easily and quickly, benefiting from my experience and not having to spend hours of time to find the right tools. Maybe it will also help you avoid mistakes I made. I am happy to hear from anyone who successfully applies the Medical Medium info as a practitioner. If you need more help setting up for your self-employment, please book your free initial consultation!
Paperbell is the most important tool of all for me! Paperbell is a coaching software that makes my life a lot easier! How does it work? Paperbell handles all coaching processes for me in a fully automated way. Which processes are these? Scheduling, beautiful landing pages, online checkout, contract signing (mandatory), group coaching and live workshops, digital product sales, free discovery calls, intake, client overview and complete history, video call integration (Zoom automatically creates a link and sends it to you and your client when successfully booked), automated messaging, subscription and payment plan sales, client notes and much more! It’s just awesome! No need for Calendly, Jotform, Acuity etc. It’s all in one! AND the price is pretty fair for what you get!
Right up front, please separate business and personal accounts from the start, otherwise you’ll get confused very quickly! As a self-employed person, you will have to write invoices and you need a good accounting software that is linked to your business account and your PayPal business account. Here you’ll have all your income and expenses at a glance and you can even forward everything directly online to your tax accountant. All transactions that come into your business accounts are automatically synchronized on the accounting software, so you never lose track. I use SevDesk and am very happy with it. However, I can also recommend LexOffice. It’s important to make sure your accounting software also has easy integration with PayPal and your business account. Some accounting software is easier to link with certain business accounts because they have partnerships. For example, Qonto and N26 link very well with SevDesk. With LexOffice the online banks Kontist, Qonto and Holvi can be linked very well. In principle, all business accounts can be linked to the software, but some are much easier. I made the small mistake of linking Kontist with SevDesk. It all works, but was a little more cumbersome.
Need help with branding colors, a great design for your freebie or e-book? Maybe you want to have a great logo design or you need individual templates for your Instagram. Fiverr is a freelancer platform where you can hand over your work to others for small money and thus 1. get better results and 2. have more time for the really important things. I’ve used Fiverr a few times and love it! Check out Fiverr and get support for your business! You want to recommend Fiverr to other people and become an affiliate partner?

I’ve also used Creative Market myself to buy pre-made templates for my Instagram posts. Similar to Fiverr, it’s important as an entrepreneur to hand off many things to other people that you just don’t have the time or inclination for. Now when I want to create a new post, all I have to do is add my content and branding colors into the pre-made templates and my post is ready! Time is money! Creative Market is cool!
If you want to start your own podcast, you need a podcast host that uploads your podcast to Spotify, iTunes and Co. Unfortunately, there is no other way. I chose Buzzsprout and I’m very happy with it. If you want to start a podcast, be really sure to follow through, a good website with newsletter and blog are more important than a podcast for now. However, a podcast is a really cool thing and hopefully I’ll do more podcasts in the future, it’s just a lot of fun and people like to listen to long podcasts too. It’s a great way to share a lot about yourself and your experiences. The attention span on for example Instagram or TikTok is much lower, people go to podcasts with a different expectation and are not looking for short info. If you get a subscription at Buzzsprout using my link, you get 20 euros/dollar for free after the second payment! I record my podcasts with this microphone.
