Awesome!

Such good discussion and insights. I must admit that I’m quite overwhelmed. Since I’m not taking on individual clients, I’m not going to use a client management platform.

As for phones, I definitely want a separate phone line for my business. My brother-in-law has a line for his business that’s about $10/mo, and it goes directly to his main cell…[Read more]

You all are having some great discussions!

Regarding phones, I hated the idea of carrying around two phones. I decided on using an app that I have on my phone and laptop called Dialpad. It works great for me but one of my colleagues who took this course with me tried it and didn’t like it. Just goes to show how personal styles differ!

Good afternoon!

My name is Deborah Edwards, and I am fairly new to Health Advocacy in this particular manner. I have wanted to venture out into Health Advocacy for years, but did not know how to go about it, and felt alone in this particular subject. I have been advocating on behalf of family members since 2012. I first started when my hubby…[Read more]

Yes Julie! You just need a physical address in the state in which you’ll provide the services. I’ll be my own registered agent also.

Hi Emily,

Your BIL’s law firm is an official registered agent? I suppose so.

I was planning to get a PO Box on Friday. The PO Box allows you to use the street address of the post office – and I would use that as my business address on my website. But it’s still a PO Box and California does not allow formation of LLCs with PO Boxes.

Neither can…[Read more]

Hi Stephanie,

Looks like I can do this is California as well. However, I live in a condo and not a house and oftentimes mail gets mis-delivered among all the unit boxes. I’m also not available all the time to personally receive critical mail documents. Your post is helping me think things through.

Hi Emily,

Some things I’d like to read in someone’s (wink) blog:

How does a medical bill get created?
Are there legal requirements for what every medical bill must contain?
What are codes and what do they mean?
How long after my medical service is rendered must I be presented with a bill?
How does a biller determine a due date and are due dates…[Read more]

Thanks Dalia!

I believe that a dedicated cell phone number (if not a separate phone as well) will be important for me too. I want to know that when my business number rings it’s going to be someone inquiring about my services, a spam call, or a misdial wanting me to deliver them a pizza. I just want to be in a business frame of mind when the b…[Read more]

Hi, Julie!

I wanted a second cell phone, to know exactly if the call is from a client or my family and friends. And also wanted a tablet with internet instead of looking wi-fi or hot spot connections for the laptop while traveling to visit clients, which may not be very secure. I thought in a prepaid cell phone, but the devices had to be paid in…[Read more]

I do think a blog will be helpful to my overall marketing efforts. It might entice visitors to stay on my website a bit longer, it should demonstrate particular areas of knowledge, demonstrate consistency and will help keep the website fresh for SEO.

The blog will be on my business website as one of the menu items. I’m going to name it, The J…[Read more]

Dalia…wow, just wow! I love what you wrote. It’s amazing! I’m definitely taking this from you. It’s too good not to take it!

The only thing is would change is that I would remove “as you may have experienced”. You’re already saying that he has experienced it by saying, “the reason you aren’t getting what you need”. Other than that, it is…[Read more]
