138. Laying the Right Foundation: A Deep Dive Into 3 Pillars of an Ideal Practice

Question or comment? 🙋‍♀️ Send me a text message!

Today, my friends, we’re diving into something really important … how to lay the foundation for a thriving, successful, sustainable private practice.

If you’ve been doing this for a while, you already know that success isn’t just about getting more clients. It’s about building a practice that actually works for you … one that aligns with your values, your goals, and your life.  

So that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today, and also in next week's episode too, so you don’t want to miss that one either!

When I coach private practice owners, I repeatedly bring them back to the seven fundamental pillars that everyone needs to have to run a successful private practice.  In today's episode, we're taking a closer look at the first three:

Purpose – Why are you doing this? What’s the deeper reason that drives you, not just as a healer but as a business owner?

People – Who do you absolutely love working with? Which clients light you up so much you wish you had a whole day of people Just Like That?

Product – What are you actually offering (beyond your basic service)? And does that align with what you want to be doing?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to make sure you’re building a practice that you love (not just one that you tolerate 😒).
• The one thing that will set you apart from the rest of your field (and how to get your hands on a free worksheet that will help you to clarify it).
• The one essential pillar that supports the rest of your business (… because you can’t have a business without this one thing, folks!).

I’m so passionate about this way of looking at your practice for a reason. After decades of experience, I know first hand that when you do the work to implement these pillars into your practice, you will have the energy to do the kind of work that fills your soul. 🥰

So give this one a listen, because we’re laying the foundation for your future success.  Next week, I'll see you back here next week when we dig into the operational side of your practice with the next three pillars. 

Yum!
