139. Three Operational Pillars to a Profitable (and Enjoyable!) Private Practice

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

Did you catch last week's episode where we talked about the first 3 pillars that lay the foundation for an Ideal Practice?

If you didn’t, I think it will help if you listen to that episode first. Check out Episode #138. Just be sure to come back here afterwards so you can get the rest of this oh-so-helpful info.

This week, we're diving right back into those core principles as we unpack the operational side of things. Today, let’s talk about Process, Payment, and Promotion.

This is where the magic (and sometimes the mayhem) happens. :)

As we explore these 3 pillars, you’ll learn about some of the biggest mistakes that I see private practice owners make.  You’ll also hear how to set yourself up for success, so you can streamline your processes, get paid what you’re worth, and promote your practice with ease and authenticity.

Sound good?  I thought so too!  

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why healthy business boundaries will make you not only more productive, but also more profitable.
• The bare minimum systems that you’ll want to have in place (and why you’ll never be able to scale without them).
• The one (VITAL) part of the payment system that most of us forget. 😬
• And why you still need to market your business, even if you have a full practice.

I’ve also got, not one, but TWO free tools you can get your hands on right away. Both can help bring you clarity around some of the concepts we're talking about today.

I know you’re busy. I know you’ve got a lot on your plate, but the concepts I’m sharing here are key pillars that every private practice needs in order to be profitable, enjoyable and sustainable.

So give this one a listen, because anything that helps to make your practice stronger, and healthier is never wasted time. It’s an investment.

Go on, spend the time. Your future self (and practice!) will thank you.
