Hello friends!!

Welcome back for some Moroccan spice seasoned pro's and con's!!

Some exciting news since we last caught up friends............We have launched our course:
Dream. Build. Thrive. Design your dream private practice!!
Everything you need to build your very own private practice.
Get in before midnight on Sunday the 7th for a jam-packed early bird bundle deal!!

Here is our list of pro’s and con’s after 4 years of running a private practice:

Pros:
1.Freedom – choice and control around the decisions you make in and out of the therapy chair! From how you work with clients to your schedule and hours. Opportunity to grow.
2.Autonomy around leave, holidays. Autonomy over where and what you give your time and resources to. Caseload autonomy.
3.Earning potential and financial freedom – what you put in is what you get out. Goodbye glass ceiling!!
4.You learn to respect your time. You learn your value. You grow in confidence, and you value your capacity SO much because you see where it’s going.
5.Helps you internalise your success and overcome imposterism.
6.Flexibility – everyday can look a little different!
7.Creativity – dipping your toes into different and fun area’s of business outside the clinical role.

Cons
1.Ebbs and flows of busy periods and abundance and periods of slower times (feast and famine) In our first year in PP we did not account for ebbs and flows, and this was a stressful time!
2.Pressure and responsibility –If anything goes’ wrong, it’s your mess to clean up.
3.Isolation
4.Overwhelm – so many hats to wear, so many roles to juggle

We also go into how we combat the con's!

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Helllloooo Thriving gang!!

Many therapists lack confidence in themselves and their abilities and think they need to know more before they can take the leap to start their own practice!!

OR

Maybe you're an experienced therapist who is eager to take the leap into your own private practice, it just feels way to overwhelming.

Well look no further! We are living proof of feeling the fear and doing it anyway!
We want to take you through we we did and what we WISH we did to get our private practice off the ground.

You don't need to have it all figured out to start ... you do need to start to figure it all out though.

In this episode we chat all things:

- The hustle

- Business plan

- Marketing

- Insurance

- Legal side of things

- Our mistakes and what we wish we did differently

It is our mission to help therapists redefine what it means to be a thriving therapist in Private Practice!!
