#106. The One Thing We All Struggle With - and a Surprisingly Simple Fix

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

I want to get real for a moment folks. 

I want to talk about one aspect of growing a private practice that we all struggle with at one point or another.

It’s so exciting in the beginning, when you first get out from under the thumb of your employer and start your very own practice. 

There you are - running your own practice - and finally, you’re the one calling the shots! 🎉

But here’s the thing.  You’re also the ONLY one calling the shots, and sometimes that can feel scary, overwhelming, and…isolating. 🥹

If you’ve come from a hospital, agency or perhaps even another group practice, you were part of a team, a collection of professionals with different experience, skills, and perspectives. 

Anytime you weren’t sure how to handle something, odds are there were plenty of people around to ask for advice.

But when you’re in private practice you ARE the team. 

Because you’re the CEO of your own show now, and it’s all on you.

Growing a successful private practice can be many things … exciting, challenging, rewarding … but it’s not always roses and rainbows.  

Clients can be difficult.  Providers can let you down.  Toilets can get blocked 

(Yeah - that may be yours to handle, too. 😬).  

You might make strategic mistakes that could cost you money - or even your reputation.

And all of that is so much harder when you’re trying to deal with them in isolation. 

So, what’s a saavy CEO to do?? 

The antidote to isolation is connection.

There are lots of different ways to find this and in this episode, I’ll share some of my favorites.

In fact, in my own private practice, I recently launched a group for accomplished, professional women - the kind of people who don’t really think they need help. Total badasses - every one of them. 

And yet I see them light up when they experience this sense of connection and recognition inside the group … I see you, I get you, and oh my gosh, you get me too!!

It’s so powerful it gives me goosebumps. ⚡And I want YOU to experience this for yourself. 

That's what connection does for all of us - and that’s why I’m launching a summer workshop series that kicks off next week on June 3.

I’ll be teaching a series of three live and interactive workshops where you’ll be able to experience just how cool it is to be in the (virtual) room with others who are in alignment with you.  And the best part? It’s 100% free to attend. 

(But hey - I do need you to register so that I can give you access. This won’t be open to the public!)

You’ll find all of the details below. 

Get your name on my list, and mark your calendars.

Because life (and business) is so much easier when you don’t have to go it alone.

In the meantime, give this one a listen.  

Here’s to finding your tribe!
