#13: 3 Lessons Learned from 3 Years in Private Practice

20 minutes

Three years ago, I opened the doors to my private practice — not knowing exactly what lay ahead, but trusting my vision, training, and purpose. In this milestone episode, I’m reflecting on 3 powerful lessons that have carried me through the highs and lows of building and running an independent clinic.

Whether you're just starting out or a few years into your own journey, these takeaways are ones I believe every private practice physician needs to hear.

In this episode, I share:

Why marketing never stops, even when your schedule is full

How ongoing learning makes you a stronger clinician and business owner

Why asking questions (and staying connected to other practice owners) is a superpower

A behind-the-scenes look at my growth over the past 3 years

Encouragement for wherever you are in your private practice path
