193: Gamify the Grind: How to Fall in Love with the Boring Stuff in Private Practice


Listen Later

Let’s be real — private practice isn’t always glamorous. In this episode, we're unpacking the unsexy truth that success often comes down to doing the same simple things over and over... and learning to love it.

We’ll talk about why boredom is a sign of growth, how to reframe repetitive tasks as rituals of success, and why gamifying the grind might be your best strategy to stay motivated, creative, and consistent.

Whether you're losing steam, avoiding your to-do list, or craving that early-day excitement again — this episode will help you fall back in love with the work that actually moves the needle.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why boredom is normal — and necessary — in private practice
  • How nurse entrepreneurs sabotage momentum by chasing novelty
  • The mindset shift from “I’m bored” to “I’m building”
  • Easy ways to gamify the boring parts of business
  • Real-life examples of turning repetition into results
  • Why loving the boring stuff is what actually leads to big growth

Challenge of the Week:

Pick one “boring” task in your business — follow-ups, systems, admin, content batching — and gamify it. Add points, create a visual tracker, or reward yourself for showing up. DM me what you picked!
