Today we’re diving into one of the biggest decisions private practice owners face: when to hire help. If you’ve ever found yourself drowning in scheduling, billing, or intake calls, or if your waitlist is stretching out for weeks and you’re feeling completely maxed out, you’re not alone. In this episode, we’ll talk about both the qualitative and quantitative signs that it’s time to hire: how it feels emotionally when you’re taking on too much, and the key financial and operational metrics that tell you it’s time to bring in help. I’ll break down the numbers, the workflow challenges, and the real opportunity costs of waiting too long. Plus, I’ll share strategies to overcome the fears and hesitations that so many of us experience when making that first hire.

If you’re on the fence about expanding your team (or just curious about the best way to do it), stick around. Let’s get into it.
