One of the most common patterns I see among clinicians turned practice owners is that they struggle to pull the trigger, uncertain key things necessary to build a successful business…

For many that "thing" is hiring … whether their first employee, or even their fifth. It's a process that makes them cringe, and therefore, is often put off way too long.

The schedule is getting fuller. Their responsibilities are growing. They know hiring would likely help them move forward. Yet instead of taking action, they find themselves stuck in a cycle of hesitation.

Not because they are lazy.

Not because they lack ambition.

But because hiring feels overwhelming.

In this episode, I coach a Mastermind member who finds herself in exactly that situation. Her practice is growing, her responsibilities are increasing, and she knows she probably needs to hire. The problem is that when she thinks about recruiting, onboarding, management, payroll, and everything else that comes with bringing on an employee, the entire process feels so daunting that she ends up doing nothing instead.

Hiring does not have to start with your dream full-time clinician. Sometimes the smartest move is learning how to attract, evaluate, and onboard the right person for the next small role first.

If you want a deeper step by step system for that process, my "How to Attract Top Talent, Manage Like a CEO, and Fill New Clinicians' Schedules With Patients As Quickly As Possible" Masterclass walks through how to attract better employees, onboard them so they add value quickly, and manage them in a way that actually supports growth.

Most hiring advice focuses heavily on recruiting and interviewing, but what happens after someone joins your team can have an even bigger impact on whether they become a successful long-term employee.
