Where do you see your lactation private practice in ten years? 

If you haven't thought about it don't worry, in the beginning sometimes just focusing on the newness of your practice fills you up. But there may come a day where you start to daydream about the potential and possibilities of your private practice.

In this episode, we are giving you our top tips on how you can dream of where you want your business to be and what to do with all those ideas in your brain. (Hint, it involves something sparkly.)

“The next million-dollar idea might be sitting inside of your brain right now because you made a connection between a need and an innovation, a way to solve a problem. It could be in your head right this second but we don't give ourselves a chance to think about that.”

In this episode, we will cover:

• Looking at your business ten years in the future (3:35)
• The first question you should ask yourself when dreaming about the future (9:24)
• How you might have the next million-dollar idea in your brain right now (16;33)
• The importance of creating blank spaces in your life (20:06)
• The best way to get all those ideas out of your head (25:10)
