Trish Williams, BA, BHScOT(c) is the super-savvy CEO of Spring OT in Calgary in the province of Alberta, Canada. Spring OT is a multi-disciplinary practice in which OT is the lead service provider. In this LOOONNGG and value-packed conversation with Trish, we discuss and learn:

How she got started with small steps and quickly grew her business.

How we as OTs struggle with being the “lead” in a multi-disciplinary practice.

Business systems she had to put in place as the business grew. (Spoiler alert: TRELLO!)

What Trish did when someone wanted to buy her business

Why your business shouldn’t rely solely on YOU as the business owner.

Why you need to focus on the numbers and understand your business finances.

Why it is OK to charge a fair price for your services or products!

Having a strategic plan as a business owner.

How we can be strategic with our time in learning content to run our businesses and in our social media management as entrepreneurs.

How to get over your insecurity to put your face on your social media accounts (HINT: focus on serving others!)

How and why she started building online content.

How you can structure your business to impact the most people using an ascension model of service delivery, and why this helps you think differently about pricing and packaging services.

Is OT licensure limiting our profession’s reach in online service delivery?
