There are a lot of people in our audience who are either thinking about creating a group practice or they are very early on in the process. Here's a hint: sometimes creating success is simply avoiding failure early on. I know that's overly simplistic, but it's totally true.

The group of 16 people who joined me for the recent Catalyst Project session were incredibly engaged and, frankly, a lot of fun - so much so that we're going to host another six-week session in May. If you're in the early stages of growth for your business and for yourself personally, then make a point to enroll. Here's the link: https://polarishealthcarepartners.com/catalyst/
