43. How to Scale Your Speech Therapy Private Practice

Many people do quite well as a single provider in their speech therapy private practice. However, you’ll soon realize that there are only so many hours in a day, and that you can only see only so many patients during the week. With all of the other duties involved in a private practice, it can be very difficult to do everything yourself.

If this sounds familiar, it may be the right time to scale your speech therapy private practice and grow a team, but this can be tricky, and if done incorrectly, it can be devastating. If it’s done right, it can be one of the biggest rewards in your career, resulting in patients getting valuable assistance while providing jobs for others! In this episode, I discuss the 4 key components in scaling your speech therapy business and discuss other aspects to consider when scaling and growing a team.

Also, I also wanted to tell you we do have a space available for the Perfect student. If you go to privateslp.com/coaching, you’ll find two options there one is where you can fly in to Tucson. And it’s kind of like getting pushed into a big deep end of a swimming pool 12 feet, 15 feet, 20 feet whatever. You got the idea. Once you’re thrown into it, you’re going to learn superfast. You’re going to see how we bill it, collect it, document, schedule, handle referrals. We’re going to help you get credentialed. All that stuffs included, but it does take time and that means you’ve got to physically get on a plane, get in a car, get to sign work with those hand in hand and we’ll show you. But it does take commitment and it’s not free.
