Welcome to The Inspired Therapist Podcast! Your host Leanne Peterson helps therapists build successful careers and market their private practices while ensuring that they remain an inspired guide to their own clients. Today she has an important message about ways to both avoid and learn from burn out.

If you like to work and push yourself hard you can hit burn out without any warning signs. So, if you’ve already hit this point let’s use it as an opportunity for self-evaluation to see what we can do that would be useful for us moving forward. Main examples include adjusting our schedule and outsourcing tasks that aren’t meeting our “best and highest use.”

With scheduling we should ask ourselves if we’re doing activities at the right times of the day. Plan your most challenging tasks at the time of day when you feel the strongest. Also, some therapists like to schedule appointments back-to-back while others find that leaving themselves some breathing room is really beneficial.

Now, we have to start with making sure we’re doing the right kind of work. Do you feel “in the flow” when you’re working? If not, how could you refocus your work so that it is aligned with your strengths, and at least sometimes, feels fun and energizing? Picking the right specialty is paramount. This will ensure that the work you’re doing isn’t too far out of your comfort zone.

Lastly, take a day of rest. Matters of worship aside, everyone needs a day to unwind.

Welcome to The Inspired Therapist Podcast. Your host Leanne Peterson helps therapists build successful careers and market their private practices while ensuring that they remain an inspired guide to their own clients.

Today Leanne welcomes guest Craig Melby to walk us through the processes of finding the right office space and negotiating  smart lease terms so that our practices can function smoothly and profitably.

As you’re getting ready to open up your practice make sure you know where you fit in the market. Craig says there are 3 types of buildings: A, B, and C. Patients want to feel like the care they are getting is professional and valuable, so you need to position yourself in an office that’s nice, but not too nice.

Your potential clients will likely find you online, so prominent signage isn’t a priority, but location absolutely is. Backward engineer where your people are and position yourself there. If you sacrifice location, you’ll pay for it.

Now, when you begin to negotiate your lease, it’s likely that the square footage size of your deal may prevent a leasing agent from being able to fully represent you, so here are some things you may want to know how to do for yourself:

Try to hire a commercial real estate agent just to look over your lease and add in some clauses to protect you.

Building in as much flexibility to your lease as possible.

Watch out for the “as is” clause. Be sure to add in: “subject to hidden defects of building code violations for which the landlord shall remain responsible.”
