No Apps For This

I was thinking the other day after speaking to this gentleman about his private practice.  With all of the technology at our finger tips, there is no substitute for old-school drive, desire, motivation and “elbow grease”.  He wanted to know what app that I used to organize “this” and complete “that”.  He kept asking what programs would sort out “this problem” and offer solution for “that” scenario.  At the end of the conversation, I encouraged him to not over-think speech therapy private practice startup and suffer from “analysis paralysis”.  I then encouraged him to get into action.  Because action and only action causes change.   In this episode, I discuss the original solution to getting things done:  Do it!

Here is a link to the Univision segment that was filmed at Therapy Group of Tucson, PLLC in Tucson, Arizona.

Transcription of Episode Eleven:

I was talking to this guy the other day, and he was like “What do you do to get your things done, to make things work and how do you remember payroll, how do you do your referrals, how do you return your phone calls, you have a certain time of a day?” he was picking up my brain about all this things and I said, “No, its really old school, you just do it.”

Well, Hello everyone! You’re listening to the Speech therapy Private practice Startup Podcast; this is episode number 11. My name is Kyle Meades and I’m a speech pathologist since 1993 and these podcasts are designed to help you improve your business and your life one podcast at a time.

I am so thankful you guys are listening and its just really need to get the questions, feedback, tweets and emails. I actually get couple of phone calls and just want to say please don’t because am busy in the clinic and I would be more than happy to talk to you via email so shoot me an email at [email protected].

Now we just stand really busy at the clinic. We just had a couple of new hires. We are seeing more kids and adults than ever before. I just little find a new contract here in town to see more adults. I was actually talking to couple of therapists and they really enjoy treating the adults. And that’s one thing I want to talk to you about today is having a good mix in your job. If you do one thing all the time you may get bored with it. Its just a fact of life, its just something that happens to all of us. But it’s nice to have a healthy balance and a healthy mix. So what I have done to keep people happy in the clinic is bringing in more adults so we can treat the adult population as well. And I’ve always done that ever since day one when I started the clinic.

I have always focused on not just kids but adults as well because we deal with traumatic brain injury strokes, despeja voice fluency,
