Fara Augustover is a speech-language pathologist, owner of Island Wide Speech on Long Island, NY and author of the children’s book, Harmony Hears a Hoot.

Five years ago, Fara worked at a nonprofit clinic in NYC, transitioned to school based while seeing clients part time privately. As her caseload grew and the commute to Manhattan became tiresome, she decided to repurpose space in her home and create an in-house clinic complete with a separate entrance, bathroom, and waiting room. 

Here's What We Discuss:

- Where Fara's desire to work independently stemmed from 

- How she transitioned from part-time to full-time private practice

- How she decided whether to do private pay vs. insurance, what her schedule should be, whether to stick with her primary specialty (aural rehab) or branch out, and more.

- How a former professor from SUNY Buffalo taught her an important lesson that has guided decisions in her practice

- Fara's easy to follow social media strategy

- Jena’s "aha moment" about private practice business plans

- How she became a children’s book author with a successful Kickstarter campaign
