39. Press “GO” and Be Consistently Good

Let’s face it, many SLP’s worry about perfection. They want everything to be just right, families to like them all of the time, kids to come into the treatment all happy and leave excited, etc. Well, being perfect doesn’t exists – But being GOOD does! When starting out in this journey of speech therapy private practice, many people worry about getting things perfect, all of the time – “How does my logo look”, “How does this letterhead look when compared to the envelopes”, “What about my colors in the office, I hope they match”. Stop! Press GO and be consistently good and watch your business take off and flourish.

In this episode:

01:21 – Thanks again for emails and questions

02:11 – Building business that will afford you ability to have more time

03:02 – We spend time every year at same place in Hawaii

05:10 – Money is not always the most important factor in any decision

06:00 – Being consistent

A lot of SLPs are Type A, we know we want and it’s got to be this certain way. But with Private practice it can never be perfect. There’s no way that our treatments can ever be perfect. I mean think about it there’s too many variables. You’ve got different types of families, you’ve got different types of diagnosis, you’ve got different types of children, you’ve got different age groups, it can never be perfect. But something that I always tell my employees at our clinic is, “Don’t worry about being perfect. It just has to be consistently good.”
