Transitioning from Solo Practice to Thriving Business: Insights and Strategies

In this episode of the Wise Practice Podcast, host Whitney Owens, a faith-based practice consultant, discusses with guest David Sturgis the mindset shifts necessary for therapists transitioning from solo practice to successful business owners. They explore David's journey from working in psychiatric care to starting a private practice in 2018, emphasizing the challenges and strategies related to finances, time management, and seeking proper guidance. They delve into the importance of changing one's mindset around asking for help, money, time, and marketing to grow a faith-based practice. Additionally, the episode covers the upcoming mastermind group led by David, aimed at solo practitioners aspiring to grow or improve their businesses by addressing key aspects such as branding, mission, website SEO, expenses, taxes, profit, developing referrals, and key performance indicators (KPIs). The episode is rich with advice on making informed decisions, investing in oneself through business coaching, and aligning one's practice with personal and professional goals.
