Speech Therapy Private Practice Is a Long Game

When I am working with others, I always stress the importance of dedication and persistence.  You have to remember that success in anything that we do happens over time.  So many people think that making a few changes in their life will automatically lead to a successful outcome.  In business, we must be cautious and take appropriate steps over time so that we can become successful.  We shouldn’t act in haste.  It’s also important to seek help from others.  Let’s be honest, we cannot do this alone.  We have to learn how to trust and delegate so that we can continue to grow and improve.  In this episode, I share some  insights on speech therapy private practice and how a successful business is built on long-term commitments, financial honesty and integrity.

Transcription of Episode Twelve:

Someone was asking me the other day about being successful. And they asked me “What’s the most important thing about being successful” and I really thought about that question because the answer is really simple – You got to be in this for the long call.

Well, Hello everyone! You’re listening to the Speech therapy Private practice Startup Podcast; this is episode number 12. 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.

Hey, thanks again for all the tweets, emails and also wanted to thank those who are emailing me about the Perfect Student. I still am looking for two students to mentor. And you are able to fly in to Tucson and come spend a week with me in Tucson. You are also going to have access to me on weekly calls and those can be either Skype or telephone. And you’ll have access to me via my personal email. You can come and learn the way we do our business here in Tucson, Arizona. Also it is not just a brick and mortar outpatient clinic that we have, we also have a Home health agency. So you can come and learn both aspects of that too. That always sparks some interesting people who want to try the Home health avenue as well.

Its got to be a perfect fit, so I want to make sure when you do email me please tell me a little bit about yourself and let me know what you’re up to, what you want to accomplish, if you are just starting out or you’ve been into the game about 2, 3 or 4 years. Let me know some background because I do email people back and I never hear back from them. So I just want those people to know this is not a free service but it is valuable information and again it is something that will change your life but its got to be the right fit. Just like gaining relationship you want to have a successful two-way relationship so that’s why am asking all these questions back and forth when people do email me. So let me know what you’re up to so we can work it out and make it happen for you because I would love to help you get your practice up and going. Even if its just starting out and getting you setup this is totally doable. And again for the right people its great value.
