The Leveraged Practice Podcast

Is free content attracting "freebie seekers" or does it actually work to get clients into your services and programs?

In this episode, Stephanie breaks down the truth about the "free stuff" strategy, what works, what doesn't, and what kind of lead magnet actually brings the right people into your business.

You'll hear how most health professionals and private practice owners are unintentionally giving away too much, repelling buyers instead of attracting them. Stephanie shares one powerful strategy that flips this script and turns your freebie into a trust-building, client-converting machine.

Join Stephanie's upcoming Lead Magnet Fix workshop where you'll learn how to implement this strategy into your own business.

Welcome back to The Leveraged Practice Podcast! After a brief pause, I'm back behind the mic to share why I've been intentionally "missing" and what's been happening behind the scenes as I restructure and grow my business on purpose — for profitability, sustainability, and freedom.

In this episode, I open up about:

• Why patience (my least favorite skill!) has become a necessary part of my business evolution

• The reality of organic growth vs. intentional growth

• The behind-the-scenes work I've been doing to create lower-cost offers, build stronger backend systems, and restructure for long-term scalability

• How business growth without structure can leave practice owners overworked and underpaid — even as their business gets bigger

• Why it's critical to create multiple access points for clients at different stages while building true client experiences (not just self-study courses)

• How I'm personally helping health professionals and practice owners grow intentionally

If you've ever felt like your business growth has outpaced your backend structure — or you're stuck in the same place even as more clients come in — this episode will help you reflect on where you are and what the next intentional step might look like.

👉 Interested in working with me this summer? I'm opening up a limited number of 1:1 coaching spots and small group mastermind seats to help you design backend systems, scalable offers, and client experience pathways that support profitable growth.

How do you sell your online program without sounding salesy or making promises you can't guarantee? If you've ever felt stuck between wanting to help more people and fearing that your sales messaging might be "too much," this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm diving into the sweet spot of ethical and effective sales messaging—especially for health professionals like you who want to grow your programs without feeling out of integrity.

You'll hear:

• Why vague sales copy is costing you clients (even if your program is amazing)

• The spectrum between "unflavored" and "sensational" marketing—and where YOU should land

• Real examples of how I marketed my IBS program using honest stats (not hype)

• Why Harvard's approach to selling applies to your practice too

• How to confidently talk about results without overpromising

Whether you're launching your first online program, refining your messaging, or trying to scale your sales, this episode will help you clarify what you say, how you say it, and why people need to hear it.

👉 Being ethical doesn't mean being invisible. It's time to own your value and share it clearly with the world.

This episode of The Leveraged Practice Podcast explores a crucial question for private practice owners: Does your practice need a passive income product or a passive income product suite?

With the rapidly changing landscape of healthcare, education, and how people consume information, creating passive income streams has become more relevant than ever. Stephanie Claremont, CEO and founder of The Leveraged Practice, breaks down why the answer is a resounding yes and shares actionable insights on building these products to enhance your practice.

• What is a Passive Income Product? Understand what a passive income product is and how it can benefit your private practice. From digital downloads like workbooks and guides to self-study courses, there are many ways to create products that generate income without ongoing time investment.

• Why Your Practice Needs Passive Income Products:

• Align with Modern Learning Trends: People are increasingly learning online through affordable and convenient products.

• Stand Out as an Expert: Don't let less qualified individuals dominate your field—your expertise is needed!

• Create Flexibility and Reduce Burnout: By supplementing your income with passive products, you can reduce your one-on-one workload and avoid burnout.

• Who Are Passive Income Products For?

• People with budget constraints who can't afford one-on-one services.

• Those who are short on time and prefer the convenience of self-paced learning.

• Clients for whom your service isn't a massive priority but still need guidance.

• Individuals seeking accessible and lower-risk ways to engage with your expertise.

• Real-World Example: I share my journey from creating my first online program in 2013, generating $7,000, to publishing a book called The IBS Master Plan. This experience showed me the power of passive products in helping more people while reducing my workload.

• The First Step Strategy: How passive products serve as a "first step" for potential clients, lowering the barrier to entry and building trust, ultimately leading to more significant opportunities, such as group programs or one-on-one services.

• Passive income products are not just an opportunity but a necessity for health professionals in 2025 and beyond.

• They help you build a more sustainable practice, reach a broader audience, and create a better work-life balance.

• These products also offer a solution for clients who need flexibility, affordability, and convenience.

If you're ready to create your own online programs, courses and passive income products, I invite you to check out the Healthcare Impact Academy Membership. Our academy offers step-by-step guidance, an incredible community, and free access to software that simplifies the entire process.

Welcome back to The Leverage Practice Podcast! In this episode, we are thrilled to announce the official launch of the Healthcare Impact Academy Membership. This is the first of it's kind - a game-changing opportunity for healthcare professionals to create and grow online programs, courses, groups and products with expert guidance, resources, and community support.

• Why I decided to completely flip my business model and transition to a membership structure.

• The challenges healthcare professionals face when trying to start or grow online programs.

• How the Healthcare Impact Academy Membership breaks down barriers with accessible pricing and multiple support tiers.

• A full breakdown of what's included in the membership, from courses to live workshops to an all-in-one HIPAA-compliant software platform.

• How this membership will help you build a scalable, profitable business while maintaining work-life balance.

For over a decade, I've worked with health professionals - dietitians, doctors, mental health professionals, therapists, OT's, SLP's, PT's, and more to help them create, market, and sell online programs for their practice. This type of arm to their business has allowed 700+ clients to reduce their overall working hours, decrease 1:1 appointments and increase their income.

One of the biggest challenges I've seen is the high cost of entry, with most traditional "business coaching" programs priced between $5,000 and $10,000 for only 6 months. While those investments can be valuable, many healthcare professionals hesitate due to the financial risk. As well, these kinds of programs give short term results, and we all know business takes years to develop to the level of success you desire.

That's why I've designed the Healthcare Impact Academy Membership to make high-quality education, proven strategies, tools, and support accessible at a fraction of the cost of traditional coaching and courses.

The membership is open for enrollment from Monday, February 24 through Friday, February 28 at midnight. This initial launch is focused on ensuring a smooth onboarding experience for new members, testing workflows, and refining the experience before scaling further.

We already have 140 pre-registered members and aim to welcome 100 more this week, making this an incredible opportunity to be part of our founding group!

• Extensive Course Library – Over 40+ micro-courses covering everything from lead magnets to program launches.

• Monthly Live Workshops – Action-focused sessions where you'll implement key strategies.

• Private Community Access – Connect with like-minded professionals, collaborate, and get support.

• All-in-One HIPAA-Compliant Software – Manage courses, sales pages, email marketing, and more—completely free with your membership.

• Support Tiers to Fit Your Needs:

• Standard Membership: Access to courses, community, and software.

• Premium Membership: Live Q&A calls and Monday-Friday tech support.

• VIP Membership: Small group coaching, hot seats, and deeper mentorship.

For this launch, we're offering a 33% discount on the membership. This is your chance to lock in the lowest price and start building or scaling your online program today!
