Episode 99: Preparing Over a Year
Today we'll be talking to Laura who is a Psych N.P. She's currently working full-time at an outpatient clinic for a hospital system. Laura wants to start her own practice and she has been presented with the opportunity to sub-lease a space at an established practice. She's looking to start an insurance-accepting mental health clinic but she's also interested in offering niche services within the same clinic. Laura comes to the show looking for guidance on the practice starting processes and how to prepare for success.
In this episode we had an interesting situation, Laura's under a one-year-long non-compete which prevents her from starting her clinic right away but provides her with a lot of time to make preparations and set up her clinic, like anyone in the starting phases of setting up a practice she needs to build a solid base for the business making all the preparations ahead of the clinic opening.
Having to wait before opening the doors of your business it's not a setback, but an opportunity to prepare and hit the ground running once you start seeing patients.

Episode 98: Don't Quit, Just Change It Up
Today we'll be talking to Autumn who is a dual-certified family and psych nurse practitioner, she's currently working full time on her own integrative psych practice where she provides counseling, nutritional assessment, neurofeedback, and psychiatric-based medication management. The practice has been open for a year and Autumn thinks it's not going too well, she's needing assistance in finding out where to go next with the practice.
In this episode we talk about the reality of business, there are times when an entrepreneurial endeavor just doesn't go well, sometimes a successful well-planned business will start doing badly, and other times a struggling one will improve. The main takeaway from our conversation is that you should never give up, you should be open to pivot, see the options you have in front of you, and make the most out of the situation taking advantage of your skills and the tools available to you.
You never really fail if you keep trying, you only fail if you give up!

Episode 97: Finding the Perfect Location
Today we'll be talking to Terry who is a Family N.P. Currently, he's working full-time at hospital-based urgent care while he's in the initial phases of starting his own men's health clinic. He has the basic setup for the clinic but needs help understanding the operations, patient flow, and some regulatory considerations as well as finding the perfect moment to actually open the clinic for business.
In our conversation with Terry, we touched on the basics of selecting the perfect location for your business, this decision could make or break your practice if you're choosing to go with a brick-and-mortar option, however as we've said in previous episodes a hybrid clinic it's the best solution, you give the patients different options to receive care which in turn will increase your volume and revenue, in-person care in a good location + a solid telemed solution will increase the chances of success.

Today we'll be talking to Lisa who is a Family N.P. Currently, she's working full time at a primary care clinic, Lisa started her own clinic about nine months ago where she focuses on primary care predominately, but also provides bio-identical H.R.T and weight loss but she wants to add more men's health and testosterone replacement therapy services and eventually transition to a full-blown functional medicine practice. Lisa comes to the show looking for help transitioning from insurance to cash and taking her practice to the next level.
Lisa's situation it's a perfect example that you need to taper change over time, making a series of big changes can damage your business, and being brash can lead to losses and problems down the line, you need to be patient and roll big changes slowly, that way your clients and your business can adapt to these modifications on services or prices.
Always protect your stability and income!!
