In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I'm going solo to speak to the people who are in the growth phase of their private practice journey, and not just the beginners. The growth phase starts after you get five private practice clients or more. Why? Because most people can see five private clients on the side of their job relatively easily. However, once you get to five clients and beyond, time becomes tighter and you have to decide whether to stay small or to grow your private practice in terms of more clients, which of course requires more time, but also lets you to be able to do more services. The problem is, some people get stuck there! That's where I come in. My job as a private practice business coach is to help you get through the messy middle as quickly and easily as possible. So in today's episode, I'm going to be talking about what the messy middle is, how to know when you're there, and if you're already in the messy middle and are feeling completely overwhelmed, the steps you need to take to get through it as quickly and easily as possible.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:What the messy middle of private practice is The real reason so many private practitioners get stuck in the messy middleThe difference between working on your business and working in your businessThe key to avoiding burnout as your private practice grows How the Grow program will help you tackle these challenges head-on If you're in The Messy Middle of private practice growth and want help navigating through it as quickly and easily as possible... please visit www.GrowYourPrivatePractice.com to learn more about how we can help support you.Whether you want to start a private practice or grow your existing private practice, I can help you get the freedom, flexibility, fulfillment, and financial abundance that you deserve.

Dr. Brenner blends his lifelong passion for music with leadership consulting, offering a unique approach that uses musical principles to help leaders and teams perform in harmony. This conversation uncovers the power of rhythm, communication, and collaboration in leadership—and how leaders can apply the CHORDS framework to foster stronger, more effective teams.Merging Music with Leadership MasteryDr. Brenner's dual identity as a professional musician and leadership consultant sets the tone for a refreshingly creative conversation. He discusses how decades of experience playing woodwinds—saxophone, flute, and tin whistle—has shaped his understanding of teamwork and adaptability. Just as a band relies on listening and responding to each other in real time, leaders must foster an environment where communication and respect are non-negotiables.At the heart of Right Chord Leadership is the proprietary CHORDS model: Communication, Harmony, Ownership, Respect, Direction, and Support. According to Dr. Brenner, neglecting even one of these "notes" can throw an entire team off-key. He emphasizes that high-performing organizations aren't built on rigid hierarchies, but rather on the fluid, collaborative interplay of roles—much like an ensemble working in sync.Josh and Dr. Brenner explore the pitfalls of overcomplication in leadership. While many organizations invest in tools and strategies, they often overlook the human factors that drive engagement.

In this week's episode of Female Empowered, host Christa Gurka is sharing a story she's never told publicly before - the story of the time she almost sold her business, Pilates in the Grove.This is part one of a two-part series where she'll walk you through the emotional, strategic, and operational journey behind trying to sell the business she built from the ground up. From a modest $2,400 investment in 2008 to a multi-location, seven-figure business, Christa poured everything into building something that could eventually operate — and be sold — without her.After being inspired by a panel of business brokers, Christa started prepping intentionally for a sale: systematizing operations, cleaning up financials, and evaluating business valuation. She even got to the point where she was under contract and this close to finalizing the sale. But at the very last moment, a surprise clause from the buyer's lender brought everything to a screeching halt.This episode is a candid look at what it takes to get a business ready for sale, what Christa learned from the due diligence process, and how she navigated the emotional fallout when the deal didn't go through. What You'll Learn in This Episode:How Christa grew Pilates in the Grove into a sale-ready businessThe operational and financial prep that goes into a potential saleWhy having systems and SOPs is essential — even if you're not planning to sellWhat it felt like to have a deal fall apart last-minuteThe mindset shifts and resilience I had to tap into after the falloutMake sure you're subscribed to the Female Empowered podcast so you don't miss Part 2 next week, where Christa will share what happened after the deal fell through — and what she's doing differently now.Follow Christa on Instagram @ChristaGurkaCheck out past episodes and business resources at www.christagurka.comIf this episode resonates with you, share it with a fellow business owner who's thinking about selling — or simply trying to build a business that doesn't depend on them every minute of the day.
