How do you know if you're in the messy middle of private practice growth? 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.
