In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest transformations of my life—becoming a mom while running a business. From identity shifts and emotional unlearning to redefining success entirely, I share what no one prepares you for when you're both a mother and a founder.You'll hear:The messy and magical reality of raising babies and building a businessThe identity shift that rocked me—and how I grew from it5 things motherhood has taught me that made me a better business ownerWhy simplifying, setting boundaries, and trusting your intuition are essential CEO skillsHow I've redefined success around presence, purpose, and personal fulfillmentWhether you're pregnant, postpartum, years into motherhood, or dreaming of a future with both a family and a thriving business—you're not alone, and you don't have to choose.

As with many previous episodes, much of the content for the topics I talk about on this podcast come from questions that I receive from you. In this episode, I discuss legal expense insurance, which is something I haven't covered yet, but I have been asked about and will be useful to know about as a small business owner. Today you'll hear about:What legal expense insurance is, what it's specifically designed for and examples of some of the risks that may come up for a small business ownerLegal disputes commonly faced by small business owners and that may require legal expenses Why it's so important to understand what coverage you already have under your other insurance policies How often to have the conversation with your insurance broker and specific questions to ask when you do speak with that person The significant financial impact that legal issues can have on a business and the pros and cons to weigh as the ownerWhy more and more small business owners are opting for legal expense insurance right now If you haven't recently reviewed your commercial insurance policies, I hope this serves as a reminder for you to do that. As well, I wanted to provide you with the list of questions that you can ask your insurance broker when you have the conversation around your policies and coverage, so that you can get a sense of what types of legal risks you may be potential exposed to, and then you can make some more informed decisions about how to protect your small business. Mentioned in this EpisodeEpisode 39 - Three Layers of Liability Protection—Listen to Get It In Writing on Apple, Spotify or wherever you catch your favorite podcasts!For more please visit my website at  Legal Mybiz.ca.

“Every business owner has made mistakes along the way, but the secret to success is learning from each mistake.”—Melissa HoustonWhat makes a business successful?

But there are a few things to consider before you book a vacation overseas and let your business stand on its own.Business owners don't truly get time off — they can't just put in for two weeks' vacation and leave their work in the office.

She has a secondary dream of owning a commercial property, not just for her clinic, but as another income stream!Triad Speech Therapy opened its doors in March 2022 after Kimberly worked in various settings (SNF, LTC, and the school systems in Virginia and Kentucky). While working for a friend and mentor in her private practice in Virginia for several years, Kimberly was enlightened to see that you can make money as an SLP and enjoy some work-life balance as a mother. She enrolled in the Start Your Private Practice course in the winter of 2021, and the rest is history!In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Kimberly's journey to becoming an SLP and private practice ownerWhy we need private practices now more than everHow the Start program impacted Kimberly's private practice journeyHow long it can take to see your first clients after joining the programThe types of clients you can see in your private practiceWhere you can find your clients as a private practice ownerThe flexibility and freedom you get when you are a private practitionerThe relationships and rapport you develop with the families you work withKimberly's plan to expand her streams of income in the futureI hope you loved this conversation with Kimberly as much as I did!

This episode you'll hear me talking a lot about this word, permission. Permission to opt out of tools that are feeling heavy, outdated, and cumbersome to your business. Permission to change the processes and systems that you might have liked in the beginning of your business, but have outgrown overtime as a business owner. But most importantly, permission to work with the way you're wired, stay true to your authentic self, and stop negative self-talk about decisions you make in your business.This week on the podcast, I'm coming to you  from my phone in my hotel room in Boston last week. After much procrastination towards recording this episode,( and then an unexpected flight cancellation,)  I was put in a pickle where I had to record an episode on the fly without my normal equipment. But I hope that my experience is a great lesson for you; One that you truly don't have to be perfect or different than you are to create an amazing, profitable business. You'll learn:How working with the way that you are wired is the best way to make smart, effective business movesWhy adapting processes from other successful business owners isn't necessarily the best business strategy for your businessHow embracing your weaknesses as a business owner can springboard you into being a stronger, more level-headed business ownerWhy and when you might need to remove some tools/systems  from your process as a business owner Featured on today's episode: Work with me in 2023!

If you've had struggles in the past, personal, financial, or otherwise, and you're looking for a better way, private practice could be the answer. Jamie's story is powerful, and I hope that hearing it and how she's been successful as a result is inspiring to you.Jamie Giannino, MA CCC-SLP is the owner and founder of Wordwise Speech Therapy; a boutique Speech Therapy practice with big plans to help close the accessibility gap in pediatric speech services.

Hey, I got a question for you. Do you know everything? My guess is, you know that you don't. The challenge is, as coaches, we sometimes forget that. Or at least, we act like we do.

We're gonna ask, why aren't you asking more questions?"The point is this, you need to ask more questions” — Jos Willard This week on Profit for Coaches:Why asking questions is fundamental to being a successful coach and business ownerWhy we need to replace assumptions with questions, and when we may be making them.How to implement effective questioning in your coaching practice right now.The FREE profitable practice scorecard!Our Favorite Quotes:“One of the biggest mistakes that coaches tend to make, we assume we know what those prospective clients want.” — Jos Willard"I see people who don't have a problem getting their clients, but they have a problem keeping their clients... they don't ask their clients, what's next?" — Jos Willard""A lot of you would like to have more clients. You should be asking more questions." — Jos Willard

Are you facing career burnout? For many SLPs and OTs, this is all too common. In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Corinne Zmoos who experienced early career burnout. She was tired of the expectation that she should be an expert generalist at her job in early intervention and felt trapped. She is very creative and started teaching music classes on the side and since the parents of the kids she worked with knew she was an SLP, they started asking for help. After joining the Start and Grow Your Private Practice programs, she now has a thriving private practice. Corinne Zmoos, M.S. CCC-SLP is a musical speech language pathologist in Baltimore, MD. Her private practice, Crescendo Communication provides highly individualized, neurodiverse language and executive functioning therapy for toddlers and young children. She specializes in AAC, musical intervention, and Gestalt language processing. As a neurodivergent individual herself, Corinne deeply understands how music lights up the brain for nontraditional learners and facilitates progress rooted in joy rather than compliance. This year, Corinne opened Messy Happy Music Lab to provide an inclusive space for the children of Baltimore to learn through music, process art, and sensory playIn Today's Episode, We Discuss:How she got started as an SLP How she took on the identity of a business ownerWhy word-of-mouth referrals are so powerfulThe services she offers to her clients Why she loves Gestalt language processing How she sees genuine, authentic growth with her clients How the Start and Grow programs helped herI hope you enjoyed this conversation with Corinne. She is a breath of fresh air in the speech world and I love that she offers such creative and unique services to the clients that she serves. She went from being a burnt-out SLP to a successful private practice owner. Whether you want to offer nontraditional services like Corinne, or if you still want to offer traditional services but outside of a traditional setting, private practice may be the solution to help you get what you need.If you would like to know more about our programs and how we help support SLPs and OTs who want our help to start and grow their practices - just like we've helped Corrine, please visit www.IndependentClinician.com.

Becoming a business owner has been one of the most rewarding, and humbling, experiences I have ever had. I was able to grow a successful ads agency, help an array of business owners and coaches, and build a life of freedom. On the other hand, it brought up every feeling imaginable and made me confront the deepest parts of myself. As rewarding as the freedom is, entrepreneurship is hard, which is why many people fail. But if you're able to overcome those challenges you discover an inner strength that sparks so much power it becomes addicting. In today's episode I'm going to discuss one of my favorite topics: how to deal with the roller coaster of emotions that arise with entrepreneurship. I go into what makes being an entrepreneur so hard, and how it has nothing to do with the journey. I will then talk about why discomfort is actually a good thing, and how I overcame my fear in my business. Finally, I talk about how hitting milestones don't make things easier and what they actually do. Stay tuned!Here's a closer look at what I discuss in this episode: What makes entrepreneurship so hard, and how it has nothing to do with the journeyHow I become unafraid of being a better business ownerWhy discomfort in your business is actually a GOOD thingHow hitting milestones doesn't actually make things easierResources: Apply to work with us! Free Ads Mini-Course Free Live Launch Ads Return CalculatorInstagramWebsite
