While this episode is geared toward the therapist who is considering opening a private practice, I know that therapists who already have a private practice will come away with many future action items for their utility belt too. So listen in one and all.What if you knew what to do before you started your private practice to ensure the success of that practice? What if you had super heroes waiting to help you out along the way?Many therapists sort of wing it from the time they conceive of starting a private practice. Sure they may get the obvious tasks done like creating a Facebook page, visiting the doctors, taking out a loan, and renting a large space, but they may not get to some very important tasks which actually work to ensure the practice is going to be around for more than a year.By the way, the obvious tasks I mentioned above often don't make a dimes worth of difference or in the case of taking out a loan and renting a large space may actually bankrupt you.What if you knew what worked? Would you be compelled to do it? Before you answer yes you might want to listen to what I have to say. Don't blow off these suggestions or pick and choose which ones you want to follow. I am giving you a recipe for success. Change the ingredients and your success pie might come out looking like a pile of goo.Don't forget to download the FREE Action Item Checklist to put on your fridge as a reminder of how to be successful.

Julie Entwistle is an Occupational Therapist who is a partner at EntwistlePower Occupational Therapy. She has grown her practice rather organically which has made it strong and successful. Julie's practice sees somewhere around 500 clients currently.Julie, like most private practice owners, felt a disconnect when she was "working for the man" in big industry therapy. She says the company she as working for seemed to be working for the insurance companies and not those clients they were treating.After maternity leave (Julie has 4 children) friends began to ask her when she was going to go into business for herself. They told her "What do you have to lose." It was a question she took seriously.Julie realized she had nothing to lose and much to gain by going into private practice. She didn't even have to let some of her referral sources know about her thoughts, they asked her when they could refer clients.Her solid reputation and hard "get it done" work ethic preceded her to the point that referral sources sought her out to treat their clients.Here is what we cover:

In this podcast I give 5 actionable tips that you can implement right now to help your private practice.
I have taken a short break from producing a podcast due to a new addition to my family. My wife and I had a baby a couple of weeks ago and the little bundle of joy has taken all of my extra time, but that is ok. I enjoy each of my children and they are a great motivation for me as an entrepreneur and to help other entrepreneurs. My actions in this realm do not go unnoticed by my children and my efforts are a great lesson for them. So, with that said, I appreciate your patience with my hiatus but let's get back to the task at hand.Any time I put out information about marketing a private practice it gets a lot of attention. I am not deluded to think that you and everyone else is waiting with baited breath for my marketing tips. I think small business owners will read and should read all they can on marketing. I know I do.Here are the 5 marketing tips
There are a couple of themes within these tips and with all marketing for that matter.
I continue to develop my attention to detail when it comes to how my competition or similar businesses market themselves. I try and notice this in my geographical surroundings and in the on line world. In this podcast I dive a little deeper into how I do that.Once you start noticing these marketing details you must be capturing them in order to re-visit them for future use. I have mentioned that I use Evernote to do this and I cannot suggest enough that you do the same.I would love to know your thoughts about how to market a private practice. What is working for you? Have you tried any of the suggestions I give in this podcast? |
