Episode 82: The Benefits of Putting People Over Profit [featuring Amanda Landry]

Starting a private therapy practice means becoming a business owner, wearing all the hats, and being more than just a therapist. It can feel stressful to suddenly have to step into a non-therapy role, especially if you never learned how or if you flat-out hate doing the necessary tasks that come with business ownership. These things can become real struggles and roadblocks for therapists pursuing entrepreneurship, but there is also a solution—incorporating good support systems into your business operations. In this episode, I talk with Amanda Landry, therapist, group practice owner, and co-moderator of My Private Practice Collective Facebook Group. Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode: Understand the benefits of allocating tasks and how it can accelerate business growth and income. Identify what roles as a private practice business owner are the best ones for you to outsource that result in the most benefit for you and your business. Learn how to implement a people-over-profit business model that actually generates more money and supports your staff. Outsourcing is an important component of scaling a business, but there are good and bad ways to implement it, so it's important to approach it with the right mindset and plan. If you take care of the people taking care of you, you'll set yourself up for rapid growth and success.
