Summary

In this podcast episode, Joe Sanok speaks about the three stages of private practice from solopreneur to CEO and what you should be doing at each phase of your practice.

The 3 Phases

1. Starting a practice

Hustle – you are getting all your systems in place and doing all your paperwork
Hats – you are doing your own book keeping, you’re answering phones and emails
Help – you want to quickly transition into getting help in certain areas such as the phones, scheduling and intakes.

2. Growing a practice

Multiply – evaluate where you are spending your time. If you are charging $150 per session you could hire a virtual assistant for $15 an hour and delegate some work there so that you are not spending your time on things that are not bringing in any money
Motivate – make sure that you are motivating your staff, understand how teams work and what kind of team you want to build
Move out – if you are doing most of the work that needs to change at this phase, you need to start replacing yourself and only spend the time on the things that only you can do

3. Scaling a practice

Systematize – look at whether there are systems that can help your business stay organized
Step back – you need to do the week that you feel good about and that you’re excited about and let go of those other areas
Send to others – there are other people who can do it better, so pass on these tasks or let others take over your sessions so that you don’t have to work those hours
