Transitioning From Graduate To A Working Health Practitioner? Here's How To Make It As Easy As Possible [PPP #114]

In this episode of The Profitable Practice Podcast, I talk about how to make the transition from student to working practitioner as easy as possible for yourself.

LET’S SHUT DOWN THE UNNECESSARY STRESS AND OVERWHELM OF STARTING YOUR PRACTICE!

It’s been my personal project these last few months to talk with as many folks in our industry as I can about their experience in business ownership. What I’m hearing is there is an AMAZING amount of pressure on a new grad transitioning into working practice from studying student.

There is also a lot of just plain bad business advice being given to them, when they are just starting out. In this episode, I set out to correct that, and put that advice into context for you.

Here’s the biggest shocker for most of us:

Your school/program was never supposed to train you to become a successful business owner. It’s purpose was to train you to become a great health practitioner. That's it.

When you tune into this episode, you’ll learn my top tips for avoiding common (and costly!) early practice pitfalls and I share the things that you should be focussing on building to get to profitability ASAP.

In This Episode:

• [1:00] The common experience of first couple years out of school and starting your professional practice.
• [2:30] My best resource to help you shortcut your way to profitability
• [6:39] The 4 most vital things that you should be building as soon as you graduate, IMO.
• [7:48] The ONLY goal you need to focus on to build them when you are just starting out.
• [10:27] Why most business advice we get upon graduation is just plain bad
• [13:04] When your gut says you’re not ready to pull the trigger on something…
