This Is My Story Too
I wrote this book as it is my story, too. It took me a long time to be willing to look at my therapy business finances and understand them.
Seriously. One year not very long ago, I realized that my business netted me exactly $1,000 for the year after I paid all my expenses. That meant I made about 50 cents an hour. No wonder I was exhausted and unhappy.
It also took me quite a while to do less people-pleasing in my business and start making sound decisions for the company. I had an overactive sense of responsibility and would make decisions that would hurt the business, hoping that others would not be disappointed or inconvenienced. The impact of “worshiping responsibility at the altar” took a bit longer to conquer. Truth be told, I still occasionally slip.
I found my way out by studying sound business techniques and applying them to our unique business of therapy. And I was helped on my journey by some amazing guides and mentors. I am beyond grateful for their stewardship.
Over several months I began implementing the business and finance skills I teach in this book in my own businesses – skills beyond marketing for new clients. As I did so, my profit rose 400% in just five months. (What would this kind of increase in your profits mean for your business and your life?) I stood up for myself more in business situations. My confidence was higher than ever. Business was fun again! I loved working with my clients and had time for the other roles in my business, too!
I want that for you too. Exhaustion and burnout are not okay. Running a business at a loss is not okay. It is time to fill in the missing pieces to our business education.
