What motivated Ruth to start a part‑time pediatric private practice while still teaching?
Starting a private practice isn't what it used to be. Today's clinicians are starting private practices much quicker, easier, and cheaper than before. And they aren't guessing their way through it or getting stuck in analysis paralysis. They're following a tried and true roadmap in order to save time, money, and frustration. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel or struggle to figure out how to start a private practice on your own. We've helped thousands of SLPs and OTs through this process, and now we wanna help you too. For a limited time, I'm offering a free copy of our Private Practice Roadmap, specifically for SLPs and OTs who are curious about private practice and want to see what the journey looks like.

Are you ready to make this year the final year that you say, this is the year I'm going to start my private practice? Listen, I know that you've been thinking about private practice for a long time, but you're nervous that you don't have enough experience or the time to devote to figure it all out on your own. In the meantime, you're passing up opportunities to serve more ideal clients, make more money, and spend more time with your family. And people in your community are going without services or are stuck on wait lists.
If you've been following me for a long time and you're ready to learn more about how private practice can help you meet your professional, personal, and financial goals, I want you to sign up for my brand new free training over at startyourprivatepractice.com backslash webinar. Chances are you didn't learn much of anything about private practice in graduate school. So think of this free training as the missing lecture that you didn't have then, but you have now. And if you're on the fence about whether or not private practice is right for you, I promise that by the end of the free training, you will know. Speech language pathologists choose private practice as a way to have more freedom, flexibility, and financial abundance in their lives.
So if you need more of those things, starting a private practice full-time or even on the side can be a great way to achieve them. Don't let yet another year go by waiting for things to get better. If you are ready to take control over your professional, personal and financial life, head on over to startyourprivatepractice.com backslash webinar and sign up for the free training today. All right, let's jump into the episode. Ruth Marquez is a bilingual speech-language pathologist who started her private practice on the side of her school job. She was interested in private practice, but put it on the back burner for a while, worried that she didn't have enough experience. But then she decided to go for it, and she hasn't looked back.
Ruth started her private practice journey as a student in my program, the Start Your Private Practice System. She is a wonderful example of someone who had a lot of doubt and fear, but decided to invest in herself and her future and follow the step-by-step system. And she absolutely loves private practice. I can't wait to introduce you to her. So stay tuned. I'm Jenna Castro-Casbon, speech-language pathologist, business coach, and creator of the Start Your Private Practice system. And I'm on a mission to turn stuck SLPs into successful private practitioners. If you're tired of dealing with high productivity requirements, high caseload sizes, and low pay, it's time to take control of your professional, personal, and financial life, and finally get the freedom, flexibility, and financial abundance that you deserve by working with private clients in your own practice.
Join me here each week as I share tips, best practices, and inspirational interviews on the Private Practice Success Stories podcast. If you're a private practitioner or one in the making, you're in the right place, so let's get started.
