So most of you know this, but I'm from New Orleans, which means that I love to celebrate things. And today I'm celebrating two Amazing Milestones, which is a hundred episodes of this podcast and also 40 years of my life. I'm on a mission to help at least one thousand SLPs build successful private practices this year. Now I started my own private practice journey back in two thousand six, much, much earlier than I had anticipated. You see, I always thought that I would be in private practice someday when I was older, like maybe forty, ha.
Um, but when an opportunity came by to treat a private client, I got started much, much sooner. In fact, I was twenty six years old at the time, and I jumped on it. And the reason why I was able to do it was because I had two mentors. Their names are Rick and Catherine. And they got me set up and they got me started off on the right foot. At the time I didn't believe that private practice was something that I could do, especially that early in my career. But because they believed in me and they generously showed me the ropes, I was able to do it. And that's how I started my private practice. If you want the full story, head over to start your private practice dot com backslash webinar, and that's where you can hear the full story of how everything happened.
Fast forward a little while and my grad school friends started asking me questions about my private practice and asking how they could get started. So on a whim, I formed a company that I called the Independent Clinician to help my fellow SLPs start their own businesses. It started so small. I used to sell chapters of an e-book.
How did Jenna first start her private practice and who were her early mentors?
I used to sell them individually for 10 bucks each. And then I decided to put the e-book together and I called it the Guide to Private Patients. I still have it on my shelf. Some of you have seen videos of me, see this big colorful bookshelf. Well, one of the books on that shelf is the old ebook that I wrote. back in 2008. And you might own the book, right? You a lot of people have owned that book. I sold actually thousands of copies of it.
