How can clinicians start a private practice faster, easier, and cheaper than before?
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 want to 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.

If you're a private practitioner or one in the making, you're in the right place, so let's get started.
Hey there, it's Jenny, your private practice mentor. And today I want to share a story that might feel familiar. I'll never forget my first December as a speech language pathologist. I had my first job and I worked at a rehabilitation hospital with adult clients. I did stroke, traumatic brain injury, and this was literally my dream job. And I was so happy to have the job, but I started to discover A couple things that I wasn't so happy about. So that's kind of where the story is going to start. It was December and I was driving home from work and I was talking to my dad on the phone. And he asked me, What did you get for your Christmas bonus? And it felt like an absolute punch to the gut. I said, nothing.
Nothing. He was completely shocked. Now, my dad has always worked in corporate, and he literally could not believe that we didn't get bonuses. He always got bonuses his whole career. He gave bonuses to his employees. And so he was really kind of shocked and a little sad for me that I didn't get a Christmas bonus.

And I was a little shocked and sad too. It was my first job and I guess I didn't know that it's kind of normal, unfortunately, in our profession to not get bonuses. And I was really looking forward to this because I was getting married in the next year. And I knew that I could have really used that extra money for a wedding fund. And again, this is kind of when I started to realize that most SLPs notes just don't get bonuses, right? Not at Christmas. I I also didn't get any kind of a bonus or a raise when I got my C's. All of these opportunities to earn more really are few and far between. Despite our expertise, despite how much we care, despite how hard we work, there's just not this culture of getting bonuses, especially that are in any way correlated with how hard we're working.
That's kind Of when I decided that something needed to change. And so in the next year, an opportunity came up for me to start seeing private clients. And I took it. Yes, I was scared. And as I mentioned earlier, I was relatively new to this profession, but I made a decision. And my decision was that if my employer wouldn't give me a raise or a bonus, that I would find a way to give my myself one. And so that year, my very first year of seeing private clients, I earned an extra $24,000 on the side of my job just from seeing a handful of private clients after work and on the weekends. And that money went straight to things like my student loans, but also my wedding fund.
