What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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.

Enjoy the interview. I'm Jenna Castro-Kasbon, 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. You may have heard me talk about the old way and the new way of thinking about private practice and being in private practice.
And I talked about this a lot because there are a lot of myths and old conceptions about private practice. For example, the old way of thinking is to wait until later in your career, until you're an air quotes expert, versus starting now and building your expertise as you build your practice. Another old way of thinking is that you need to have five or $10,000 or more saved up before you start your practice. The reason why people think this is because they are trying to compare their beginning private practices to already established private practitioners who have the brick and mortar spaces, have the employees and materials closets filled with assessments and therapy resources. But the reality is that you can get started for less than $150 by focusing on paying for essential startup costs and legal protections first and then rolling your private practice profits into higher ticket items.
This is how I teach students in the Start Your Private Practice program how to be profitable from the beginning versus starting in debt or waiting until you've paid off your debt to start your practice. In fact, private practice earnings is a big way that many of my students are paying off their debt and starting to build up savings and accumulate wealth much earlier than they ever could have imagined. Today's episode focuses on another new way to be in private practice, which is to think of your air quotes competitors in your area as collaborators and referral partners instead. The old way to have a private practice is to do a ton of external marketing, build a huge wait list, and to be competitive with other practices.
This is scarcity mindset thinking that there are only so many clients to go around. And now that I'm saying this, I realize that that might have been the case back then.
