Why should speech‑language pathologists consider multiple streams of income?
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.

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.
How did Jenna first learn about multiple income streams and what sparked her interest?
If you're a private practitioner or one in the making, you're in the right place, so let's get started. Would you like to make more money as a speech language pathologist? There's lots of people who would, but very few people are talking about it. Today I want to introduce you to the concept of multiple streams of income and talk to you about how this can work for you and how you can add your first or next stream of income. So before we dive in, let me share how I was first introduced to the concept of multiple streams of income, because it'll really get your wheels turning. Okay, so I was about 25 years old and I had my first job as a speech language pathologist at a rehabilitation hospital. And one of my coworkers worked with me part-time at the hospital and then part-time for herself in various capacities.
I didn't know about multiple streams of income, but I was about to. So Catherine shared with me that not only did she work with me at the hospital, But she also had her own private practice serving a few clients a few times a week. She also, talking about things she did a few times a week, taught spin classes. She was very fit, and she taught fourteen spin classes a week.
What risks does relying on a single income source pose for SLPs, especially women?
She also owned a two family home, meaning that she lived in one half and she rented out the other half. She also invested in her retirement accounts, and she had a contract with a couple of schools in the area doing their AAC assessments. So that is six streams of income. I thought that, you know, I would just, you know, go to work and you know, work and maybe contribute to my retirement account, maybe do some stocks or something. But I had never heard of this concept of having multiple streams of income. And what she explained to me was that it's really important, especially for women, to make sure that they are not vulnerable by having only one income source. If you have only one income source and something happens to it.
That can be devastating for you and for your family. So she was a single woman at the time I was a single woman, and she expressed the importance of especially women having multiple streams of income and not being dependent on one source. So right now you might be dependent on one source of income, right? This might be your regular job at a school or a hospital, early intervention or someone else's private practice, okay?
Which side‑income ideas can SLPs add to their regular job right now?
Let's talk about what are some other income streams that you can add in order to diversify your income, make more money, build wealth, but also make sure that you are not vulnerable if something happens to that primary stream of income.
