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-trude 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.

People are often surprised when I say this, but I actually don't recommend that most SLPs or OTs leap or jump into private practice. Instead, I recommend that people start private practices part-time or on the side for three reasons. One, because it reduces the financial risks because you haven't quit your job, so you still have your steady salary and benefits. Two, to make sure That you like private practice before going all in. And three, to start generating income that you can use to pay off your debt. Build savings and have money to do fun things andor to reinvest in your business and continue to grow.
No matter what, every private practice starts with one client. You can choose to grow your private practice after you're up and started, but first you need to concentrate on getting your legal ducks in a row, marketing to get your first clients, and then you can decide if you want to stay part-time or go full-time in your own private practice. This is exactly the way that I teach students in the Start Your Private program to get started, because frankly, this works better for most SLPs and OTs. Today's podcast episode was originally a live training which took place in the SLP and OT Private Practice Beginners Facebook group. In the training, I cover what you need to know in order to get started with a part-time private practice.
And I also talk about things like income potential, startup costs, and ways that today's private practitioners are getting started much cheaper, easier, and faster than people used to. Having a part-time private practice is the safest and smartest way to get started. So let's dive in and talk more about it. 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. Hello everyone, I am so excited to be here to discuss why I think that part-time private practice is the perfect way to start your private practice. There are a lot of people who think that in order to be in private practice, you have to be in private practice full-time, right? They think that private practice is kind of all or nothing. Either you're in private practice or you're not. not in private practice. But one of the more popular ways to do it is to get started on the side or part-time from your job.
So that is what we're going to be talking about tonight. I'm really excited about it. Oh, throughout the presentation, if you want help to implement anything that I'm talking about, make sure that you type the word support or if you're listening to this on the podcast, DM me the word support.
