Dive into topics that cover everything from identifying and attracting your ideal clients, through to saving money.
Our consultants and industry experts share their tried-and-tested tips so that you can help more people in your community and build a name for yourself. After all, referrals and word-of-mouth marketing are always the gold standard when it comes to gauging the success of your practice – and success is what we help you get!
Group Practice Launch
Do you want to start a group private practice but feel like you’re lacking an MBA
or business know-how? GPL is for you.
So you’ve aced the solo private practice venture now it’s time to spread your business wings and turn it into a group practice – but wait, what has worked for solo won’t necessarily work for group, and now you’re suddenly having to consider employment contracts, and operational systems that can be scaled. And let’s also quickly talk about that intrusive thought that has you thinking that no one cares about your practice as much as you do so how can you possibly be expected to stop micromanaging and doing quality control? Breathe.
Introducing our 6-month intensive online community. We take you through every step needed to start a group practice. By the end, you will have established a solid foundation for your growing business, as well as hired at least one clinician, and you’ll have access to tons of resources and recordings that you can refer back to whenever you need.
Group Practice Boss
Are you wanting to scale your group private practice but are overwhelmed by
everything it would – and could – entail? GPB is for you.
This course takes you from dreaming to actually being a group practice boss who runs a successful business, yet still manages to do the things they love with the ones they love. Think about it, we’re often telling our clients to strike a balance between work and life.
Yet when it comes to being a group practice boss this ‘divide’ can become blurred in favor of more work – thanks to the responsibilities of being a boss. In GPB our private practice consultants take you through everything from managing people, creating a positive workplace culture, increasing client retention, money management, hiring, marketing and branding, office space, and much more. Yet you’re not expected to take lots of notes and remember everything we cover.
We have a dedicated resource library, recordings, live webinars, and discounted rates with our in-house graphic designer.
