Your experience with Bootcamp in one sentence: I went from overwhelmed to confident, clear and excited about a road map for my practice.
How were you feeling before you signed up for Bootcamp?: Inadequate as a business owner. Struggling about fee-setting. Keeping a small mindset for my business. Overwhelmed and ill-equipped.
What did your private practice look like before Bootcamp started?: Inconsistent sessions with a large range of fees. No clear vision for the practice. Lack of clarity describing my ideal client.
How do you feel after Business School Bootcamp for Therapists?: Much better! I am not alone in my struggles. Hearing "progress over perfection" really resonated with me.
How have your private practice and life changed after Bootcamp (processes, clinically, work-life balance, financially)?: I definitely have a better work-life. I have more full-fee clients, and I feel very comfortable referring potential clients to someone else when they request a lower fee. I'm not full yet but will continue to do the necessary work to get there.
What would you say to someone else who is on the fence about joining Business School Bootcamp for Therapists?: Worth the investment! It is hard work, but you will come out with a MBA in building a healthy life and therapy business.
What do you wish you had known about private practice before you started?: The tools for running a business. I was equipped to be a therapist but not equipped to help clients who need me to find me.
