As she started making progress, she wasn't getting the immediate results. By trial and error, and transitioning out of a firm position, she began improving her business.

Guest Podcast with Dr. Jeremy: Integrating Testing in Your Private Practice

I need you to meet Dr. Jeremy. Why? Because ever since I met him, I have realized how badly we need his kind of work in community. More and more psychologists are avoiding integrating testing in their practices because they don't know how to make it profitable, or if they do, they only know how to do it in a way that stresses them out. Even if you aren't a psychologist, this is a great conversation and if you have psychologists on your staff, then you want to give this a listen as well.
