A Group Practice Owners’ Guide to Profitability - You Need a Different Business Model

Our client decided to go to an event for therapists for inspiration, connection, and learning. They spent an incredible amount of money and time attending this event and made some amazing connections. But, they came back convinced that their business model wasn’t working and wasn’t sustainable. They spent a month feeling like she needed to start a new business or develop a new stream of income before they finally talked to us and we dove into the truth.

Spoiler alert: The truth is - they had created a group practice that works really well and is actually profitable.

So, let’s break down what happened, how they got so off course, and what you can do to determine the truth about YOUR group practice, its profitability, its sustainability, and things you can do to get it on track if it is off track.
