Transform Your Group Private Practice: Write Your Business Plan in 1 Hour
Whether you're starting a group private practice or rebuilding one that isn't working the way you hoped, this free training walks you through a one-page business plan and 90-day action map built specifically for group practice. No 40-page bank documents. Just the eight areas that actually move the needle, assessed honestly, with a prioritized plan for what to focus on next.
In this training, you'll learn:
-
How to assess your group practice across eight key areas so you know exactly where to focus first.
-
How to build a 90-day action plan specific to your practice, your stage, and your priorities. A living plan you actually use, not a document that collects dust.
-
The financial plan most group practice owners skip, a sustainable fee that accounts for payroll taxes, your own vacation and sick time, benefits, and what it actually costs to run a group practice at scale (so you're not paying everyone but yourself).
-
How to define your group practice niche and message, what your practice collectively offers, how to attract the right clients and the right employees, and how to build a website that works for both.
-
How to stop being the bottleneck in your own practice, what to outsource, automate, and streamline so you can focus on what you do best.
Have something to take notes with; this training is specific and actionable. Your free group practice analysis worksheet arrives in your inbox when you enter your email.
The eight areas of a group private practice business plan
Most business plans for group practices either don't exist, were written for a bank loan and never used again, or were built for a solo practice and never updated when the first clinician was hired. None of these work.
A one-page business plan, reviewed weekly and updated every 90 days, is worth more than any thick document sitting on a shelf. The eight areas below are where a group private practice goes right or wrong:
Vision
What does your group practice exist to do, and what does it allow your life to look like? Get clear on what makes you unique not just as a clinician but as an employer; why a great clinician would want to work for you.
Schedule and organization
Are your systems working for your brain, your team, and your clients? Get clear on what you need from your staff, how the practice, personal, and clinician calendars talk to each other, and where autonomy needs boundaries.
Documentation and data management
Notes under five minutes per session, clear documentation standards you actually review, and an informed consent that has scaled with your practice. What worked at one or two clinicians won't hold at ten.
Processes and client journey
Intake, onboarding clients and employees, graduating, firing, outcomes tracking as a team. Your practice doesn't need to be on fire to make a process better; 1% improvement every month compounds.
Fees and financial planning
A sustainable fee that accounts for payroll taxes, your own time off, benefits, and what the practice actually costs to run. Too many owners pay their staff but not themselves; that's not leadership, it's a trap.
Niche and message
What does your team collectively offer? Getting specific, even as a group, leads to better clinical outcomes, stronger retention, and clearer hiring. Commit to clients and employees who are a great fit.
Website
A website that attracts the right clients and the right employees, with a newsletter instead of a waitlist so you can open and fill slots with ease. Understand enough SEO to know you're getting what you paid for.
Marketing plan
Know what works, let go of what doesn't, and do what's sustainable instead of all the things. Look at where you can eliminate, streamline, outsource, or automate as your practice grows.
Why 90 days, and why it works
We're not asking you to transform your entire group practice in a single weekend. The 90-day cycle, aligned with quarterly taxes, with the rhythm of seasons, with how humans actually sustain momentum, is long enough to see real movement and short enough that you don't lose steam.
The process is straightforward: rate yourself honestly in each of the eight areas. Identify the lowest-scoring ones. Pick three things to work on per area. Schedule a weekly date with your business, not to put out fires, but to give it the same intentionality you'd give a relationship you care about. At 90 days, run the assessment again and watch the needle move.
Most group practice owners have plenty of plans. The gap isn't information, it's implementation. The training addresses this directly, because you are more than a thinking mind. The blocks that stop group practice owners from following through are rarely strategic. They're emotional, relational, and physical. A plan that doesn't account for the whole person running the practice is a plan that won't last.
