Do you feel like you’re struggling with having the confidence to build a private practice? You might even have a private practice already and struggle with your confidence.
I’m pulling one of the most popular episodes out of the archives this week to cover this topic because I think it is so important. Adrienne Fuller and I are talking all about having the confidence to follow your dreams.
Adrienne Fuller M.S., CCC-SLP is the clinical director and Owner of SpeechBuilders Speech and Language Therapy in Apopka, Florida. She earned her Master’s Degree at the University of New Hampshire and has worked in almost every setting as an SLP since. She is a recent graduate from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small business program, is Co-Writer of the book, Putting Your Dreams To Work: Keys to Setting Up Your Therapy Practice and has a new book, ‘Get Your Toddler Talking’ coming out in 2021.
In Today’s Episode, We Discuss:
- The benefit of having a supportive network
- Not letting the opinions of others define your path
- Why you don’t always have to leap into Private Practice
- Ways you can increase your income with Private Practice
- Ideas for creating more income streams when you’re an SLP
- Why you need to make the decisions that are right for you
I hope that you were able to find some inspiring parallels between Adrienne’s story and your own whether you are a beginner or an established clinician.
Remember that we all have our own paths as SLPs! All you have to do is find the confidence to make the decisions that are right for you and your dreams.
