Welcome to the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast!   Join Jennifer & Courtney Vickery, CEO of Declet Designs, as they discuss the importance of implementing effective systems in business. They share how systems have revolutionized their business operations and leadership roles.     Join the conversation as they discuss: Rest & Reflection in Business: Many professionals who pursue a career in private practice face burnout at some point. It’s important to take a step back to avoid burnout. Systems are essential for being able to COAST in business to maintain long-term success.  The Evolution of Systems in Pursuing Private Practice: Pursuing Private Practice began with no systems in place. Now, we use project management tools such as Trello and Asana to leverage systems to meet our overarching business goals.  Adjusting for Different Learning Styles: Individuals on your team might have different learning styles. Being able to accommodate various learning styles to ensure effective communication and seamless execution is game-changing.  The Impact of Systems on Business Growth: When you have systems in place that align with your business goals and meet your team’s communication needs, business growth can start to happen.  Leveraging Visual & Auditory Communication: People learn differently, and using different visual and auditory systems can be extremely effective. Some people like things typed out, some learn best from videos, and others just need to hear it out loud.    We hope this encourages you to ask yourself, “How are the systems I have in place allowing me to take up space in business?” and “How can I make them better?” Systems can help you become the business owner you were meant to be.    Connect with Pursuing Private Practice on Instagram.   We invite you to check out a free resource Your Scalable Offer.  Sign up to receive this lesson from our program EXPAND to help you outline the criteria of a scalable offer, the pros and cons of different types of offers, and help you design YOUR successful scalable offer to take your business to the next level.

Welcome to the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast! Join Jennifer & fellow CEO Yvette Quantz of Customized Nutrition Newsletters as they discuss how email marketing is a powerful tool that allows you to connect with your audience, nurture relationships, and drive conversions. Unlike social media, where your message can easily get lost in the noise, email allows you to go deeper and engage with your subscribers on a more personal level. Here are some reasons why email marketing is essential: Deeper Engagement: Email allows you to provide more in-depth content and build a stronger connection with your audience. Segmentation: With email, you can send targeted messages to different segments of your email list based on their interests and needs. Funnel Creation: You can create specific funnels to guide your subscribers through their customer journey and provide them with the right content at the right time. Ownership: Your email list is an asset that you own. Unlike social media followers, you have full control over your email list and can transfer it to different platforms if needed. Email marketing is a powerful tool that can transform your business. This episode will show you how to add value and connect with your audience through email!   Yvette Perrier Quantz, RDN, LDN, is a passionate dietitian and creative nutrition entrepreneur who’s been blazing her path in the nutrition and wellness industry since 2003. Since 2008, she has owned and operated a private nutrition practice, Food Therapy, offering clients a holistic approach to nutrition as the foundation of radiant health and meaningful contribution.

Welcome to the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast! Join Jennifer & fellow CEO Linzy Bonham of Money Nuts and Bolts as they dive into the emotional aspects of our relationships with money, how money acts as a boundary in your business, and how finances are different for each stage of business. Join the conversation as they discuss: Relationship with Money: Money is not just about numbers and data but also about the emotional relationship we have with it. Money is a means of exchange that's deeply interconnected with our lives and is an unavoidable part of our existence. It's crucial to understand one's relationship with money, including the emotions, stories, baggage, shame, and trauma associated with it. Stages of Business: Different stages of business have different financial needs and complexities. Starting with a solo practice requires creating structure and clarity for the money management foundation. As your practice grows, you should be flexible and curious, adjusting your systems as needed. Money as a Boundary: Money serves as a boundary in professional relationships, including raising rates and making changes to your service offerings. Understanding your boundaries and making changes to them is vital for maintaining a healthy therapeutic relationship. Boundaries can shift as you move through different chapters of your career. It's essential to adapt to these changes and own the phase you're in. Cancellations Fees: Maintaining reliability with clients, including adhering to cancellation fees and being in touch with your changing boundaries, is essential for a productive and respectful clinician-client relationship. Money is not just about numbers; it's also tied to our emotions and life experiences. Your financial needs change as your business grows, and it's crucial to adapt your money strategies & boundaries accordingly. Linzy Bonham is a private practice therapist turned money coach who helps private practice owners and health professionals feel calm and in control of their finances through her coaching at Money Nuts & Bolts and her podcast Money Skills for Therapists. It all started when she saw her extremely skilled colleagues struggle with the money side of business. Some had even left private practice or were avoiding starting one because the financial side was too stressful. So Linzy decided to help therapists and health professionals develop peace of mind about their money. Since so many were never taught these skills, she focuses on the “how” of making the business side of private practice doable, and even super satisfying.
