With the onset of COVID-19, I talk about making changes in your your Speech Therapy Private Practice. With sudden change comes anxiety, but in this episode, I look back at other events in my life that gave me the abilities to make good solid changes in our business so that patients can get their treatments and employees can receive a paycheck during these difficult times. Resources for Small Businesses: The Small Business Owner’s Guide to the CARES Act In this episode: 02:15 – Space for Perfect Student 02:45 – Change happens 05:30 – Adapt and Change 08:30 – Teletherapy 09:48 – Shutting doors to take care of family and staff 11:10 – Change comes with opportunity I remember I was on a business trip in Vegas about four weeks ago, and we were talking amongst ourselves, some other big clinic owners and we were talking about the same thing, we’re hearing on the news about this Coronavirus. And I said, I started thinking about that Teletherapy thing and I said, we got to get ready for this. We need to go to our pandemic plans and get this thing moving.

Well, today is one of those topics that we all need to talk about. It’s really the 800 pound gorilla in the room, right? It’s called change. And change is something that happens whether we like it or not. And, with this whole coronavirus thing, I mean, I was forced to change, 47 employees, 48 employees, and we had to move thousands of patients over to a new platform and we had to do it quickly. And so I wanted to talk to you about that today. I just got off of a live webinar with our all access community members. And we were speaking about the same thing that I’m talking to you about here right now. And that’s just really how to adapt to an online platform so we can continue to help those that we serve, with speech or occupational or physical therapy or even a B.A. therapy. So,

2019 has been a great year for PrivateSLP, the Speech Therapy Private Practice Startup Podcast and Kyle’s clinics, Therapy Group of Tucson! When starting, growing or scaling a real speech therapy private practice, one of the benefits of learning from an active clinic owner with multiple disciplines and locations is gaining real-life experience and expertise so that you can avoid the pitfalls and mistakes that Kyle has made already.   If you’re going to learn, then learn from someone who is actively managing thousands of visits and multiple locations. In this episode, I review 2019 and list our highlights and celebrate our overall growth while giving you an idea of what to expect if you start and grow your own clinic. Also, the time to join my PrivateSLP All Access Community is right now before the price increases on January 1, 2020. In this episode: 01:12 – 59769 + listeners 01:48 – Welcome to Julie Griffith, SLP to the AAC 05:38 – Making Changes 06:30 – Insanity defined 07:05 – Second location 07:35 – Speech Therapy numbers 07:48 – Employees and benefits If you sit around and talk about it on Facebook or sit there and watching YouTube videos and kind of dreaming about it, you’re going to get what you’ve always got. Nothing, no change, whatsoever, you can sit there and absorb information till the cows come home. But if you don’t get off of it and change and do something get into action nothing’s going to change.

And since we’ve started working together this past June their busin...

Welcome to Episode 50 of the Speech Therapy Private Practice Startup Podcast! This episode is all about doing things differently to achieve maximum results in business and your personal life. To celebrate my 50th birthday this Christmas Eve, I decided to accomplish another one of my life goals – That is to earn a private pilot’s license 🙂 In this podcast, I talk about something that I realized while I was soloing a 172 Cessna in the pattern at KTUS (Tucson International Airport), speech therapy private practice just is like flying a private plane – when all else fails, use your checklists, get the right training, get over the fear and don’t give up! In this episode: 02:09 – Taking some time off 05:12 – Taking up flying 06:52 – Learning how to fly a Cessna 172 08:49 – If you don’t change, nothing is going to change 10:08 – Take your checklist, follow your checklist 10:45 – Remember the checklist 14:58 – It’s kind of like in traffic 16:15 – Learning how to start, grow and scale own Private practice 17:01 – Big FIVE O thing We have a checklist in the All access community, PrivateSLP. There’s a checklist for referrals. There’s a checklist on how to get paid. There’s all kinds of checklists that I’ve documented along the way. When it comes to staying airborne, I was thinking I’m freaking out. I’m sure you guys freak out too when it comes to your business. I mean I’m sure some you do but I know a lot of the people I work with on a daily basis they’re always up to something and there’s always something to learn. So my instructor gets out of a plane and he says remember the checklist. [Commercial] Well, Hello everyone you’re listening to the Speech Therapy Private Practice StartUp Podcast. This is episode number 50. My name is Kyle Meades and I’m a Speech Pathologist since 1993. And these podcasts are designed to help you improve your business and your life one Podcast at a time. Welcome back to the show everyone. Thanks again for all the emails and all the questions. As of today, today is Friday, November 8, 2019. We have well over 57,000 listeners to the show and I’m super glad you guys are out there, getting good valuable information because you know me. I say it every single time, value is what you get in the absence of money, and these podcasts who absolutely free for you. So if you wouldn’t mind please do your part and go to the iOS or Android platform of your choice and leave some five star feedback. That way other people just like you can get the same valuable information that you guys are getting. I hope you guys are doing well, and I’ve had some listeners reach out to me recently and they’re saying things like, “Hey Kyle, where you been? or are you alive or hey, when’s the next podcast coming out?” All right I got you. So I have been taking some time off to myself. When I first started the Speech Therapy Private Practice starter podcast, I always said I was going to do these at least once a month. Sometimes try to do two a month but life is life, and unlike other podcasters that I know I’m actually running a full time clinic. We have two locations in Tucson. We just opened our second location. We offer speech and occupational and physical therapy services to many people here in our community. And we just do a lot of great work. On top of opening our second location and purchasing a new commercial building, it’s a little over 7800 square feet. We’re using all of that space too for Speech and OT, and one of the locations we’ve got PT. On top of that, we just had our Annual Trunk or Treat where we had a ton of ...

In this episode I talk about the idea and mindset of being fully committed and “All In” in your own speech therapy private practice. So many times people start their own business and simply give up. They quit because they can’t seem to cut away from their job, or they just don’t have enough patients coming into their practice. Most often, they quit before miracle. Also in this episode I take time to recognize a very busy and motivated speech therapist Grace Tan Cheng Man, a speech therapist based in Malaysia who has an online magazine! In this episode: 01:08 – Value, Value, Value, 03:37 – Gr​ace Tan Cheng Man, Malaysia Speech Therapist 06:07 – Becoming an Independent Speech and Language Pathologist 07:34 – Required Mindset for Private Practice 09:40 – Establishing a solid foundation for Speech Therapy Private Practice 11:51 – Motive for startup 18:45 – All In 20:10 – Self Honesty 20:51 – Worried? 22:52 – Getting Paid [Commercial] Well, Hello everyone you’re listening to the Speech Therapy Private Practice StartUp Podcast. This is episode number 49. My name is Kyle Meades and I’m a Speech Pathologist since 1993. And these podcasts are designed to help you improve your business and your life one Podcast at a time. Welcome back to the show everyone. Thanks again for all the emails and all the questions. As of today, today is June 26, 2019 we have well over 51,979 listeners to the show and I’m super fired up. You guys are out there getting good valuable information and it’s free for you. And you know me I say it every single podcast. It wouldn’t be my podcast if I didn’t say it, “Value is what you get in the absence of money” and these podcasts are free for you so what I would like you to do is, just simply go to the iOS or Android platform of your choice and just leave some five star feedback that way other people just like you can get the same valuable information that you’re receiving right now because it’s important to give back. And when I started this podcast over three years ago I wanted to give out as much free information as possible and to do that I want to be able to drive traffic to our website and we’re doing great. When you Google “Startup Speech Therapy Private Practice”, we’re right there on top. I mean we’re helping a lot of people, I get a lot of questions during the week and I’m doing conference calls and coaching calls with people in the All access community. And they’re always wanting to know how do you do it all. Well that’s because I have a team I don’t rely as a podcaster and as a business person, I don’t rely on other clinics to show my subscribers and members of my community how to do things. We do it all here in-house so if I want to teach one of the access community members about billing we can get on the phone to have a coaching call with our billing department. We have a referral department, we have a scheduling department, we have a team of therapists multidisciplinary team of people and locations where we can help as many people as possible. That’s from patients all the way to all access community members so if you want to learn how to start your own practice, you’re in the right place. And again if this is your first podcast, welcome, start at the beginning and work your way through all 49 episodes along the way. If there’s anything you need from me, all you have to do is reach out to me at privateSLP.com/contact and I’ll help you. I get people all the time that say, I can’t believe you’re just picking up the phone and calling. Well absolutely,

A speech therapy private practice is not always easy or fun and games. Many people suffer from the illusion that business owners are sitting around at the beach on their laptops getting rich while paying employees to do all of the grunt work. This is far from the truth. To be successful in speech therapy private practice, one has to be dedicated, motivated and have serious discipline. Starting, growing and scaling a speech therapy private practice requires hard work, money, elbow grease and late hours but the payoff can be rewarding. In this episode, I discuss the discipline required to make a speech therapy private practice work and discuss some of the challenges along the way! In this episode: 02:22 – Question from SpeakPipe 03:31 – The Perfect Student 05:05 – Our Second Location 09:50 – Topic = Discipline 11:38 – Retraining your Brain 12:47 – Positive Association 13:50 – Starting TODAY 14:30 – Consistency is the Key So at an early age I learned the value of a dollar and how to work. And so I really believe those experiences as a child I carried it over into my business life. So these days what it looks like I’m always up at 4:30 I don’t need an alarm. For the last three or four days, I’ve been really excited to get to work I’ve been getting up on my own at about 2:33 a.m. And got there and sit on my hot tub and I do my morning meditation. I drink my carrot juice, beet juice, I do my juicing and then I go to work. Sometimes I’m at this new office getting it ready but I got to do it. If I don’t do it nobody’s going to do it. [Commercial] Well, Hello everyone you’re listening to the Speech Therapy Private Practice StartUp Podcast. This is episode number 48. My name is Kyle Meades and I’m a Speech Pathologist since 1993.

Thanks again for all the emails, all the questions and all the SpeakPipes.

So if you wouldn’t mind just go to the Android or iOS platform of your choice and leave some good five star feedback that way other people like you can get the same value that you’re receiving right now. Now if this is your first episode, welcome and you can just easily go back through all the podcasts and start at episode one and you can hear all the great topics that we have all the way from Accounts Receivable, billing, referrals, there is other information on there about mindset. I mean it’s all on there and if you have any questions at all, all you have to do is just reach out to me at privateSLP.com/contact and I’ll do my best to help you. I also received a recent question from SpeakPipe and it was from a gentleman. His name is Michael and he wanted to know about getting contracts and he’s got a business in another state and he’s got some home health going but he also wanted to add another discipline besides speech therapy. He wanted to recently add occupational therapy as well to the mix and he didn’t want to do that in the home and community you wanted to do that more of an outpatient clinical setting. Now again I’m not a lawyer but I did speak to him and I thought the best way to go about this would be maybe just to start another entity another private practice name and get your contracts through a clinic based entity and just start from...

Today&#8217;s episode is all about practice management software with Beata Klarowska, M.S. CCC-SLP. Beata is a speech and language pathologist who started working on practice management software and apps after listening to a professor speak about telehelth services in graduate school. Today, TheraPlatform has grown into a robust practice management and EMR software for SLPs, OTs, PTs and mental health providers. Its features include: scheduling, documenting, billing, secure video conferencing, teaching tools, reports and homework. In this episode: 02:32 &#8211; Building a Speech Therapy Empire 03:05 &#8211; All-in-one practice management software platform 06:50 &#8211; Your own Business and Flexibility 09:40 &#8211; Telepractice software 10:59 &#8211; Specific Features 13:06 &#8211; Multi Modality Learning Approach 14:35 &#8211; Open Ended Built-in Tools 20:23 &#8211; Practice Management Features 22:15 &#8211; Additional Option 30:29 &#8211; Special Promo Code for PrivateSLP Listeners It kind of all started for me when I was in grad school, so we had to take a technology class and this class mainly focused on AEC devices. It also covered all over button of practice management and therapy software. And at some point and during this class our professor briefly mentioned that ASHA approved Tele practice and that one day we&#8217;ll be just doing therapy online. And so he really kind of planted this little seed in my brain and since that point I was doing a lot of research. I was taking CEO classes about a Telepractice. I did a lot of market research and I finally decided to build a Telepractice software. [Commercial] Well, Hello everyone you&#8217;re listening to the Speech Therapy Private Practice StartUp Podcast.

In a busy, growing speech therapy private practice, there simply isn&#8217;t enough time to make everything happen: Referrals, Faxing, Billing, Payments, Accounts Receivable, Follow Up, Service Delivery, Cleaning, Payroll, etc. That&#8217;s why the goal of every private practice owner should be redundancy. The question for every owner should be not HOW to do something, but WHO is going to take the task. In Episode 46, I answer three listener questions and then dive right into the steps to become redundant in speech therapy private practice! In this episode: 02:10 – Helping Others Through Speech Therapy Services 03:08 &#8211; Join the All Access Community 04:10 &#8211; Welcome Three New members 05:55 &#8211; Private practice flyer 07:20 &#8211; Private practice startup budget 09:50 &#8211; Deduction of fee for every Session 13:29 &#8211; What is redundancy 16:00 &#8211; Hiring and Training Staff 19:26 &#8211; You&#8217;re not responsible for everything And then all of a sudden, you&#8217;re farming out your payroll and you&#8217;re marketing to other companies or people in your business so you don&#8217;t have to do it all. I mean over time I found that the biggest question of, how am I going to get this done turn into this? Who&#8217;s going to do it? [Commercial] Well, Hello everyone you&#8217;re listening to the Speech Therapy Private Practice StartUp Podcast. This is episode number 46.

Welcome, if you wouldn&#8217;t mind to just start at the beginning and work your way up through all these episodes and you&#8217;ll see what we&#8217;re all talking about. We&#8217;re all talking about how to improve our lives, the quality of our lives so we can spend more time with our families and friends. And at the same time help other people get the services that they need through our clinics and our Speech therapy services. So that&#8217;s what this show is about, it&#8217;s to help you grow and scale or start your own Speech therapy private practice. And if you would like some help doing that, I have a ton of experience I&#8217;ve been doing Speech pathology work now for 26 years. And if you want to get some access to me it&#8217;s very simple. You can always just go to privateslp.com/membership, there you&#8217;ll see two ways to work with me hand in hand. You can do the Perfect student, that&#8217;s where you come into Tucson and you can just immerse yourself in our clinic and work with me one on one. Now that&#8217;s kind of difficult for a lot of people because they just can&#8217;t leave their job and take three or four weeks to get over to Tucson. But if you would like to work with me online that seems to be the easier option for most people and that&#8217;s where you can join the online All access community and you can work with me one on one. There&#8217;s a private coaching section in there. We just recently had our first online Zoom conference there where we had members fro...

In today&#8217;s episode, I have a great conversation about online and telepractice therapy services with the founder and CEO of BlinkSession.com, Eric DeGrove. Eric and his wife, Rikki DeGrove, CCC-SLP started a new outpatient clinic about 2 1/2 years ago, Sprout Therapy Services in Colorado Springs, CO but suddenly realized many of their patients were coming from far away.
