Stepping into the clinic ownership arena is no walk in the park, and we're pulling back the curtain to reveal the unvarnished truth. Alongside Jack, we've dedicated this episode to guiding you through the ownership odyssey, tackling topics from time management to the entrepreneurial mindset needed to flourish. If you've been pondering whether to leap into healthcare business ownership, we guarantee insights that'll arm you with the knowledge to make an informed decision.

This episode peels back the layers of the mental shifts that new clinic owners must undergo, drawing from our own experiences and the wisdom of our Elevate program.

We also share our strategies for prioritizing and investing time and resources in ways that not only advance your practice but also ensure its sustainability.

Finally, we don't just stop at the challenges; we also equip you with the tools for success. We discuss the art of leveraging every moment for business growth, the role of AI in optimizing operations, and the significance of smart financial investments. As we wrap up, we invite you to become an active part of our community by leaving a review and continuing your growth journey with us. Every clinic owner's path is unique, but with the right guidance and community support, it can lead to a thriving destination.

Quotes
"I've put in so much time and money and effort. Surely there's gotta be an opportunity for me to be able to get some help and some mentorship.""Maybe failure is trying to carry everything on your own and not then connecting with others. Maybe that is where things aren't necessarily going to go well for you if you just try to be Atlas and carry the world.""But what is your worth? Don't you deserve to sleep at night? Don't you deserve to enjoy your children, to enjoy your pregnancy, to enjoy the holiday that you'd been waiting for for years?""What I love is those numbers ultimately end up in financial resources that you can invest in the client experience, invest in the team experience, and of course, take home something meaningful for you and your family, because that's important.""We are a Clinic for Good and we are connecting to people who might not necessarily feel that they can be included in some other mental health spaces.""There is only winning or learning, there is no losing."

Quotes
"ADHD is part of the normal spectrum of society, the same as height.""There's something about ADHD that can often be a little bit of an advantage where we seek out these high stimulus environments because there's a little bit of motivation in that stimulus.""I really want to help people... make those changes in how they're responding to the tricky stuff that shows up within us... so that we can be moving towards what actually really matters in our life.""I think that sometimes my ADHD actually kind of is a little bit of a strength here because it's like, I enjoy the novelty of shifting roles... I actually really thrive on that variety of what my week looks like.""I think business is a really great canvas for us to express that creativity and bring to life a vision that we have, say, for our client's experience and our team's experience, which is pretty cool"
