The Elite Nurse Practitioner Show Justin Allan, FNP

Today we'll be talking to Nicole (ACNP) and Robert  (LPN), a married couple currently working full-time at a ketamine clinic and as an executive director at a senior living facility respectively. They're about to open their own business, a med spa where they'll offer IV infusion, HRT, aesthetics, and a few other services. Nicole and Robert need help with the start-up process, regulatory considerations, and a general plan for their practice's success. 

In this episode, we talk about the importance of knowing the services other providers offer in your area, that way you'll know what to offer to cover the needs of your potential clients. IV infusion it's a good product to provide but we don't recommend basing your whole practice on it, instead use it as a complement to services where you'll have a bigger income investing less of your time, especially if you have little to no competition from other practice's with those services in your area. 

Today we'll be talking to Jasmine a PMHN currently working part-time at an intensive outpatient center who recently started a binge-eating telemedicine practice, she has very few clients and comes to the show looking for help with telemed marketing success, scope of practice considerations, and how to navigate the process of leaving her current job and diving into her practice full time.

This episode it's full of pearls for those looking to start or grow their telemedicine practice, for starters your website is a vital part of a telemed business, it has to be straight to the point and interesting to catch your potential patient's attention, and you also have to try out and experiment with diverse marketing channels as well as good old-fashioned phone calls to potential referral sources. A telemedicine practice can be a fantastic business if you find your niche and promote it successfully. 

Today we'll be talking to Jason an FNP working full-time at a reproductive health clinic who wants to venture out on his own and stop working for others, he recently started an IV hydration business that's moving slowly and Jason comes to the show looking for help on how to grow his patient volume and make his practice successful.

In this episode, we remember that some areas are not really interested in some services and that's why you shouldn't be afraid to pivot on what you provide, either by changing the services you offer or including new ones. You have to listen to the people and provide what they need, in some instances, it might be difficult to change your practice's focus if you've built it around a specific service line but changing your services to cover the needs of the area you're in will be more profitable and will allow you to grow your business, don't be afraid to pivot!. 

Today we'll be talking to Nichole, a dual-certified FNP/ACNP working full time on her own practice that she started a year ago. Nichole's practice offers primary care, HRT, weight loss, and aesthetics in a medical spa-type setting within the practice. Nichole has been feeling overwhelmed in her business, with less personal time and freedom than she had even when she was an employee, and she comes to the show looking for help on how to hire another provider to offload some of the work and how to keep growing her practice successfully.
 
In this episode, we discuss how it's completely normal to feel bound to your business at the start of its success. When you're the single provider in your practice, taking care of a large patient volume will reduce your free time significantly.
 
The next logical step in this situation is to bring in a second provider that will help you offload some of the work and get some of your time back.  A successful business will take a lot of your time at first, but smart hiring and delegating responsibilities will lead you to true financial independence in the long run.
