We discuss... the differences between running a solo vs. group practice motivations behind building group practices our own stories of the biggest mistakes (like me overpaying my clinicians by $75,000 one year) and how we handled them and learned from them the ethics and considerations that go into managing a group and being a leader AND MORE Check out Maureen's Website: thegrouppracticeexchange.com ------------------------------------------------------- 🎙️ Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast here: www.allthingspractice.com/all-things-private-practice-podcast 🎙️Spotify: atppod.com/spotify 🎙️Apple Podcasts: atppod.com/apple 🎙️Google Podcasts: atppod.com/google 🗨️ Join the All Things Private Practice FB Community: www.facebook.com/groups/privatepracticebuilding ---------------------------- A Thanks to Our Sponsor!

Mentioned in this episode: A Thanks to Our Sponsor, The Receptionist for iPad! I would also like to thank The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode. As you prepare for the new year as a private practice owner, one area of your business where you might be able to level up your client experience is from the moment that they enter your office and check in with you. For many private practices, the client check-in process can be a bit awkward and confusing. Clients often enter into an empty waiting room. And chances are you're wrapping up a session with someone else, so there's no way of knowing when they arrive. With a visitor management system like The Receptionist for iPad, you can provide clients with a discreet and secure way to check in for their appointment while instantly being notified of their arrival. What's more, The Receptionist offers an iPad list check-in option where clients can scan a QR code to check in, which negates the need for you to buy an iPad and stand. Go to thereceptionist.com/privatepractice and sign up for a free 14-day trial. When you do, you'll get your first month free. And don't forget to ask about our iPad list check-in option.
