“It was my second attempt at private practice; my first attempt left me in the red before I decided to take a job with a steady paycheck.
I wanted this time to be different.
I read all the books, attended recorded trainings, but I was still missing something.
I’d had already spent a sizable amount on my practice before I decided to join TPA.
And so much has changed since TPA.
I got the support and motivation I needed to do some of the tough parts (like actually picking up a phone and talking with other business owners).
I learned how to do the things that are really important, and I got out there and hustled.
During the lean days, I got support from TPA to stay the course, and now I feel like I’m in the promised land.
I can take vacations without feeling attached to my phone.
I can make as much money as I want, or I can choose to work less and devote more time to my personal life.
What’s more, I learned how to command a fee that I feel like I deserve, instead of settling for what an employer is willing to pay me. And I have people reaching out to me for guidance on how to build a practice.
However, most important of all – TPA gave me freedom.
Freedom to be my own boss.
Liberty to work on what’s important instead of showing up the office so that I “can be seen.”
I have the autonomy to build the life I want, and I’m even exploring new revenue streams – now I can truly say I’m not just a counselor, I’m an entrepreneur.”
