S2 E12: How to Stop Being the Bottleneck in Your Business
The Clinical Entrepreneur
I’ll admit it - I was the biggest roadblock in my own business. When I asked my team what wasn’t working, all roads led straight back to me. And honestly? It stung. But it also revealed the exact places where I needed to step back, delegate, and stop micromanaging. And here’s what I realized: Most wellness practitioners - whether they have a team or are working solo - are the biggest bottlenecks in their own business. Why? Because we care. A lot. 👉We think, “No one will do this as well as I do.” 👉We tell ourselves, “It’s just faster if I handle it myself.” 👉We worry,...

The Clinical Entrepreneur
Ever had a patient disappear into thin air? One minute, they’re all in, excited about their treatment plan, and the next - GHOSTED. No calls, no follow-ups, no explanation. 🙄 If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Was it me? Was it the cost? Did I say something weird?” - take a deep breath. It’s not just you, and it’s (probably) not about money. Patients don’t drop off because they don’t want to get better… they drop off because they don’t know what to expect.

If creating content makes you want to scream into a pillow or run in the opposite direction, you’re not alone. 🤯 You sit down, determined to finally post something, and then… you draw a blank.
