Think free downloads are outdated? Think again. One small, helpful resource can completely change how people see your practice - and how easy it is for them to say “yes” to working with you. In this episode of The Clinical Entrepreneur, I’m walking you through exactly how to create and use free resources (without the marketing lingo, tech overwhelm, or perfectionism). We’re talking checklists, mini-guides, or short videos that solve one small problem and make a big impact.   Here’s What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ What a free resource actually is (and why I’m ditching...

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,...

Think about the most well-known leaders in our field. They all have something in common: They’re not afraid to plant their flag.

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. When your patients feel uncertain about the journey ahead - when they don’t understand the process, the ups...

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. Your mind sounds like crickets (is that even a thing?). What should you talk about? What do your patients want or need to know? And why does everyone else make it look so EASY? But what if I told you that you could create an entire month’s worth of content in just ONE hour? No overthinking, no stressing, no wasting hours staring at a blank screen. Yep, that’s exactly what we’re talking about...
