Entrepreneurship: seeing a massive mountain and wondering how you’ll get to the top.

When I started my business 7 months ago, I wasn’t sure how it would evolve, but I knew I had to start laying a foundation and taking one step forward each week.

As clients steadily came in, I have shifted my policies, strengthened my intake process, and practiced setting boundaries to keep a schedule I desire.

I have taken slow and gentle steps, at my pace, to create a sustainable practice, while working with children and families that light me up.

I have had people reach out asking when I was opening doors to a clinic, if I would rent space, or if I was going to add employees. But I have practiced staying in the lane of where I want my business to be currently - which is a sole owner, offering in-home therapy, in charge of my schedule, and rooting into my values.

What I’ve learned over this time, is that there isn’t a “top” to the mountain. It’s a steady hike around the mountain. Choosing to hike a trail that will burn for a bit but take you to the next level. OR choosing a flat trail to step back and enjoy the process of what you’ve created.

Today I am celebrating 6 new referrals that have come my way in the past two weeks. I am settling into this momentum and feeling gratitude for this profession and how we can evolve it into something we desire.

“I could have done better”

Raise your hand if you’ve ended a therapy session with a client and had this thought 🙋🏻‍♀️

This is normal.

You are human and having “the perfect treatment session” each time isn’t realistic.

However!

Use this as an opportunity to asses what didn’t work.
Check in with yourself on why you weren’t in the best state of mind.
Reflect on where resistance was felt within the session.

Then remember 2 good things that DID occur within the session, even if minor.

Give yourself grace and come back with more insight next session 💪🏽
