Should You Decrease Your Patient Hours? The Truth at Each Stage

Ever wondered if you’re treating too many patients — or not enough?

Pelvic PT Rising: The pelvic health tools to make you a better clinician and/or a more successful business owner. We want every single pelvic health practitioner to be more confident and successful in your practice and career!

• Clinical Courses: Game-changing online courses to make you more confident, challenge your thinking and improve patient outcomes

• Business Resources: Helping 500+ pelvic health practitioners confidently start, grow and build their dream business!

In this episode, we walk through Nicole's own journey, from solopreneur to running a 7-clinician practice.  At each stage, her responsibilities and patient hours shifted.  We (painfully) discuss the mistakes we made, what we’d do differently, and the myths that can trip up business owners.

We cover:

• The trade-offs of maxing out your patient schedule as a solopreneur.

• The real math behind revenue when you’re the only clinician.

• How to reassess your hours as you bring on staff.

• The biggest myth: that your clinicians won’t respect you if you’re not fully booked yourself.

• Why protecting your time is essential as your business (and life) grows.

Whether you’re a solopreneur seeing every patient or running a multi-clinician practice, this episode helps you rethink your hours and align your schedule with your goals.
