You did it! You finally created an PLLC, opened a biz bank account, launched your website, and are waiting for your new clients. You might be accepting insurance under a group practice or are doing your own thing.
Regardless, you get 7 consults. All at the same time. You are meeting your new potential clients.
They are manageable and you are feeling good about each of them. But when you look at the calendar, dread sets in.
"How can I sustain this?"
"How can I see 15 clients in one week indefinitely?"
"Am I going to make it through the week?"
You are wondering, how did I get from being thirsty for clients to very overwhelmed so quickly?
My guess is that you didn't evaluate client fit. You don't have a process in place to schedule clients on auto mode. You are troubleshooting schedule concerns after the fact. You are swimming in paperwork with insurance.
When you signed up to be a MH clinician, you didn't think that you were not going to enjoy it. But now you feel defeated.
Why?
It's because we make decisions in our PP from our therapist hat, not our CEO hat.
Our therapist hat says, "how can I help as many people as I can?"
Our CEO self says "what is best for my clients and best for me?"
Our therapist self says "how can I squeeze in as many clients as possible without burning out?"
our CEO self says "what is my intention for my caseload? How do I want to thrive?"
This episode invites you to notice, who is in the driver's seat making these decisions. Tune in and find out
