Therapists are trained to take care of people, but are rarely trained to successfully run or care for a business. Developing business skills is essential in providing options and perspectives for therapists. This presentation will provide proven 'best practices' and a foundation for therapists who may want to set up and run their own business, either individually or as a group. Through anecdotes, process-sharing, and mathematical formula, attendees will receive the tools necessary to make better business decisions and profitable endeavors.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will identify the types of business structures available in private practice
- Participants will explain the personal, professional, and financial factors that underlie successful private practice
- Participants will list two ways to track practice development goals
- Participants will discuss a practical approach for creating a business plan for private practice
