#6 Quit Your Job and Start a Private Practice

Feeling stuck in your 9-5 job and thinking about starting your own private practice? Keep reading and listen to this episode on Private Practice Lounge, as I spill the beans on how to smoothly switch from your full-time gig to being your own boss. 

Welcome to Private Practice Lounge, a podcast dedicated to providing therapists with the tools and knowledge they need to achieve success in their private practices. I’m Janessa Borges, a first gen Latina therapist, that teaches other therapists how to grow successful full paying private practices with zero stress.

Leaving your current job to start your private practice or business requires careful planning and execution, but it’s not impossible. I recommend beginning by assessing your readiness, creating a solid business plan, and addressing legal and financial considerations such as licenses, billing systems, and insurance. Effective marketing strategies, including social media and networking, are essential for attracting clients and establishing your brand.

Transitioning from employee to entrepreneur can be challenging but rewarding, amiguita! But with dedication and perseverance, you can successfully navigate this journey and achieve all of your professional goals.

Resource: Are you ready to stop playing small and scale your business?

I’m an expert in reading people, and extracting what you WANT to say and communicate it clearly and effectively to those you want to connect with. (Like a translator)

I put all the puzzle pieces together and help you apply it to your business.

One of the challenges in all the podcasts you’ve listened to, or the expensive programs and coaching you’ve paid for, is that you just didn’t quite get the success you were hoping for.

You didn’t have the individualized help you needed to apply it, or the coaches you have worked with just didn’t “get you.” Right?

The best programs work BUT you need a side-kick to help you apply all you’ve learned (and all you’re missing) so you get the results YOU need!

Even with all of their secret sauces, magic recipes, and playbooks you seem to be missing something…the secret ingredient to make it work for YOU.

My gift is seeing past where you’re stuck. I can see your vision, pull it out of your heart and your mind and create results.

I make sure your gifts are highlighted in a way that speaks to your ideal client, so they say “I want to work with HER!”
