One of the hardest things about the role of group practice owner is letting contractors make their own business decisions.

Having a strong support system can help keep you motivated, provide encouragement, and ensure you stay on track toward your goals. These key relationships can make all the difference in your success and well-being.

As leaders, we often focus on being present, responsive, and engaged. But what if one of the most effective ways to lead is by giving yourself a time-out? Stepping back allows you to recharge, refocus, and ultimately become a more effective business owner.

A time-out can take many forms—daily, weekly, and even yearly—helping you maintain balance and stay connected to the bigger picture.

Taking the leap into a group practice can be daunting. If you don’t see yourself as a “business person,” the idea of managing others alone may feel overwhelming. It’s natural to consider bringing in a partner—someone to share responsibilities, costs, and liabilities.

Having a business partner can be incredibly rewarding, but it also comes with challenges. That’s why it’s essential to have a solid foundation in place before making it official.

When you’re just starting out with group practice, thinking about letting a therapist go might seem premature. After all, hiring is a big step, and you’ve put in effort to build your team. But just as it’s important to have clear systems for bringing people into your practice, it’s equally important to consider how people leave.

The key to making your dream group practice come true is to define what you want your future to look like and create a roadmap to get there. Let’s walk through the process together.

There’s this therapist in your group practice that has been on your radar for a while now. There are a number of signs that it’s time to let them go, but you’re waffling back and forth. So you’re asking yourself - how do I know if it’s time to let a therapist go and how do I do it?
