In Episode 28, I talk about the cost of doing business. When I was very young, my dad (who was a hard-working plumber with an 8th grade education – he had over 100 employees in his plumbing contracting company) made me work hard. I hated all of the physical labor at that time, but reflecting back now, I see how it was a very important time for me. As a private practice and real estate owner, I still use these lessons today.

Bright shiny objects (BSOs) are what destroy our motivation, desire and drive to start our speech therapy private practice. It’s seems like wherever we turn, BSOs are distracting us from our ultimate goal: Start, grow and scale our very own speech therapy private practice. Some of the more common BSOs are Facebook, email, Twitter and surfing the web. In this episode, I talk about BSOs and ways to keep it simple so that we can create an offer that converts. Without an offer that converts, you’re not in business.
