Many therapists starting private practice consider working with a partner.
Some may feel motivated by impostor syndrome around going into business alone, or they may just have a friendly relationship with another therapist and think that starting a business together sounds great.
Whatever the reason, partnerships can be really amazing, but they also can be complicated and not go as planned, so it's important to establish the expectations, boundaries, and "break up" from the beginning.
If you've ever considered a business partnership for private practice, then this episode is for you.
In this episode, I talk with Kate Campbell, PhD, LMFT, and Katie Lemieux, LMFT, co-owners of The Private Practice Startup.
Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:
- Understand why a good partnership begins with planning for "divorce."
- See how Kate and Katie have expanded their business ventures and maintained a successful partnership for over a decade.
- Identify the qualities of a healthy and successful business partnership, and learn how to set the foundations for one.
If you are considering having a business partner for your private practice, take the time to prepare and plan from the start. With a plan that takes you from the beginning to the literal end, you'll be in the best position to make a partnership that works and thrives.
