Episode 55: Retired Therapist & Beyond! [featuring Katie Lemieux]

What does life look like for a retired therapist, and where do things go from there? Therapists have skills that can be applied to way more things than just butt-in-the-seat therapy, but we often have a hard time seeing our potential for ourselves. In this episode, I talk with Katie Lemieux, Retired Therapist, Licensed Realtor, Real Estate Investor, and Owner and Co-Founder of The Homeowners Agent Empowered by La Rosa Realty Beaches" We talk about... How and why Katie retired from being a therapist to start other entrepreneurial ventures How "systems" can be used to create TRUE freedom How having a business a business partner is like getting married (and why business partner "divorce" plans should be discussed at the beginning) How to create Passive Income that is ACTUALLY passive! How the ego can be the killer of having a true business How systems and trust are needed for a healthy business that can function well without you having to do all the work Grab Katie's Free Offer: "Your Dream Private Practice Playbook" ------------------------------------------------------- 🎙️ Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast here: www.allthingspractice.com/all-things-private-practice-podcast 🎙️Spotify: atppod.com/spotify 🎙️Apple Podcasts: atppod.com/apple 🎙️Google Podcasts: atppod.com/google 🗨️ Join the All Things Private Practice FB Community:  www.facebook.com/groups/privatepracticebuilding ---------------------------- A Thanks to Our Sponsor!

As you prepare for the new year as a private practice owner, one area of your business where you might be able to level up your client experience is from the moment that they enter your office and check in with you. For many private practices, the client check-in process can be a bit awkward and confusing. Clients often enter into an empty waiting room. And chances are you're wrapping up a session with someone else, so there's no way of knowing when they arrive. With a visitor management system like The Receptionist for iPad, you can provide clients with a discreet and secure way to check in for their appointment while instantly being notified of their arrival. What's more, The Receptionist offers an iPad list check-in option where clients can scan a QR code to check in, which negates the need for you to buy an iPad and stand.
