Why Your Private Practice Goals Keep Stalling and How to Change That

You've followed the strategy to the letter and still didn't get the result you wanted, and this episode is about why that happens. I start with something unexpected that happened to me this week, a volunteer shift in a local bookstore that looked nothing like the version of "working in a bookstore" I'd been picturing for the last twenty years, and use it to talk about staying open to unexpected opportunities in business even when they don't match the picture in your head. Pinching yourself off from something just because it looks different can cost you more than you realise. Then I get into why business goals need a clear purpose behind them, not just a number, and how mindset vs strategy in private practice plays out with the women I mentor, including one who turned over nearly $200,000 in her first 12 months because her goal had a reason strong enough to keep her going when it got hard. I walk you through how to set goals for your private practice, why tracking KPIs in private practice is non-negotiable if you want to hit them, why self-accountability in private practice is on you and no one else, and why private practice goals Australia-wide get derailed by the same handful of mindset blocks, whatever your specialty. If you've ever wondered how long it takes to build a profitable private practice, I share the Australian Bureau of Statistics figure that might change how you're measuring your own progress. This one's for anyone thinking about how to grow a private practice in Australia and wondering why the goal alone isn't enough.

Q: How long does it take for a private practice to become profitable?A: The Australian Bureau of Statistics puts it at 24 to 36 months, so if you're three months into a 90-day sprint wondering why your diary isn't full, that's not a fair way to measure your progress.
