I Get Scared, Too
I'm talking about that deep down, pit of your stomach, failure fear that comes with owning your own business. This week we're going to mix it up a bit. For those that have been around for a while, you're used to me writing. Instead, the always-awesome Keri Nola and I pulled back the practice-building curtain and get real in a video. It's pretty darn vulnerable and it's the "lipstick-free" version of how we feel in our businesses sometimes. OF COURSE we want you to think we've got it all together, but it's not true. While my private practice is my version of a safe job, my practice-building business brings up the same insecurities you may be feeling as you transition from your safe job to private practice. And ultimately, that's okay. It's confrontive and that's tolerable.
