Episode #798: Breaking the Cycle of "Just One More Client"

You know that feeling when you set a number you need to hit each month, get close to it, and then take on just one more client & suddenly the number's moved again? Today I'm joined by Rebecca Smith, a Limitless Practice grad with a premium fee private pay practice in New Orleans, who texted me about this exact thing last week while she was over full herself. We get into why that income number has to come from real math (bills, retirement, your kid's college fund, slumps) instead of a round number that just feels right, plus what to do with any money you make above it. Rebecca shares how she uses her actual client roll-off rate to know how much marketing pressure she really needs, & why blocking off which hours you're even open for new consults can protect your caseload without you having to say no out loud. We also get into why this whole thing isn't a one-time fix but a muscle you keep exercising for as long as you're in practice.
