Support protects your energy.
Energy protects your patients.
And everything builds from there.

What kind of support would make the biggest difference for you right now?

These are the necessary documents to apply for a new state license and credentialing.

Also, if you’re reading this, it’s time to update your CV. 😉

2026 can be different. Let’s get started.

“I can do this myself” is rarely a question.
It’s a default.

But building a sustainable practice requires a different filter:
Should I be the one doing this?

That one question changes how you hire, delegate, and protect your energy. I break this down more in this week’s podcast episode. When to hire help, what to delegate, and how to stop carrying everything alone. https://tinyurl.com/4jtut2rt

Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.

Your time, energy, and clinical judgment are not interchangeable with administrative work.
That distinction matters. Especially when you’re building something sustainable.

What’s one task on your plate right now that doesn’t actually require you?

Lack of control over one’s schedule is a primary driver of burnout.

What can you do to regain control?

- Learn the skill of relationship based market
- Develop a wide referral network based on trust in your expertise
- Master template your schedule so that you have the work
- Partner with your employer to optimize your calendar
- Decide ultimately if this is the environment in which you can work long term.

You are not a victim - you are an experienced professional who deserves to have a practice in which you and your patients can thrive

What is the best thing you’ve ever done to manage your schedule?

For me shifting my work hours and having scheduled breaks during my day, maintains my energy and focused. What about you?

But for real though.

I coached on perfectionism for years only to realize I was prepping myself for the messy entrepreneur journey.

Having a plan and community helps you move forward with imperfect action and only after DOING do you develop confidence.

✨Micropractice Mastermind✨ designed for exactly that. We start January 7.

12/10/2025

Start by answering these questions:

• Who am I serving?
• What problem am I solving?
• How long does it take to solve it?
• What structure supports that transformation?
• What model supports the life I want to live?
When you answer those, the business model becomes obvious.

Pricing becomes obvious too.
Because it aligns with the value and the result.

Comment CALM DOWN for a clarity worksheet that will walk you through this process.

Physicians think they are selling expertise.
Patients are buying a result.

Examples:
• Diabetes visit → patient is buying lower A1C
• UTI symptoms → patient is buying relief
• Menopause care → patient is buying symptom relief and feeling normal again
• ADHD evaluation → patient is buying answers and a plan
• DPC membership → access, one stop shopping, affordable primary care

If you do not know the result you sell, you cannot choose a business model.

this is what we discussed in the ✨Micropractice Mastermind✨ Our next cohort begins January 7.

What do you sell in your practice?
