I was ambitious and driven therapist. Willing to "kill" myself to find success. I wanted to make money and find freedom for myself and my family.
My strategy was simple. Work harder and longer than everybody else. Dig deeper and eventually I'll find what I was looking for.
After 18 months I literally developed a bald spot in the back of my head from the stress that I was going through. I had a superpower of grit and determination, however, this superpower finally became my kryptonite.
I was at a fork in the road. I needed help, but I was scared. But I knew that if something didn't change then I was going to lose my health and my most important relationships.
I hired a business coach and learned that MORE was not the answer. It was actually something DIFFERENT. Over the next 6 months my business.... and my life... slowly began to transform.
- I stepped out of treatment.
- I asked my team for help.
- I leaned into discomfort and fought like heck.
4 years later.......
Last month I was able to take a 1 week vacation to Mexico with my wife while my businesses grew without me being present.
My life is nowhere near perfect, but I can tell you that I am truly happier and more connected to my work than I have ever been. I've found some of what was looking for and I want to share it with the world.
If you find yourself on a similar journey, or you are a practice owner who wants something "Different" out of your business, then comment "Something Different" below.
Let's regain control of our business and build the impact that we've always wanted.
Be Blessed,
