How To Choose & Create Your Best Marketing Strategy I had a Question Submitted by Tom asking me, "What is my experience with Workshops and Digital Marketing?"  In other words, "How do you Create Your Marketing Strategy." It Basically comes down to 3 Questions. 1.What Type of Clinic Do You Want?2.What Are You Willing To Do?3.Trial & Error I’ve been there, and I still see it in our small but mighty community. https://handtherapysecrets.com/business-skills/ You got started on your therapy business because you wanted to make a difference and break the glass ceiling. What you didn’t realize how challenging it would be. You started that brick-and-mortar clinic or mobile practice. Got a few patients to fill your schedule but you are working more than you thought you would. Or maybe you started that online course. Created that course that every course creator told you you could. Now a few months or years later, you find yourself feeling stuck again and again.  

Starting Your Hand Therapy Clinic Before Getting Your CHT I got a really great question, about "Starting a Hand Therapy Clinic before becoming a  CHT?"YES! of course you CAN! Although, there are things to consider when you do. You gotta have a PLAN! Becoming a business owner…an entrepreneur…is NOT easy. It’s may not for everyone. But it’s for you if you are reading this. I’m an OT business owner that started out very much like you. I just wanted to fill my schedule and treat the way I wanted to treat. I was searching for the freedom that everyone in business talks about but all I found was being tied down to my patient schedule. I started out 10 years ago. Within the 1st year I was stuck…I knew the business I created needed help. I just didn’t know where to turn or who to turn to. The market is competitive, but I’ll tell you what….there’s plenty of room for us occupational therapists. Here’s what I’ve learned from being in the rooms with other therapy business owners (and non therapy related businesses). We can do it better. We just have to develop our business skills. Want to know what I’ve learned in the past 10 years growing my clinic, developing my online platforms, and charging premium for my services….
