Specifically, people are very curious about how to allocate money in private practice. How much should I be making? How much should be profit? How much do I save for taxes? How much can I spend on testing materials? Today, I’m tackling some of those questions. Note that the vast majority of this material is drawn from the book Profit First for Therapists, by my friend and colleague Julie Herres.  Cool Things Mentioned The Testing Psychologist mastermind groups and business consulting Profit First for Therapists book Simple Profit for Mental Health Professionals Facebook group Featured Resource I am honored to partner with two AMAZING companies to help improve your testing practice!

My intent is to chronicle this journey in relative real-time, providing you all with an inside look into the process. Warning: this will be messy!

I was emailing with one of my former consulting clients the other day, and they said, “2024 is going to rock. I can feel it in my bones.” I love this mentality! Even though you can technically make changes at any point in your life or during the year, people love new years b/c of the clear demarcation of old vs. new. To that end, let’s talk about ideas for moving forward and prioritizing what matters most over the coming months.

Part of my job as the visionary for our practice is to dive deep into trends that could influence our practice, generate ideas for improvement, and keep my finger on the pulse of the industry. Today, I’m sharing some of the topics that I’m thinking about for 2024. Not all of these ideas will directly impact our practice of course, but I think it’s valuable to brainstorm and identify potential areas for growth and monitoring as we continue to level up our practices.

For the first time, I’ve considered that the podcast might hit the 10-year mark eventually – very exciting! I continued to have the incredible fortune of interviewing truly amazing guests. At some point this year, we passed 1M downloads. The podcast is the bedrock for my consulting and this year led to the first annual Crafted Practice retreat (tease next year’s retreat). I’ve also been fortunate to continue having PAR as a sponsor, to bring you updates and new testing materials. I’m excited to say that I’ll be introducing a new sponsor next year as well   As always, thank you all for listening and spreading the word about the podcast.
