The Testing Psychologist Podcast

Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. In my ongoing quest to keep this podcast fresh, I’m trying out a new angle for a few business episodes. Our practice is currently implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System, or EOS, as we scale. 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 hope to keep it as real as possible, and sometimes “real” means complicated and challenging. This series is admittedly more relevant for larger group practice owners, but the principles are applicable across all levels of business. Today, I’m talking about our first quarterly pulsing from year two!

She takes the leap to join me for a live coaching call that will likely resonate with many of you who also own group practices. Leslie and I get into a couple of questions that all of us will wrestle with at some point as our practices grow: how do you make the shift from “doing it all” (hurting your practice and burning yourself out) to “doing what you want”? And is it “worth it” to go through this transition? If you’ve ever considered how you spend your time as an owner or want to move toward more of a visionary role, this one is for you!
