53. Private Practice for Dummies

In Episode 53, Gerda strips private practice back to basics and reminds us that simplicity is often the secret to success. 

Inspired by the iconic “For Dummies” series, Gerda uses humour and real talk to break down what actually matters in running a thriving group practice (no complicated jargon or overwhelming checklists required).

You’ll discover the three essential elements every private practice needs, how they work together, and what goes wrong when you neglect any one of them. 

Plus, she shares the three behaviours that separate sustainable, successful practices from those stuck on the hamster wheel of doom.

In this Episode, you will learn (among others):

• The three non-negotiables for building a sustainable, profitable group practice (hint: it’s not just about getting more clients).
• Why clear expectations, communication, and boundaries are the real secret sauce behind every high-functioning team and happy owner.
• How to make the identity shift from clinician to business owner and why it’s essential for long-term success.

Who This Episode Is For:

• Allied health practice owners who want to cut through the noise and focus on what really matters.
• Clinicians thinking about starting or scaling a group practice and want a clear, practical roadmap.
• Owners ready to simplify, set better boundaries, and finally build a business they can’t stop smiling about.

Tune in for a refreshingly simple, honest, and actionable conversation that will help you create a private practice that’s both successful and sustainable.
