55. Three Reasons Why you will Never have a Self-Running Practice

In Episode 55, Gerda gets real about what’s holding so many practice owners back from building the self-running business they dream of. 

With her signature honesty and a dose of tough love, she unpacks the three big reasons most practice owners never achieve true freedom and why it’s not about working harder, hiring more, or just wishing things were different.

Gerda shares her own journey to a self-running practice and explains what it actually takes to step away from the day-to-day - without everything falling apart.

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

• What a true 'self-running practice' really looks like (and why it’s possible for you, too).
• The three core barriers that keep owners chained to their business and how to break free.
• Why asking for help early, being patient with the process, and choosing the right support are non-negotiable for long-term success.

Who This Episode Is For:

• Private practice owners who are tired of carrying the whole business on their shoulders.
• Leaders who want more freedom, flexibility, and a business that doesn’t rely on them 24/7.
• Anyone ready to ditch the burnout cycle and finally build a practice they can’t stop smiling about.

Tune in for a candid, empowering conversation and walk away with the clarity and courage to start building your own self-running practice.
