Podcast Sponsor: Therapy Notes
As a therapist, I can tell you from experience that having the right EHR is an absolute lifeline. I recommend using TherapyNotes. They make billing, scheduling, notetaking, telehealth, and E-prescribe incredibly easy. Best of all, they offer live telephone support that’s available 7 days a week.
You don’t have to take my word for it – Do your own research and see for yourself – TherapyNotes is the #1 highest-rated EHR system available today, with 4.9 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot.com and on Google.
All you have to do is click the link below, or type promo code JOE on their website www.therapynotes.com, and receive a special 2-month trial, absolutely free.
If you’re coming from another EHR, TherapyNotes will import your demographic data quickly and easily at no cost, so you can get started right away.
Trust me, don’t waste any more of your time, and try TherapyNotes.

What does a stable practice look like?
Of course, a stable practice will look different depending on the values, vision, and mission that it was built around.
However, some commonalities help to stabilize any practice:
- Do you have a clear vision?
- Is it in writing?
- Is it followed by everyone in the company?
- Is everyone in the company adhering to the core values?
There are all of these different things that are a part of what it means to have your company or group practice be one that’s stabilized.
Shaelene Kite
Additionally, how do you as the practice owner feel? Are you feeling stressed out and anxious about your practice, or relatively calm, even excited and motivated? How do your clinicians and staff feel?
That also plays a part in whether or not your practice is running at a good pace for everyone involved.
Your vision helps you to stabilize
The stabilization of your business or company … part of that comes from having a clear vision.
Shaelene Kite
Your vision is the destination to which you are guiding your group practice, like a port on the other side of an ocean, and you need to guide the ship of your practice toward that port.
If you do not know to which port you are sailing, then no wind is favorable, and you will end up going in circles because you do not know where to go or how to measure how far you’ve come.
[Ask yourself] Are the things that I’m working on today relevant to that [destination]?
Shaelene Kite
Stick with your plans
Stay committed to the tasks that you set up for yourself and for your practice.
If you get distracted by each new exciting thing, you will end up sabotaging your progress by putting your attention elsewhere instead of where it needs to be to get you moving forward.
So, be careful about blindly following trends or doing the things that someone else is doing just because it looks cool doing it.
Be able to stay relevant and … attached to the vision and the values that you have [because] that’s a great space to be in, and there’s more peace there than [feeling] scatter-brained.
