#291: Business Strategies For Clinic Owners with Stephen Smith

Building a business that reflects your values takes more than hard work. It takes intention, clear systems, and a vision that keeps you grounded when growth starts to feel overwhelming.Stephen Smith and I explore what it really takes to build an ethical, sustainable ABA practice without losing sight of why you started in the first place. We talk about the importance of defining your vision early, especially if you're starting a business with a partner, and why having the right legal and financial support can save you from major headaches down the road.We also dive into delegation, something every business owner struggles with at some point. Letting go of tasks can feel uncomfortable, but creating systems, documenting processes, and trusting your team are essential if you want to avoid burnout and create a business that can grow beyond you. I also share a few of the books and tools that have helped me think differently about leadership, delegation, and protecting my own creativity as a business owner. Whether you're just getting started or looking to strengthen an established practice, I think you'll walk away with practical ideas you can put into action right away.#autism #speechtherapyWhat’s Inside:Why every clinic owner needs a clear vision before focusing on growthBusiness systems, delegation, and avoiding burnoutThe legal and financial foundations every practice should havePractical books, tools, and strategies for building a sustainable businessMentioned In This Episode:Grab Say it With MeThe ABA Business Leader's Guide by Stephen Smith3 Pie SquaredEarn CEUs with a community of peers.
