Business Ownership (Definitely!) Isn't For Everyone

Often there's a rosy picture painted of business ownership, but the hidden reality is entrepreneurship is hard, anxiety-producing, and definitely not for everyone. We firmly believe anyone listening to this podcast CAN start their own business, but just because you can doesn't mean you should.There's a myth that business owners have unlimited time flexibility, financial freedom and wealth, and are sipping pina coladas on a beach on Wednesday mornings most weeks.In fact, you'll confront all of your personal demons, deal with risk on a daily basis and sacrifice time with family, self-care, and a steady paycheck.In this podcast we talk about doing an honest self-assessment.  How are you with risk?  What's your work ethic like?  Do you have anxiety around finances?  All of these will impact how you thrive as a business owner.Are you ready to sacrifice from other areas (your health, time with family, relationships, fun, vacations) in order to build your practice?Often there's a misconception - "I'll just see all the same people I was at my old job, but keep all the money for myself!"  In fact, over a 3-year timespan you'll probably make LESS running a business (even if it's successful), and you're giving up on financial stability.Starting a business is a big decision.  It's not for everyone.  It's not the 'next step' at some point in your career.  And it's not just because you couldn't find a job you loved. If you don't ever want to run your own business, we hope this podcast is validating!And if you're considering it, make sure you've done some true self-reflection.Downtraining & Vagus Nerve MasterclassFor those interested in learning more about working with the nervous system, check out the Downtraining and Vagus Nerve Treatment Masterclasses!  With Downtraining, we take a broad look at the three different types of downtraining to use with your patients.  In the Vagus Nerve masterclass (www.pelvicptrising.com/vagus), we take a deep dive into specific vagus nerve techniques you can use with all your patients.About UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to physical therapists to change the way we treat pelvic health.   PelvicSanity Physical Therapy (www.pelvicsanity.com) together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.Through Pelvic PT Rising, Nicole has created clinical courses (www.pelvicptrising.com/clinical) to help pelvic health providers gain confidence in their skills and provide frameworks to get better patient outcomes.  Together, Jesse and Nicole have helped 500+ pelvic practices start and grow through the Pelvic PT Rising Business Programs (www.pelvicptrising.com/business) to build a practice that works for them!  Get in Touch!Learn more at www.pelvicptrising.com, follow Nicole @nicolecozeandpt (www.instagram.com/nicolecozeandpt) or reach out via email ([email protected]).Check out our Clinical Courses, Business Resources and learn more about us at Pelvic PT Rising...Let's Continue to Rise!
