What 11 Years in Private Practice Actually Teaches You with Luba Patlakh

Some people build a business and figure it out as they go. Luba Patlakh - Kaplun, M.S. CCC-SLP, OMT is one of them.After 11 years, two locations in Philadelphia, a mobile therapy bus, a nonprofit preschool program, and a team of 20 administrative staff, Luba has a lot to say about what the figuring out actually looked like. And in this episode, she holds nothing back.This is not a conversation about systems and strategies. It is about what happens inside the person building the thing. The moment you realize you do not know everything and have to get comfortable with that. The day you hit a wall doing everything yourself and finally make your first hire. The shift that happens when you stop trying to make everyone do things your way and start trusting people to find their own rhythm.As Luba puts it, putting the puzzle of the business together was easier than the emotional transition of learning how to be with people and with yourself through the change.What you will hear in this episode:Why letting go of the "I know everything" mindset is one of the most important things you can do for your growthWhat burnout looked like for Luba and why her first hire changed everythingHow delegating transformed Kidology and what she learned about trusting people to do things differently than she wouldThe reason behind what you are building matters more than any strategy you will ever useWhat separates the people who rise quickly from those who stay stuck, and why it almost always comes down to the inner workYour business can only grow to the level of the problems you can handle. This episode is about building the capacity to handle more.Have a question for the show?
