Course Details

As a sole practitioner, you're facing unprecedented challenges in today's competitive landscape – from increasing client expectations and regulatory complexities to the pressure of scaling without burning out. The traditional "time-for-money" model is no longer sustainable, and many solo practitioners find themselves trapped in a cycle of working harder, not smarter. You'll discover how to break free from the feast-or-famine cycle, implement systems that work to help you reclaim your time and strategies for working out where that time is best spent.

 

In this course Lara Manton covers the following topics:

  • How to use the spoon theory to build a practice that works for you
  • Why you should focus on what you enjoy rather than trying to do it all
  • How to offer all the services by using your network rather than staff
  • Suggested tools to implement internally & with clients
  • Why being a sole practitioner doesn’t mean you’re alone
