Description
You are passionate about the clinical work you do but sometimes you can get so focused on your clients that you forget you need to nurture your business also. You didn’t become a lactation consultant because you wanted to be an entrepreneur - but here you are!We didn’t start out with a business mindset, both of us were just excited about the opportunity to help more families. It was a hard lesson to learn that we can’t just serve our clients, but that we also need to run a business.Treating your business and yourself as the business owner the same way you’d treat your clients means that your whole focus is on providing care. That energy builds and grows and radiates outward. You can’t care for someone else unless you are being cared for yourself. That’s where the circle of care comes in. Listen in as we discuss how to build and maintain a strong business so that you can bring your full-self to your clients’ care.“What I put into my business, my business is going to give back to me” In this episode, we will cover:How looking at your business as something that needs to be cared for shifts your focus from thinking of your business as just a bank account (3:00)The importance of treating your business and yourself as the business owner the same way you’d treat your clients (9:48)Why treating your practice as a business is not just good for you but for the clients you serve (16:50)How as a lactation consultant you are the beginning of the circle of care for your clients (19:33) Like this episode?

Growing Your Lactation Practice By Hiring Help: Many lactation consultants are used to working solo, and it can be hard to surrender certain aspects of your private practice to others. But if you feel like you’re spending too much time on tasks that take you away from the clinical work you love, it may be time to bring on people who can share the workload. In this episode, Annie and Leah discuss when to recognize when you need help and where you can hire help in your business. “When you’re pushing and trying to do everything yourself, there will be long-term health consequences that will cost you money down the road.” In this episode, we will cover: -Realizing that time is just as finite as money helps you see that when you have more time for the things you want to do you might actually make more money -Writing down your weekly and monthly tasks outside of your IBCLC responsibilities and assess what tasks might be good to hire out -These tasks are likely things that someone else is m by Lactation Business Coaching with Annie and Leah
