Knowing your WHY will help you make better decisions as you start your new business – your own private practice.
When you are ready to take that big step into anything from starting your practice to quitting your full time job, it can feel so good and brings a huge smile to your face.
We all know what that feeling feels like. When we are 100% certain about our decision and ready to move forward. Usually, that decision has taken time to cultivate and grow into action and along the way you might have spent time thinking about your why. Or I hope you have thought about your why! In today’s blog post we are going to go into depth looking at your why for jumping into the private practice.
Questioning Why
I am going to be talking about starting your practice as the big life change and this exercise can be used on any life change. Feel free to interchange them the way you need them.
You are about to make a HUGE life shift, get excited! When you start to think about that life change do you get butterflies in your tummy and feel all giddy and a bit nauseous? Good! That’s exactly what you should be feeling when you are on the right path to follow your dreams. It will feel excited and scary all at once. I like to call is joy terror!
In order to get to you true why I want you to ask yourself a few questions.
- Why are you wanting to leave your current job?
- Why are you wanting to put in more work and effort into starting a practice?
- What will starting your practice proved your life? (more time with family, more $$, more???)
- How will having a private practice change the way you feel about your work?
- If you don’t start your practice how will you continue in your current job?
Why Statement
