If you are like many Professionals I know, you have been practicing a while for someone else! You're thinking I could build my own practice, be my own boss and be in control of building my own wealth!
You've hit that ceiling where you have to start bringing in business and start your own book of business! You may have dreamt about being in business for yourself or even taken that first step toward building a practice; but you hesitate! You go to sleep at night with this uneasy feeling that you should be making a lot more money by now and achieving a level of success that still seems to elude you.
Perhaps the current economy has hit you hard, maybe your revenues and profits are falling faster than you want to admit, and you are finding it harder to land qualified clients. Your overhead is the same, but with revenues being down, you are taking home less now than ever before. Your career isn't happening the way you laid it out, the way you thought it would be when you went through school and then when you opened up your own practice. You realize this and you're ready to take action, but you know you need the right plan.
