Module 27: Entrepreneurial Strategy and Private Practice Development
From Clinical Expert to Business Owner: Your Blueprint for Building a Thriving Practice.
From Practitioner to Proprietor: Mastering the Business of Care
Throughout your journey to becoming a CCPP, you have honed your clinical expertise to a razor’s edge. You have mastered the art and science of collaborative practice, learned to lead within complex health systems, and proven your ability to generate immense clinical value. You are, in essence, a master chef who can create world-class therapeutic outcomes.
This module marks the final, and perhaps most profound, shift in your professional mindset. It is time to learn how to build your own kitchen. Being a master chef does not guarantee a successful restaurant. To thrive as an owner, the chef must also master supply chain management, marketing, payroll, and financial forecasting. They must move from simply creating an excellent product to building a sustainable business around that product.
This module is your business school. We will move beyond the clinical and into the commercial, equipping you with the financial literacy, strategic frameworks, and entrepreneurial skills necessary to build a private practice or consulting firm from the ground up. You will learn to price your services, develop profitable service lines, navigate different payment models, and create a long-term strategy for growth. This is where your clinical expertise becomes a true professional asset, giving you the freedom to build a practice, a career, and a legacy on your own terms.
