87 | Taking the Longview of Your Private Practice – Lactation Business Coaching with Annie and Leah
“Even if you put down your best plans, just know they might not always go as planned.”
— Leah Jolly
In our lactation businesses, we want to plan long-term while also remaining open to new challenges and opportunities.
None of us can predict the future, but having a plan in place is a great way to know what you want your business to look like as it grows.
In this episode, we are diving headfirst into the wild ride that is running your own lactation private practice and letting you in on the things we wished we knew when starting out.
Listen now to discover:
- Planning and the importance of aligning values with vision for private practice (1:41)
- The challenges of creating an ideal client avatar and marketing strategies that may not align with lactation work (6:58)
- Why flexibility and adaptability are important for your business (14:30)
- Considerations and reflections on expanding the practice (17:51)
“I think it’s important to remember that you can be flexible and adaptable, and that’s a really great quality to keep in mind.”
— Leah Jolly
