SLP Three-piece Thursday 1. On business planning, focus, and website design

  1. On business planning: Start with your “why” – the goal or purpose that gives your lives a deeper meaning. Only then move onto the the “how” and “what”. (Check out Simon Sinek)
  2. On Focus: Distractions are everywhere. But deep work requires intention. Take back control. Focus on one task at a time. Schedule your work and free time. (See Cal Newport). Related reading: Speech pathologists: how to get it all done, even when you’re off your game or feeling burnt out
  3. On websites and social media: Design for central and peripheral vision. Break your information into bite-sized chunks. Use stories and scaffolds. Give your fans lots of ways to interact with you and your practice. (Read Susan Weinschenk).

So what to do you think? Do any of these ideas inspire you to change the way you plan or run your private practice? Let us know! Send a tweet to @speechiesbiz or leave a comment.
