Should You Decrease Your Patient Hours? The Truth at Each Stage

August 28, 2025

Ever wondered if you’re treating too many patients — or not enough?

In this episode, we walk through Nicole's own journey, from solopreneur to running a 7-clinician practice. At each stage, her responsibilities and patient hours shifted. We (painfully) discuss the mistakes we made, what we’d do differently, and the myths that can trip up business owners.

We cover:

The trade-offs of maxing out your patient schedule as a solopreneur.
The real math behind revenue when you’re the only clinician.
How to reassess your hours as you bring on staff.
The biggest myth: that your clinicians won’t respect you if you’re not fully booked yourself.
Why protecting your time is essential as your business (and life) grows.

Whether you’re a solopreneur seeing every patient or running a multi-clinician practice, this episode helps you rethink your hours and align your schedule with your goals.
