Hitting $100,000 in private practice can sound like a huge—and sometimes completely unrealistic—milestone.
But what does a $100K practice actually look like?
In this episode, Amber breaks the number down and shows why reaching six figures isn't necessarily about packing your schedule with as many clients as possible. Your fee, number of working weeks, cancellation rate, expenses, and overall practice model all affect what $100K actually requires.
Rather than chasing an arbitrary revenue goal, you'll learn how to work backward from the numbers and decide what kind of practice makes sense for the income—and life—you actually want.
Listeners will learn:
- What "$100K in private practice" actually means
- The difference between gross revenue and personal take-home income
- How your session fee changes the caseload needed to reach your revenue goal
- Why you need to account for vacations, cancellations, no-shows, and business expenses
- How to calculate the number of sessions you actually need each week
- Why increasing revenue doesn't automatically require increasing your caseload
- How to evaluate whether your income goal fits the practice you want to build
