We know exactly how this feels. We have been there.

Hi! We are Ken Urie and Ernest Schmidt – two business coaches who are also group practice owners with multiple locations. We both realized that with a group practice, we could help many more people than we could by ourselves. In different states – and Ken with insurance based practice and Ernie with fee for service – our group practices have helped thousands struggling with life and relationship issues.
And we have helped solo practitioners around the country just like you successfully build Group Practices by helping them create easy to implement systems, find great clinicians to hire, and set fees so that the group practice is profitable from the start. Don’t go it alone. Let us help you navigate the myriad challenges of creating a smooth-running, profitable Group Practice.

Let us help you avoid costly mistakes.

Get your group practice started on the right foot.

You don’t have to re-invent the wheel.

11 Time Management Principles by Joe Bavonese.

You may not know this, but Joe Bavonese is a Productivity Ninja. He is gifting all participants in this program with his new productivity course. Here is what he says about it:

“Group Practice owners often struggle with staying organized and productive, with all the diverse tasks they must attend to every day. Because of all the activities, both personal and work-related, that I do every day and week, I’ve had to master time management. I been studying and implementing the best strategies for getting the most done every day, and will share with you my top 11 Time Management principles that you can easily implement in your own life.”

From Independent Contractor to Employee by Casey Truffo.

The Dynamex Supreme Court decision in California now makes it very difficult if not impossible for CA group practice owners to have independent contractors on staff. But how do you convert your contractors to employees? This pre-recorded class was created to give you a lot of information as to how to do that – from how to pay them to how to navigate the conversation in ways that will maintain your culture.

That said, it is not legal advice so you will hear me suggest contacting an employment attorney for any legal questions.

In this program, we cover:
  • Compensation models: Flat fee vs percentage.
  • Calculating what you really can afford to pay – so you don’t end up paying too much.
  • A structure (and sample spreadsheet) you can use when discussing the change with your clinicians.
  • How to set up your payroll process.
  • My attorney will be on one of the calls to answer our legal questions.
  • How to handle complaints re the transition …and much more.

What kinds of results can you expect?

Like most things, you get back what you put in. But let us share what some of our past graduates have achieved:

  • Another graduate was able to recover over $10,000 in past billings
  • Several graduates opened new locations – setting them up to generate tens of thousands of additional revenue
  • Others created systems and hired admin support which, for one graduate, resulted in a 59% improvement in converting callers to clients.

The fine print:

  • This mentorship program is not a drop-in program. You are committing at least 6 consecutive. Our goal is to help you start and prepare to build the Group Practice you really want and not ‘quit before the miracle.’ And what we as business owners know is that building a Group Practice is a marathon – not a sprint. There are no ‘quickie’ ways to long-term success. We are ready to partner with you – shoulder to shoulder with individualized feedback to help you build the business you want.
  • We want you to be successful, so we are only taking people who are motivated and ready to move their business to the next level.
