Most professionals start a private practice for freedom. But the daily reality doesn't match the initial intent. They end up stuck. Heavy caseload. Managing employees. Fighting insurance companies and bureaucracy. Burnout that's either present or right around the corner. I know because I lived it There's another way, but it requires a different mindset. It might mean trading ego for simplicity.
Releasing the idea that everything has to revolve around you. Pruning. But when you can go for a random long-weekend trip with your family without notice and the practice keeps humming... Who cares about ego?
Remember why you started.
