3 Reasons Why Your Private Practice May Not Be Growing

I remember shortly before I decided to go into private practice full-time. I was lead to take a paid course on how I could grow my business.  My coach asked us the question, “if someone attempted to find you on Google what keywords would they use to search for you.” Instantly I thought that at a minimum, my friends and loved ones would include “social worker” in their search.  I was really surprised at how many random responses I received. For a moment I felt a bit insignificant.  I thought “wow, nobody knows what I’m doing and if my friends don’t know what I’m doing, how in the world will anyone else?.”
