If you’ve been thinking about starting a private practice, you’ve probably told yourself, “I’ll open in about 12 months.”

In this episode, I break down why that timeline often doesn’t work—and how to build one that actually does.

I share what my timeline looked like (January → April → July) and how I structured my time while still working full-time.

We’ll talk about tying your timeline to real decisions, building it around your actual life, and what to do when delays happen.
