Practicing Because You Want To, Not Because You Have To With Kathleen Faris Troust, DPT: Episode 199
Practicing Because You Want To, Not Because You Have To With Kathleen Faris Troust, DPT
Can you imagine what it would be like to practice because you want to, not because you have to? How would you show up differently for your patients or clients? Would you be less in a rush and more present with them? Would they feel more heard in your office? Even if you can’t imagine what it would be like to practice because you want to (instead of needing the money), I want you to know it’s possible for you! And I firmly believe that we can be the best doctors and care providers when we aren’t seeing patients as dollar signs.
In Episode 199 of The Business Of Being Well, you’ll hear from Kathleen Faris, a physical therapist in the DC area. Kathleen shares the story of how she went from working in a busy practice seeing lots of patients, to taking time off of practice to raise her kids, to then building a network marketing empire and later deciding to start treating patients again. Kathleen’s story is amazingly inspiring, so if it’s time for you to dream bigger about what’s possible in your life and business this conversation is going to light you up.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:
- What perspective allowed Kathleen to have both time freedom and financial freedom
- Thinking outside of the box allows you to expand your budget to reach your dreams
- The liberation that multiple streams of income provides
- Tips for reframing your belief system
- What has changed for Kathleen since she has transitioned to practicing because she wants to, not because she has to
