Active in Practice
Running a business does not happen automatically. Every profession has its own specific considerations. Are you fully prepared to become your own boss? And what does it take to make your own practice successful? Which steps can you take to ensure a strong start?
- Is entrepreneurship right for me? Entrepreneurial qualities versus therapist qualities. What do I need to take into account?
- In what way do I want to collaborate with others?
- How do I attract enough clients to my practice?
- How can I organize my practice so that I enjoy my work while also earning a sustainable income?
- What does my professional association expect from me?
- What administrative tasks and legal obligations do I have?
- What website options are available, and what choices should I make regarding social media?
These are some of the key questions addressed in the seminar.
As a therapist, you are primarily trained as a professional who provides patients with the appropriate treatments and advice. However, successfully running your own practice also requires entrepreneurial skills. This aspect often receives limited attention during professional training and in the period immediately following graduation.
This seminar, “Active in Practice,” provides a comprehensive framework to help you start and develop your own practice successfully and with confidence.
During the seminar, Petra Tjeertes explores what entrepreneurship really involves, including facts and regulations as well as common pitfalls and challenges. She offers an insightful look into the practical realities of running a practice, providing participants with valuable guidance and structure.
Petra has previously guided various programmes for start-up companies in the financial services sector. With extensive experience advising on business strategy, tax and legal matters, and market research and development, she understands the challenges therapists face when starting their own business. Her practical insights and experience help participants develop the knowledge, confidence, and skills needed to become successful entrepreneurs.
