Many organizations have invested heavily in building structured processes to address occupational injuries early and effectively. At the same time, non-occupational (sick) leave has been left to fend on its own, and therefore has continued to rise.

When you stand on the edge of something bigger — a new role, a new level of visibility, a deeper purpose — your nervous system registers change as risk. Your mind scrambles for safety. It questions your qualifications. It replays past mistakes. It highlights everything you don’t yet know.

There are so many choices to take when you open a small health or holistic practice. Many stay in private practice because this is all they know, and all they have been taught. There has never been a mentor available to teach health professionals that private practice is not the only choice. Stretch! Invest in yourSelf.
