GPS: Your 12-month Premier Therapy Group Practice Success Membership Program

Dear Therapy Group Practice Owner:

Group Practice ownership is an “uncommon journey”, we understand that the path can be lonely and overwhelming. Developing a Group Practice business that’s built to last doesn’t just happen on its own.
Group Practice ownership requires ambition, risk-taking, and perseverance. Because of the greater risks and unique talents required, Group Practice ownership also has the potential of greater personal, professional and financial reward. However, the costs of growing such a business can be enormous — and sometimes the profits expected just don’t show up.
When you’re working more, rather than less, your dream of “passive income” may seem like just a fantasy…

“If you are looking to take your current practice to new heights and achieve lifestyle balance in doing so, this is the program for you.” – Michael Schneider, Psy.D.

As a member of our GPS Premier Membership Program, you will receive an in-depth Group Practice Success Assessment to clearly identify where your business is at. GPS provides a full-spectrum appraisal of the state of your current business components, staffing, strategies, systems, experience, and results.

 Determine Where YOU Want to Go

If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca
You will also get very clear about where YOU and your Group Practice are headed. Whether the destination includes a revenue goal, number of clients served, a certain feeling of accomplishment, a financial goal for you and your family, more freedom–or simply more fun on the journey, this GPS Program will help you clarify your target.

 Determine the Best and Fastest Route to Get There

Success is the progressive realization of a goal or ideal.

Earl Nightingale
With GPS Premier Membership, your navigation forward will be clarified. Your GPS guides will understand exactly where you’re at and where you want to go — and determine the most efficient way for you to get there. GPS helps you forge ahead to the Group Practice Success experience you dreamed of. Our GPS program will help you get you where you want to be — with CONFIDENCE.

 Successfully Navigate any Roadblocks Along the Way

Straight roads do not make skillful drivers

Paulo Coelho
When building a successful Group Practice there will be unexpected and surprising obstacles, detours, and wrong-turns along the way. These can be discouraging and lead a Group Practice owner to wonder if this is the right path. Some Group Practice owners even daydream about the “good-ol’ days” of solo practice.
It can be overwhelming to manage all the unexpected issues that come up with additional providers and support staff. With your GPS Premier Program Membership, you will be guided and supported through each of these roadblocks, storms and unexpected turns.

 Enjoy the Journey

It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.

Ursula K. Le Guin
One of the essential keys to Group Practice Success is having support and fun along the way. This is a select group of success-minded, high-achieving individuals who will support, inspire and elevate you on the ride. And, be warned: they will also push, prod, and challenge you to greater demonstrations of personal growth and prosperity.

I was really struggling and I had no idea really what I was doing. I reached out to Joe, Ken and Ernie. With them I was able to start to strategically plan my growth and that has been an incredible help. With their insight, knowledge and thoughtfulness, I was able to begin to develop a solid business plan that I could see progressing towards an even higher profit margin in this business. They are experts in the field and they know what they’re talking about. I wish many times I had met them a lot earlier than now — I think it would have made my life a lot easier.
