What Practice Owners are Saying

“The opportunity to learn from the GPS coaches is a game changer for anyone aspiring to take their group practice to the next level. They have built their respective practices in very different ways and will be able to help you further build your clinic in your unique way. Being in a group with them you will be encouraged as well as challenged, and you will become part of a community of supportive colleagues.”

“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.

“If you are ready to grow your practice and reach new heights that you may have thought wasn’t possible, this is a not to miss opportunity. Ernie and Ken are unique in their ability to help group practice owners focus on their strengths, overcome their barriers and have fun while doing it. They get the challenges we face and can help because they are living it…I credit so much of my group practice’s growth to my work with them.”

“The GPS coaches are the biggest All-Stars of the group practice world. They have each created incredibly successful group practices, and just as important, they know how to keep that growth going. They have an incredible depth of knowledge in all facets of group practice, from hiring to marketing to effective leadership…You’ll be learning from the best, so be prepared for your practice to take off.”

“Ernie Schmidt is encyclopedic on anything having to do with business development. He’s as sharp as a knife at dissecting any place where the marketing process or the operational process might be breaking down or cramping growth…Ken Urie is a visionary. He has a gift for getting your eyes back on the goal and reminding you of whatever it is in you that at some point knew that you could do it…”

“Without Ken and Ernie, I’d probably be in the office grinding out of fear. Instead, it’s 2:00 on a Thursday and I’m outside enjoying time with my son—same results, but a much more peaceful way of getting there. They taught me how to build a business that runs itself instead of one that runs you.”

“Working with Ken and Ernie has been one of, if not the number one, grand slam home run of my professional development. Their advice comes from years of building enormously successful practices—it’s practical, implementable, and ready to deploy.”

“I was really struggling and I had no idea really what I was doing. I reached out to GPS, and with them I was able to start to strategically plan my growth. With their insight, knowledge and thoughtfulness, I was able to develop a solid business plan that I could see progressing towards an even higher profit margin…I wish many times I had met them a lot earlier than now.”

“What sets the GPS team apart from other business coaches…besides the fact that they’re all successful in what they do, they are wonderful people who really guide you in the right direction. They have really helped me to move my thought process, take action and really make a difference in the work that I do…whatever direction they point you in, it will only lead to your growth and success.”

“So if you listen closely to what each one of these individuals shares, and follow in their footsteps, I don’t think you can go wrong. I can think of no better Return on Investment personally, professionally and financially…”

“I now have 3 locations of my center with 20 clinicians, and we’re on track to do over a million dollars in gross sales this year. I truly have to say that I never could have achieved this type of growth so quickly without the GPS team’s help…I can’t say enough how much they’ve helped me grow my practice.”
