How to identify and attract your ideal clients and your ideal work
One of the best things about being in private practice is the privilege of working with your ideal clients, and doing this in the manner you most enjoy. Sometimes in an agency or corporate setting we have little control over whom we work with and even how we work with them, but in your own business you can attract and work with your best possible clientele and you can do it in the way that feels most suitable for you.

How to incorporate self-care into your life as a private practitioner
Being in private practice can be one of the most rewarding jobs imaginable. Practitioners
are able to do the work they love, with clients they enjoy, on a schedule of their own
choosing. However, owning a business can also be stressful. There are demands that
don’t exist in a salaried job, and these can take a toll on the mental and physical health of
the clinician.
Self-care can seem like a luxury when you are managing the various facets of your
practice. You may believe taking time for yourself is giving you less opportunity for
productivity, but in the long run I assure you it is worth the investment. Self-care helps
prevent the burnout that is so common among helping professionals. It allows you to
rejuvenate so you are happier and more energetic when it is time to engage in your craft.
Your regimen should account for your physical, mental, and emotional well being, taking
care to refresh the particular dimensions that may have a tendency to become depleted
in your line of work. While the practice of self-care may look different for each of us, here
are some common essentials.
