A short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video in which Will Humphreys and a guest discuss how private practice owners can block their own growth by trying to control everything. The speaker emphasizes that holding on (control, ego) limits business scaling and highlights the central role of mindset, letting go, and accepting mentoring/delegation to enable growth.
I love this idea of owners who get in their own way and how that's a limitation for growth. Because I know as an owner, for me, I felt like if I didn't show up and do the thing, like, it would never have gotten done. So to hear from, I'm guessing a lot of our audience members who own private practices who are like, what do you mean, get out of my own way? What do you mean by that? When you talk about getting out of helping you because you saw something that you're a master at, you help private practice owners get out of their own way, what does that mean to you?
Well, it's pretty literal to me. I had to. I had to learn that the hard way as well. It's just you don't realize how much you're actually holding back the business by trying to control everything is a good way of looking at it, I guess. And losing this is one I had to do. I had to lose my ego. Like, I really.
Had to get up. It always comes back to mindset, doesn't it?
I'm like, whoa, everyone wants me. Like, it's me, me, me. But then I tried to grow a business, and I can't grow a business of me. I needed to step back, get out of my own way, and realize, wait, I've got to mentor my clinicians so they can do what I'm doing.
