My guest on today’s podcast is Susan Arnold, the owner of a successful private practice that has been in business for nearly 20 years. She is also the president of an association called AAPPSPA, an organization created to help SLPs and audiologists run their business better.  In this episode, we talk about the role that communities have in personal, professional and business growth. As a certified orofacial mycologist, she discusses the benefits of joining an organization devoted specifically to determining the proper diagnosis and enhancing the research for these disorders. Similarly, as a business owner, she talks about having a trusted network of peers to collaborate and grow alongside with.  We also dive into Susan’s Team based approach in 2 ways. First on the clinically side to improve her clients’ customer experiences. Later, we talk about assembling a business team to enhance her ability to run her business more optimally. And stay tuned until the end where Susan & I discuss 3 action items that all SLPs, whether you are a private practice owner or just completing CF-Y, can take to enhance your career.  For the shownotes and all links mentioned in today’s episode, head over to utterlyfinancial.com/9
