Flying Solo

Monday the 5th was my first day of solo practice. 
I am officially in business for myself.  Talk about intimidating.

I put press releases in the local papers and sent them to the radio stations too.  I sent out friends and family letter and attempted to let everyone who wanted to know where I am located now.  


I was thrilled when I got to the office Monday and had a voicemail from a patient wanting to get in that day. 


I set him up with an appointment, and went to town setting up the "refreshments."


They looked pretty amazing, if I do say so myself.  


I saw two patients that day.


And spent a lot of hours learning my medical records software.


And figuring out how to bill people using my new insurance clearing house.  


I also took a trip to Cliff's daycare to feed him at lunch.


Then I cried in the parking lot because I had to leave him and he was exhausted and red eyed. 


But I made it through my first day. 


And then I made it through my first week.


Things are slow, but promising.


I've done a radio interview and had 2 different marketing events with a 3rd in just a day or two. 


Plus, my friends and family sent me flowers and notes of congratulations.




They believe in me.
I am so appreciative for everyone's supoort. 
I may or may not have cried over my flowers.
I may or may not be a hormonal disaster all the time. 

I am officially a small business owner. 
Ya'll better be prayin.
