How One Therapist Built an 8-Figure Practice Without Losing Her Soul ⭐ | IP 202
THIS was the most fascinating conversation!!!
When you hear what I’ve got for you today, I think you’re in for a surprise - a completely new way of thinking about private practice.
I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that - in general - we all assume that growth means seeing more clients, working longer hours, or opening another office. Because - what else could you do, right?
Well — what if there were another way?
I’m bringing back this favorite for our Summer Replay Series, when I spoke with Dr. Ajita Robinson, a grief and trauma therapist who has built an extraordinary mental health organization by thinking differently.
Through strategic partnerships, genuine relationships, and an unwavering commitment to serving others well, she's created an 8-figure practice without sacrificing the life she's building.
And yet - this conversation isn't really about building an 8-figure business.
It's about building a business that's aligned with who you are.
Along the way, Dr. Robinson shared how her early career in pharmaceutical sales unexpectedly prepared her for private practice (that’s a funny story!), why people don't want to be sold to (they want to be served) and how understanding someone else's needs can open doors you never imagined.
Whether your dream is to remain a solo practitioner, build a group practice, or simply create more freedom in your work, I think this conversation will stretch your thinking in all the best possible ways.
It sure did that for me! 💗
In this episode, you'll hear:
- What she learned selling Viagra at age 18 that still shapes her business today. (Didn’t see that one coming!)
- Why you’re never starting from zero, even if it feels like you’re starting over.
- How one simple relationship-building strategy helped this therapist grow from one office to more than 150 clinicians across 7 states. (😱)
But more than anything, you’ll hear about Ajita’s determination to build that kind of success without sacrificing the things that mattered most in her life.
And that’s what got me. :)
See - you really CAN build a practice that's not only wildly successful, but also deeply aligned with who you are and how you want to live.
Sometimes the biggest breakthrough isn't learning something new—it's seeing what's been possible all along.
I hope this conversation helps you do exactly that.
