Am I a Clinician or a Business Owner? with Julie Entwistle

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

mardi 20 mai 2025 • Durée 41:40

In our last episode, we interview Julie Entwistle, an occupational therapist turned business coach who grew her practice to 50+ employees, sold it, and transitioned into leadership and business consulting. Julie’s story is one of accidental entrepreneurship, ethical dilemmas, and big decisions: grow or stay solo, scale or sell, lead or stay in clinical work. Many OTs start a business for flexibility and freedom, but as it grows, so do the demands. Julie shares insights on when to step back from clinical work, how to structure a team, and why delegation is key to building a sustainable business.Resource:
