Starting a speech pathology private practice

I went to my home town, Westfield NJ, yesterday to visit an entrepreneurial SLP who started a very successful practice there called Pediatric Speech-Language Service LLC. The owner was so nice and helpful. I felt like I was talking to family. She gave us some great advice. More importantly, she gave me the final bit of confidence that I needed to move forward and start my own clinic.

The next, step is to find a location. My business partners (my brother and my sister) helped me scout out locations on Thanksgiving week. My sister did lots of research and gave us some really great options. We visited them all. Three really strong locations emerged, two lead options and one great back up.

We hope to sign a lease in the next couple of weeks.
