Opening a cash-based practice can be incredibly rewarding—but it’s also full of lessons learned the hard way. In this episode, we share the three biggest mistakes we made when launching FIXXED, including undercharging, trying to do everything ourselves, and waiting until we felt “ready.” We break down how these decisions affected growth, profitability, and burnout, while offering actionable advice for PTs looking to start or scale their own businesses. If you're thinking about opening a practice, this episode could save you thousands of dollars and countless hours of frustration.
