Summary
Libby explains that dietitians often make their biggest mistake when their practice starts working by increasing capacity before building sustainability. She distinguishes capacity (what you can handle at your maximum) from sustainability (what you can handle repeatedly without strain), and suggests a simple test: could you maintain your current pace comfortably for the next three months. If not, Libby says it’s a signal to add structure before expanding. She recommends making workflows repeatable (like using a consistent first-session flow), reducing decision fatigue with defaults (follow-ups, session structure, posting rhythm), and focusing on making the current load easier to maintain rather than adding more availability. 🔑 Key Takeaways: The Hidden Growth Mistake Capacity vs Sustainability The Three Month Test Structure Before Expansion Make Workflow Repeatable Stop Chasing More Hours Sustainability Creates Capacity Defaults Reduce Mental Load Build a Durable Practice Connect with Libby : Instagram: @libbyrothschild | @dietitianboss YouTube: Dietitian Boss Resources: Discover the seamless experience of Practice Better through our referral link!
