In this episode of   OT Yourself to Freedom , Beki Eakins explores one of the biggest misconceptions about building an online Occupational Therapy business. It's not a lack of talent, qualifications or even money that stops most OTs. It's underestimating the energy required to create something completely new. If you've ever wondered why starting a business feels overwhelming, why your confidence disappears the moment you step outside clinical work, or why so many Occupational Therapists quit before seeing results, this episode is for you. Beki shares her own journey of building an online business from scratch, including the creative ways she funded her first coaching investment when she didn't have the money sitting in her bank account. Rather than waiting for the perfect circumstances, she chose resourcefulness over excuses, a decision that completely changed the trajectory of her life and career. This episode is a reminder that every successful entrepreneur started as a beginner. Building an online Occupational Therapy business isn't difficult because you're incapable. It's difficult because you're learning an entirely new profession alongside the one you've already mastered. If you're an Occupational Therapist feeling burnt out by clinical work, dreaming of creating more freedom, or wanting to build a business around your expertise, this conversation will help you reframe the challenges of the start-up phase and understand why discomfort is often a sign that you're growing.
