How do you remain alert to opportunities and keep your practice profitable in a recession? In this workshop, we'll talk about workable, hands-on tips and strategies for maintaining and even improving your bottom line. You'll learn why it makes sense financially to focus on niche practices and which niches therapists rely on to attract clients in today's competitive market.
