Starting a myofunctional therapy business can be overwhelming for some because  I’m pretty sure we are all type A. Or at least most of us!

And, to make matters worse, some of us probably type A+!

There isn’t really a type A+ I don’t think, but years ago I was at a health conference, and the doctor speaking talked about the difference between type A people and type A+ people.

The type A+ folks had an 8x greater risk of dying from a heart attack.

Why?

They tended to be more perfectionistic. More stressed. More tightly wound up. More intense. Bigger achievers. More competitive. And not very good at relaxing.

Does that sound like you?

I know for sure it’s a very accurate description of myself, except I’ve really gotten good at relaxing and protecting my peace. (Have you read “Plan For the Myofunctional Therapy Good Life“?)

My point here is that so many of you feel like you have to get it absolutely perfect, that you spend valuable time trying to get every last detail right.

In my pro-coaching program, I’ve had many students who refuse to move forward until every last detail is right. (Even details that aren’t important right this minute.)

Details like letterhead and brochures.

Perfect websites.

Beautiful home offices, with the right color scheme and just the right mix of plants and decor.

STOP it already.

? Stop being a fraidy cat.

? Stop procrastinating out of fear. (Again, have you read “How To Avoid Procrastination Disguised As Research & Planning In Your Myofunctional Therapy Business“?

When it comes to starting a myofunctional therapy business, I like to channel my Barbara Corcoran, and tell you….

“You don’t need to get it right, you just need to get it going.”

This couldn’t be more true when it comes to starting a myofunctional therapy business.

In my program, Ignition Implementation Lab, I teach you how to start your MVP (Minimum Viable Program).

I teach you how to get just three things in place before you’re ready to see clients. After that, you circle back around and work on the details, like letterhead and brochures. Perfecting and adding to your website. And beautifying your home office if that’s important to you.

The first three things you need to have ready to start a myofunctional therapy business are:

#1: Website
#2: Way to get paid (3rd party processor so you don’t have to handle payments)
#3 Client kits

Once those three things are in place, you are ready to see clients. (It may not feel like it, but you are!)

Now, this is assuming of course that you’ve already got your myo education. If not, you could be efficient and do both at the same time! I’ve got several students who are doing both, taking the Myo Mastery Program and completing the Ignition Implementation Lab. (The cool thing is…Ignition is now part of all enrollments at the training academy!)

Regardless of where you are at this moment, you can get where you want to go, IF you just get started!
