If you’re dreaming about leaving dental hygiene and starting your own myofunctional therapy business, you don’t need to have it all figured out. The truth? You just need to focus on the right things at the right time—and that starts with five simple goals that can build real momentum.
Inside the Ditch Hygiene Academy™, we help dental hygienists make the leap every day. And whether you’re still on the fence or already trained, these foundational business goals will help you shift from overwhelmed to organized—and profitable.
1. Get Crystal Clear on Your Who
Before you worry about logos or websites, define your ideal client. Who do you love helping? What are they struggling with? Clarity here makes everything else easier—from marketing to client communication.
2. Develop Your Offer and Pricing
You’re not selling sessions—you’re offering a transformation. Design your therapy program to deliver results and price it in a way that reflects the value you provide. Forget what everyone else is charging; focus on your happy pricing.
3. Start Having Conversations
Your business starts when you start talking to people. Don’t hide behind branding or busy work. The fastest way to get your first client? Tell someone how you can help them.
4. Set Up Your Business Basics
Get your LLC or legal structure, a business bank account, a payment processor, and a simple way to book clients. Don’t overthink this—make fast decisions and get moving.
5. Build Your MVP (Minimum Viable Program)
What’s the simplest version of your offer that gets results? Start with that. You can refine as you go, but having something to sell now matters more than having everything perfect later.
The most successful myofunctional therapy businesses didn’t start with fancy branding—they started with conversations, confidence, and action. If you’re ready to go from “thinking about it” to signing clients, these goals will help you get there faster.
