When a business turns five years old, it’s like turning 35 in dog years!  It’s also cause for celebration. We all know the dismal failure rate of new businesses. I knew them, too, before I officially activated the Solo Practice University® site five years ago today. I was so anxious I could barely breathe. But […]

The holidays are upon us and this has been an amazing year.  I’m sure you all have stories to tell, too, both uplifting and maybe not so uplifting.  We do hope that Solo Practice University is part of the former as we strive to provide meaningful education, connection, and inspiration as you work on creating […]
