It takes money to make money, but the good news is that starting an online business as an OT isn't nearly as expensive as starting a brick and mortar private practice.

No renting out a physical space.

No fancy therapy equipment.

No expensive documentation system.

Your biggest online business expense is most likely going to be business coaching. 🗣️

I've talked to countless OTs who were perfect for online business and ready to get started, but when they're told how much an online business coaching program like ours costs, they go:

"It's just not in my budget."

I want you to imagine for a second that you're opening up a brick and mortar clinic next month. 

You don't have a lot in savings, but you still want it really bad. The timing is perfect in your life.

What would you do? 🤔

Most likely, you're going to do what every other clinic owner did. You would apply for a business loan.

You're not going to compare the business investment with your mortgag...

Do you want break through your traditional job barriers and live a more balanced and impactful OT career online?

From talking with countless OTs who want this for themselves, I've found some common roadblocks that are holding OTs back from leveling up to a thriving online OT career.

Without momentum, the fastest runner in the world would even lose a race.

You've got to keep your eyes on the prize. That means figuring out what your end goals in online business are in the first place.

Imagine that you can have anything you want. The sky's the limit. What would you want for yourself or y...

"Should I start a Facebook group for my business?"

I get this question asked ALL the time.

I started my Facebook group, Taking OTs Online, about three years ago. But I only started intentionally running it as a way to pour value and a TON of free resources into OTs/OTAs looking to start an online business about a year and a half ago. Can't believe we're 6k members strong now!! 💪

From a marketing perspective, the idea of providing value and serving your audience is (in my personal opinion) the best way to market a business because you get to organically build trust with your audience.

The short answer... 🥁
