I had been daydreaming about starting a business combining my two professional licenses of OT and massage therapy for a decade, but it always felt like a distant, one day, kind of thing. I imagined everything needed to be pretty close to perfect before I could really take that leap. I forget how I first stumbled across Doug and PPMBA, but I'm so glad I did. He helped me take the leap and made each little step manageable. And he helped me get out of my own way! This course and the coaching calls with Doug saved me countless hours of googling and researching and second guessing. I feel confident the investment in the program catalyzed my business growth and helped me build a caseload considerably faster than I would have been able to do on my own. I love the support and the community and am so grateful to have found it!

Private Pay MBA with Doug Vestal has been just what I was looking for to help get my business going. The lessons hit the points that are needed and go into more depth that I will be coming back to. The weekly group calls really help with being interactive and providing support from others who are trying to do the same things. I can't imagine starting without this investment.

Private Pay MBA is such a wonderful resource. I had no knowledge of anything related to business but knew I wanted to do better for myself. Doug's course and the community he has built is so supportive. Doug dives into the details and makes my dreams seem more attainable.

I would not be where I am today without Private Pay MBA; it sped up the process, gave me confidence and let me be successful in opening my doors to my cash based business. Prior to this course I was working nights and weekends trying to figure out what the necessary steps were to do my business. It took time and I was always worried that I was missing things. I had a strong desire to open my cash based pelvic health business but didn’t have all the tools in one spot to get me to that point very quickly, PPMBA changed that. After the course I had done the work necessary and my business was able to open within the next month. This course makes you do the work but also gets you to your goals.

Since opening my business I have followed the steps laid out in the course for marketing, MD referrals, and investing in the community with the encouragement that my business plan and management has a solid foundation. I would recommend this course to any OT starting their own business, it has everything that you will need to be successful.

I was initially drawn to Doug and his Private Pay MBA course because of the unique blend of perspectives he offers. While there are other therapists out there with books and resources, Doug stands out by combining the insights of a therapist, his wife, with his own business acumen. This was the missing link for me, as the business side of therapy is rarely covered in traditional educational settings.

From the moment I enrolled, I was filled with excitement rather than concerns. The course exceeded my expectations, particularly during the brainstorming sessions. Doug's ability to generate innovative ideas and strategies was eye-opening. He helped me think outside the box in terms of how to word my services, who to reach out to, and how to disseminate information effectively.

The biggest transformation for me was gaining the confidence and tools to open my own practice. Before taking this course, the idea seemed daunting, but now I feel well-equipped to take that step. What surprised me the most was how comfortable Doug made the entire process. The added bonus was the opportunity to connect with other therapists across the country, which enriched my learning experience.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Doug's Private Pay MBA to any therapist looking to elevate their practice and avoid burnout. The course is not just an investment in your business; it's an investment in yourself.

I would 10000% recommend Private Pay MBA! The course helped me map out and complete the steps needed to start my business.  It can be a huge benefit for others who are even in the very early thought process of starting a business and beneficial to those who've already started a business.
I think the mindset pieces to this course were GOLD in helping me move forward and I now realize the importance of having this mindset.

I wanted to thank you again for creating a Private Pay MBA course for OT's. This is an immeasurable tool in helping me and my business flourish.

Working with Doug has been a crash course in marketing specific to my business.  Everything we went over I was able to directly apply.  Doug doesn't do the work for you, but rather provides you the expertise and mentorship to confidently develop your own marketing voice.
