Am I a Clinician or a Business Owner? with Julie Entwistle
<p>In our last episode, we interview Julie Entwistle, an occupational therapist turned business coach who grew her practice to 50+ employees, sold it, and transitioned into leadership and business consulting. Julie’s story is one of accidental entrepreneurship, ethical dilemmas, and big decisions: grow or stay solo, scale or sell, lead or stay in clinical work. Many OTs start a business for flexibility and freedom, but as it grows, so do the demands. Julie shares insights on when to step back from clinical work, how to structure a team, and why delegation is key to building a sustainable business.Resource:</p><ul><li>Julie's Business You: https://businessyou.ca/</li></ul><p>This is an Ontario Society of Occupational Therapists’ production.
