Show notes

You CAN work from home:

It takes planning right now
Rotate toys/activities
Make a loose schedule, but take a tip from a special needs mom and Elsa from Frozen and ....let it go!
Embrace imperfection. Privacy won't be perfect right now. Your clients will understand. You're human.
Still provide the frame and structure for your clients: don't get lost in the muck
Basic office setup so you at least look & feel your best
Time blocking for work, chores, family time, etc.
MAKE A DECISION THAT YOUR FAMILY WILL COME OUT OF THIS STRONGER
This is the last time in your kid's lives you'll have this much uninterrupted time with them
Manage your $$ anxiety as much as possible in front of kiddos

If you are in private practice, you wear a lot of hats. And some of those hats are totally great. But some — like filing taxes and running payroll, for example — not so great. That’s where Gusto comes in. Gusto makes payroll, taxes, and HR actually easy for small businesses. Fast, simple payroll processing, benefits, and expert HR support all in one place.

Gusto automatically pays and files your federal, state, and local taxes so you don’t have to worry about it. Plus they make it easy to add on health benefits and even 401(k)s for your team. So let them wear one of your many hats — you have better things to do. Listeners get three months free when they run their first payroll. Try a demo and see for yourself at gusto.com/pps.
