Dr. Kiera Smialek Doubled Prices and Halved Patient Load to Eliminate Burnout

I gained the idea that really anything is possible with your business and your life, you can make it to whatever you want it to be. You just have to trust yourself and really take that leap of faith. I'm Dr. Kiera Smialek. I am from scottsdale, Arizona, and I'm a naturopathic pediatrician. I help health conscious parents raise healthy kids from the start by providing comprehensive pediatric care and support. I do this by creating individualized health plans that parents can confidently execute to help their child thrive. I've been in practice now for almost 15 years. And about twelve months ago, I went into 2023 feeling really burnt out. I own a really successful brick and mortar practice and I was passionate about treating children when I started, and I had just lost that passion. I felt uninspired, and I also was at the point where I just felt like I needed something else. I didn't want to do the day to day patient care that I was doing, And I couldn't imagine myself doing it for another 20 years. So I needed to find something else, but I literally had no idea what that was or how to even go about making a change. In the past six months, I have been able to double my prices which meant that leading into 2024, I was able to see half the number of patients but still make the same amount of money and have way more time to basically work on my business and begin to think about other possibilities for other ways to grow my business. Since doing that, I mean, six months ago, none of this was ever even a thought of a possibility in my mind. And now I'm at the point where I have more excitement and more passion in my work. And I'm excited to go to work every day, and I feel like I can make a difference and I'm not going to be burnt out, and I'm already getting out of the burnt out which is amazing. It's allowed me more time with my family, more self care time, which I neglected for so long. So it's really changed a lot of my life at this point. I would say to someone who's on the fence on joining the Mindshare Mastermind, to take a leap of faith and just do it. There's nothing bad that's going to happen. You're only going to improve from it in probably so many ways, you've really did not even realize.
