I started out just like you. Working with families, loving what I do. I have been cursed out, hit kicked spit on and more. In situations like that, you know what we do. Build rapport, intervene and help get that family on track. At some point in my career, I saw an invoice from one of the payors. The company made about $100 for every face-to-face hour that I had worked. I was making a little over 10% of that. I’m cool with meeting people where they are, I understand that families are going through different thing and lash out. But I am not ok with getting cheated out of money I worked for. I was a single mom with young children. My car half worked. with this 10% they were giving me I was living pay check to pay check struggling to make ends meet. I decided to boss up and take my cut.

I spoke to other business owners, some were helpful, but most were not as helpful as I would have hoped. I had to figure things out for myself. I had to work to learn the business side of things. I have had ups and downs in my business there are ups and downs in every business. I can show you how to get started and avoid the challenges I experienced.

I have come a long way from living paycheck to pay check and only getting a percentage of the money I worked for. I want to help you cut out the middle man and get the compensation you deserve.
