K: Why do you think it’s so important to consider virtual if people haven’t already gone virtual?

E: Having a virtual practice gives you a lot of flexibility. You can meet with clients from anywhere, and it also decreases your overhead.

And I highly recommend that people have it as a component of their practice, even if it’s not a hundred percent. It just allows everything to leverage my time better and just have more fun with the work that I’m doing.

K: When do you know it’s time to go online?

E: It’s not so much a happy sign, but a frustrated sign. It’s when you turn around and you look at your business and you see a lot of things that you don’t like doing now (or ever).

And then looking at what things you do want in your business. This is a good exercise to do no matter where you are in your business. This helps you fine tune, and make sure you’re working with the people you want to be working with. And your business looks the way you want it to look like.

K: What are some of the challenges someone might come up against with starting a virtual practice?

E: I would say having structure is something that’s really important when working from home. The other thing is having boundaries and dedicated workspace.

K: What do you need in place before you go virtual?

E: One of the first things that you can do is if you are in a brick and mortar, you just start seeing people over Zoom. That’s like the first thing that you change. And then you can figure out what your workflow is going to be from that. During your focus days, you can determine what your customer journey looks like from when they reach the website and the path they take to book a session. This included if you have a front desk person at your brick and mortar, how will that transfer to online?
